Teacher Appreciation
I got up bright and early Saturday morning to man the H & R Block table during the Staples Teacher Appreciation event.
Linda Shinn came by and we reminisced about meeting up at the shag place in Myrtle Beach. Amanda Diaz and her husband tried to think of where they knew me from and it turned out it wasn't BCEA, but, rather, the Eastampton 5K run. Two Burlington County residents that teach in E. Brunswick came, independently of each other, at the same time and had a good chat about common colleagues and family life.
We had fun dancing at Prospectors Friday night. Speaking of Prospectors, it's so upsetting and disappointing that WXTU will no longer be hosting Friday Night Lives there. :-(

Monday, Monday.....
I'm heading out for the dentist, library, HR Block meeting, and County Corner Store session for SHIP. Whew! I'm tired already! :-)
The week-end included dancing at Prospectors (no, I didn't win the tush push contest, but it was fun), two movies (Bourne Legacy (not bad) and The Watch (not my first choice, and not highly recommending it at all, but it was funny in parts), and Sunday brunch.
I have something to do every day this week, oddly enough, but maybe we'll get to the beach one of these days (if it cools down and isn't raining!)
Staples Teacher Appreciation Day is the 18th. (I'm "hosting" at an H&R Block table at the one in Mt. Holly).
Jackson is back from the Dominican Republic and Sue and fam look like they're having lots of fun in Rio.
How about those Olympics? (Go, Carli!)

Week-end fun
We danced at Prospectors Friday, partied on Saturday, and saw the new "Total Recall" on Sunday.
Here's a sample of the party fun: (many thanks to the gracious hosts!)

August already...
So my scheduled jury duty is not happening yet still....I have to call again Wednesday night...
It's sounding rainy...not boding well for the parties happening outside today :-(
We are struggling with Windows 7 on the new computers. Perhaps it's time to find and read some directions....
We made some plans for Florida, time share-wise; Myrtle Beach is coming up and Tom is interested in finding a way to get there sooner than our set time. We'll see.
Barnes and Noble posed a question for readers of Facebook: What was the first book you read? There were over 1900 responses (and I skim/read all of them!). Fascinating!
My first best book I ever read had to be Dr. Seuss's Horton Hatches an Egg. I loved that story!

Going for the Gold
It's Olympics time once again and we are glued to our TV for the exciting events! USA! USA! (and UK, too!)
July is drawing to a close and we have been pretty busy throughout. Tom had his BCG treatments, we had a mini Heroes marathon with Jackson, and we went to the Jamboree in the Hills (hooking up with George and Doreen after all this time!). We've seen like every movie that's out that we wanted to. I've been attending a study group with my HR Block friends (there's a big IRS test a comin') and I had some train adventures as I attended a really great Medicare Conference in New Brunswick last week (and tied it in to this month's lunch with Gee Gee, too). I "rocked Hollystock" in the rain Saturday, practiced SHIP counseling at the County Corner store with Ben this morning, and had a phone meeting with Mike of HR Block. Tom has happily gotten in some golf and is currently working on a magnificent eggplant parmesan dish.
Soon it will be August....

A New Look
We finally lit the fire under our feet and have started some home renovations, starting with a new front door and some reflashing of the roof for leak control.
IRS certification test preparation is moving along steadily, which is a good thing...
We have seen a lot of the new movies that have come out recently with mixed reviews (mostly just OK as opposed to anything really grabby. I guess the one I liked the best of the lot so far was the early on Snow White and the Hunter.)
I hope I didn't lose a library book (but it's looking bad :-( I'll keep looking. Now I am currently reading the delightful The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. :-)
I'm so looking forward to dancing at Prospectors tonight with our Hawaii, now Virginia Beach bound, friend Teri.
