I put my warm ski clothes and H&R Block hat today and attended the Mt. Holly Fire and Ice Festival.
It was a cold day, but I was as warm as if I was on Killington in VT ready to hit the slopes.
A lot of folks stopped by our booth and I had a chance to sample some mighty fine chili, too.
It snowed! but I braved the roads to and from work and lived to tell the tale.
Speaking of snow, there have been a couple of biggies since last I wrote. This is getting to be some white winter!
I am really looking forward to the Austin trip/wedding. It will be great to see all the Goffs and I'm lining up other assorted relatives along the way (see Samantha in Texas and Roxanne in Atlanta ...and wouldn't it be great to hook up with our aloha friends Doug and Leslie?)
Enjoying retirement.....yes!

Fun with Friends
Tom came out for the first Sugarfootin' Sunday of 2014. The last one was in November and the next isn't until Feb. 2. It was quite and crowd and we had big big fun!
This morning was the official Brunch Group of January. Ann and Ted look good and they caught us up with the goings on of the family relatives. MIke is so excited about heading to Israel in March. I should hook him up with Jon!
Our tax talk for the Eastampton Seniors went well. I hope the Contact in-service version is a good one too.
Wow, that's Wednesday. Better get this show on the road!
Back to work tomorrow. Tax season is a slow starter because of the two week shut down of the government back in late 2013, but we'll be very busy soon enough, I'm sure.
We are looking forward to Austin.

A New Year
Let it not be said I didn't resolve to write in this blog more for 2014...
That being said, the new things are how cold it is and is going to be (I mean really cold...they are warning us how to keep the pipes from freezing), the fun we had at Prospectors for New Years, the plane reservations made for Austin for Sarah's wedding, Tom joined the new gym, and the new tax season is underway.
Also, the last minute replacement brunch for 2/3 of the Brunch Group on Sunday cost us $42! Hmm...I hope next week at the crepe place is more reasonable! :-) Ooh la la crepe!

Cold yet sunny Christmas Day
We had Christmas Eve Day breakfast with some of my old fifth grade pals yesterday morning. It was great to see them and find out what's been going on and how they are planning on spending the holiday.
We saw "Saving Mr. Banks" Sunday night. Wow. Who knew there was such a backstory for not only the making of Mary Poppins, but the author as well.

The Book Thief
Yesterday was so much fun. I finished the book, met with my book club and went right to the movie...at a new theater with comfy seats and free popcorn and soda! Whoo hoo!
The book was good and added more dimension to the movie than I would have had without having read it first, but I have to say I liked the movie ending better.
I am now library book-less. I may have to turn to the Nook. :-)

Party Time
It's getting to be that time of year....
Last week we were treated to a wonderful Holiday Party for the Eastampton Seniors at the Boilermakers Union Hall. Local 28 is in our town and they hosted the party, organized by our favorite activities coordinator, Officer Ernie Rogers. Home Depot "elves" were on hand, too, with lots of goodies in their sleigh for us. What a wonderful treat.
Yesterday was the DKG Holiday Dinner. After a somewhat disastrous ride and parking experience, I really enjoyed the Tavistock dinner and Sigma (and guests!) company.
It lasted way later than anticipated so I had to pass Prospectors and Tom right by and meet him at home instead.
I'm ready to dance now ...but it is REALLY cold out!

December already? Wow!
So right now I am in the middle of making SHIP calls to the people I was given today with questions about Medicare. Later I am heading out to a Kindercare location to assist in a Tax Talk for HR Block. Tonight we dance!
Tom headed out to golf (and there's 8-10 inches of snow currently somewhere out west.....!) after his water therapy appointment.
Our latest adventures have included attendance at cousin Beej and Mike's 50th wedding anniversary and Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases in the area of phones and tablets and headphones...oh my. (No, we still haven't gone to the smart phone (dark) side.....!)
The party was a lot of fun and we sat with great people-Kenny and Susie, Roxanne and Craig, and Francine and Bruce.
We saw Delivery Man last night and enjoyed it. We've also seen Thor and Hunger Games-Catching Fire, and About Time. I am looking forward to seeing The Book Thief....but not until I finish reading it! (and probably will go with my book club....if I can wait that long!) [On the subject of book club books, I also read and really enjoyed The Husband's Secret...just sayin']
