Happy holidays!

We were away in Florida for about two weeks and had fun. Tom was the sole driver both ways and all went well ....except for a mailbox/taillight incident having nothing to do with traffic...but that's a tale for another day.

We got to visit with Diana and Linda and Joanne, which was great. We were sad to miss Wilma, but got to talk anyway.

It continues to amaze me at the number of acquaintances we have that visited Disney World in and around the time period we were in the area.

Since we've been home we have danced and seen the new Star Wars and gone out to a lot of lunches and dinners (well, I have anyway!). Tom got himself an I-pod at last and he is very happy. More health things are ongoing, but we are dealing with them.

Hooray for newly thinner Margie (hi!) and all her cruise and vacation tripping.

Thanksgiving it is!

12;35 a.m Tom and I are heading to bed early tonight. In the  morning we'll be heading out to the surgery center for his cyst removal (outpatient surgery).

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner tonight. We'll enjoy it again for the next few days. Why so early? There's a good reason. Really.

I see I mostly missed most of November in terms of keeping up with the blog. Let's see.....dancing, of course. Two concerts....Keith Anderson and Love and Theft. Read five books.Saw four movies. Enjoyed Bruce's Concert band at the library auditorium.Loved and sang along with the Moorestown Theater Company's production of The Pajama Game, had big fun at Game Day at the library. I played Collaborative Scrabble with some new friends I met there. I did some craft-y card and notebook cover making with the Eastampton Seniors, enjoyed meeting the author at our last book club gathering, and am happily increasing my contacts with old schoolmates on a daily basis. So fun!

I had lunch with Gemma and two lunches with Gee Gee Otto this month. Whoo hoo! I also had lunch with my Delran retired friends. (I eat lunch out a lot these days. Hmmm.....)

I can't believe next week is December already. O M G.   :-)

November!

So I'm thinking I haven't written for awhile....the usual. But that means we're too busy having fun, right?

I put all the photos from Sue and Patrick's visit on my gratis via comcast website:  http://rosallee.weebly.com/relatives-and-friends

It was great to see them.

Other things have probably happened but I can't think of them right now....but most recently we were in Atlantic City for the NJREA and then NJEA Convention and had fun.

We are looking forward to the concert at Prospector's tonight- Keith Anderson- and we have extended our upcoming Florida trip plans and will more than likely be driving because of the logistics.

Good news! I passed the test for my next certification level with H& R Block. Now my title will be Senior Tax Consultant (formerly Senior Tax Advisor 5).

This Friday is the big event for helping Medicare beneficiaries review/sign up for plans during the Annual Open Enrollment period (which will be ending Dec. 7th)

Sugarfootin'

I'm heading for Prospectors soon. I hope I remember how to dance....it's been so long.

Poor Tom hobbled home from golf Wednesday with a pulled or strained calf muscle that has him laid up for awhile. No bowling for at least a month. Golf...? Don't think so. Dancing...not now. Driving...meet the new chauffeur! Seriously, it's nice to be able to do things for him for a change.

Also in thoughts and prayers for healing are Ted (of Ann) and Michelle (of Melissa and Prospectors).

I've been doing some classes and meetings and lunches and Township events.

At Fall Focus

Sue and Patrick were on the East Coast and popped in for an unexpected but very welcome visit!
We went to Grounds for Sculpture and took pictures.


Hard to believe a week from today it will be November!

Sick

So yesterday my nose stated running and it hasn't stopped yet. Not fun.

Tom has a series of doctor's visits and an ultrasound and physical therapy planned for the next week or so. He has been coughing thickly for like a month.

On the plus side, Mike Kaminski, DEA President gave me access to the Delran website and I posted my photos and a little article about the Fall Focus at the Merion the other night. It was good to see them.

It was comforting to have a place to report about it.

I talked to Joanne and Marcia right before they left for the start of their Hawaii adventure. I look forward to hearing all about it upon their return.

Looking for a good cry?

Talk about a motivational speaker!
This talk about  his mother is enough to turn anyone away from drugs...you think?

If it's so autumn now, why was it 87 degrees today?

I am going to head out soon and hit Wawa and Dunkin Donuts both for some free (It's Coffee Day) liquid refreshment. How nice of them!

Today I had two classes for HR Block and I ran down to AAA in between to renew my membership which is up on Thursday. I even stopped at the gym for a workout, but when I realized I didn't have my book with me (to read while I treadmilled and biked), I went home.

No dancing tonight, but soon (yay). Tomorrow...the gym. For real. Book in hand.
