See you tomorrow!

I hope everyone has been enjoying a wonderful summer...(and surviving the heat!) How about that booming thunderstorm last night?? Did you lose power like we did?

What have you been up to? We just took my sister to the airport today to fly home to California. It was great seeing her...and also "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Beautiful" on Broadway. I joined a subdivision of that half price ticket place that gets discount tickets for seniors (among other special groups) and look forward to taking the train into NYC more often than ever to see more shows. Anybody interested in joining me sometime? :-)

Let's talk........

See you tomorrow, I hope!

Carol in Italy

Last pictured in the photo of the previous entry, eating with us at Dooney's Pub, Carol was more recently seen in this photo of her husband Frank's on Facebook today. (Looking good, Carol! Have fun!)

Meanwhile, happy Fourth of July week-end to all our DEAR friends!
Speaking of Independence Day, the movie of the same name was pretty good for a sequel.....

Dooney's lunch in June

It was June 22nd and good to see everyone!

Strawberry Festival

Bruce and his band were wonderful and the strawberry concoctions were yummy! Here's a link to the photos from the Festival (I'm still trying to figure out how to work windows 10 for just grabbing any photos I want to post....) without having to deal with their photo format. :-(

Hope to see many of you on Wednesday at Dooney's! And congratulations to Doreen Lawrence and Linda Gringeri and all the other newly retired Delranians! (I was so sad to not be able to attend this year's luncheon (new format), but Tom had surgery that day and needed me. (He is doing fine now).

Congratulations, Cory!

Cory Goss is living in Florida now. Her son Brett recently got married and there is a beautiful post on Facebook with photos from the wedding. The photographer did a great job.

They enjoying a European vacation right now, too (that's Cory and Ed, not Cory and her son!)

Lunch update and upcoming event

We enjoyed another fine lunch at Dooney's (I had the grilled cheese and it was a gooey delight with tomato and bacon and lots of delicious cheese....no more cholesterol for me for awhile!)

We set the next meeting date for June 22nd. That's back to a Wednesday and I hope you will pencil us in on your respective calendars and work around us.

Actually, the annual DEA retirement lunch is the week before, on June 15th and I hope many of you will be able to attend that as well. (My husband has surgery that day, so I won't be able to attend. :-(
Best wishes to Doreen Lawrence and Linda Gringeri, as well as all our other retiring former colleagues and friends. (Let's make sure we get them on our DEAR email list!)

Bruce Smith sent out an email about an upcoming musical event. Did you see it? Sounds like fun!

Hello and how are you?
Here are two items for you to consider.

Item # 1 - The Moorestown Community Band will be playing (as we do every year) at the 1st Presbyterian Church Strawberry Festival at the corner of Riverton Rd. (Chester Ave.) and Bridgeboro Road on Friday June 3.  This annual event is always quite enjoyable and we will play outside on the lawn.  If weather is an issue we will play inside.  The time is from 6 P.M. until dark.  The MCB will be playing three 40 - minute sets of music, beginning around 6:20.  Come out and join us and treat yourself to some delicious homemade cake drenched in vanilla ice cream and fresh Jersey strawberries. Hope to see you there.

Item # 2 - We are interested in playing what you would like to hear.  With that in mind, is there any specific music you'd like us to play at our future concerts?  If so, please let me know specific titles, composers, etc.  Thanks for your input and your support of the band.

Musically yours,
Bruce Smith, Conductor, Moorestown Community Band

(If you don't have Bruce's email, you can send your suggestions to me: rosallee@yahoo.com and I'll see that he gets them!)

Peru with Joanne, Marcia, and Wilma

Not me, but I feel like I made the trip to Peru.

Tom and I stopped in on Joanne Karwacki in North Carolina on our way home from Myrtle Beach and were treated to a tour de photo over lunch.

See anyone you recognize? :-)
