Post Thanksgiving and all is well...

Tom is off to golf and I am home making decisions about saving photos and financial moves.

Sue is in NYC with Zoe, having spent Thanksgiving with her and Millie's crowd and Alex and the boys.

We got to visit with her for a few days and had big big fun.

Tom made us a scrumptious Thanksgiving meal, and then we went to see "Skyfall", the new James Bond. I am pretty sure Ian Fleming didn't write that story. Is it mean to say I preferred "Wreck it Ralph"? Sue and I saw "Lincoln" and except for falling asleep a bit in the beginning, we really enjoyed it. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing!

Ok...back to figuing out how to move all my photos from multiply.com to somewhere(!?) before they are gone forever.....

A Visit and a Wedding

On our way home from Myrtle Beach we stopped in to visit (and stay overnight with) Alex and the boys.
It was great to see them even for the short time we had. Alex and Jackson hurried off in the morning to take Jackson to get his driving permit (?!!) and we headed home to NJ to unpack and get ready for our next wedding.





The wedding was lovely and we had a great time!

One down, one to go

We've been packing all morning and now Tom's enjoying a power nap before we take off for the long journey ahead.
The visit with Joanne K. and sister Jayne was fun. 
 

  


  Then we golfed yesterday and met a nice Canadian couple we hooked up with. Then we met Doug and Jo-Anne for dinner and the Legends show. Doug was great, as always!

We're stopping by their place to pick up some "stuff" for transport and then we're on our way! (I'm thinking the snow is melted by now....) 


Mr. and Mrs. Brewin, at home


With luck, we'll get to stop at Alex's for a fast hello, and then we'll be off and looking forward to Lynne Pilvalis's wedding tomorrow.

Wonderful Times

Today we had a chance to visit with Mike and Margie and see their beautiful MB home before they had to fly back to NJ. We played UpWords and had big big fun. :-)




Speaking of fun, Doug and Jo-Anne's wedding week-end was just glorious! We played golf, enjoyed the Legends Christmas Show (starring Doug, among others), set up for the wedding, meeting lots of new friends in the process, enjoyed and celebrated the joining together of these two lovely friends, helped clean up a bit, and then met up again the next night for a glorious dinner at Rioz.

The weather has turned a bit cold (but not as cold as NJ is, we hear!)

We're hoping to hook up with another Joanne friend tomorrow.

Lots going on

So hooray hooray! I have now passed two, count'm two, certification level tests for HR Block. Just call me "Senior Tax Advisor 1"!

Yesterday's four events of the day were: shadowing the SHIP counselors at the County Corner Store in Moorestown, book club in Eastampton, Meet and Greet the legislators with BCEA at COB, and taking the aforementined Senior Tax Advisor test in Lumberton (I passed the "Tax Advisor 4" test last Friday).

Today, I attended the Contact In-service presented by Kristen from Crossroads, went to the gym, went to the BCEA office for some SHIP work, and tonight I'm back to Contact for the overnight.

Tomorrow....Gee Gee! Yay!

Keeping busy

Poor Tom! He can hardly keep track of me these days!

Today is the annual TP&AF meeting in Hightstown and tonight we're going to Prospectors early for a special event honoring Doug E., a dancing friend who passed away this year.

Yesterday I popped in to a nearby HR Block office and took the next level certification test and passed. Yay.  (Oh, and have I mentioned that I took and passed the RTRP IRS test and passed that, too? :-)

We are looking forward to seeing Joanne on her way home from PA and hope her mom has no ill effects from her recent episode.

Soon we'll be in Myrtle Beach for Doug and JoAnne's wedding (and see our Joanne K then again) and then come back in time for Lynne's wedding.

I am so not looking forward to a cold, snowy winter. :-(

Keeping busy

I seem to be spending a lot of time eating out these days, mostly luncheons. Between DKG and Contact and RSVP, my DEAR reunion group, and my friends, exercise and otherwise, I've been keeping pretty busy!

Today is both the last day for tax returns with extensions and the first day of Medicare Open Enrollment. Hmm....coincidence? (probably!)

We're disappointed not to see Caitlin and Zoe while they are together in NYC, but they don't have that much time and there is so much to do for fun! Ah, youth! :-)

Tom is looking malignancy free which was great news. He will be starting a year's worth of treatments tomorrow (BCG once a month).
