Today is TJ&#39;s graduation from pre-school but it is not looking very promising right now.    They are having a Picnic in Nazareth park but it poured  all night so the little creek that runs though the picnic area should be running pretty high.   The school has their party there every year and it is not a question of whether a child will fall in the creek but the question is how many kids will fall in.    It is very very shallow normally but very rocky.   I hope they can squeeze in part of the program though - the kids work so hard on their little presentation.<br /><br />Yesterday Jim &amp; I went to the new Casino that opened in Bethlehem.    It is really beautiful - on the grounds of the old Bethlehem steel plant.    Very lovely casino - very big and roomy.   Our casino in the Pocono&#39;s is very crowded - not much room between the rows, etc.      I managed to bring home about &#036;500 of their money so it was a GREAT day for me.<br /><br />Shari - Will be thinking of you today.   Hope the shots bring you some relief.<br /><br />Hector - have you ever eaten in DeLorenzo&#39;s?   Heading there this afternoon to see if we can arrange a evening for the Lehigh Valley Heart Association.   They run special events for organizations where they donate a percentage of the nights  receipts to a specific charity.   <br /><br />Fred - I started my cruising in &#39;64 on the Home Lines Homeric - What a gorgeous ship she was.   Finally got DH Jim on his first cruise in the 70&#39;s on the Cunard Princess out of NY to Bermuda and got him hooked also.  After that we took quite a few Home Lines cruises on their new Homeric til the Company closed and we went to the &quot;Mainstream lines&quot; and now have more than 30 cruises completed and hopefully many more to come.<br /><br />Kevin - Bon Voyage to Sharon and your son.    I hope they have a wonderful time.    Sounds like a really great way to earn those badges - definately a lot more fun than some of the things we did in scouting to earn our badges.   Great new Avatar of you and Sharon.<br /><br />Jim - you have been pretty quiet lately.    Hope things are OK.  Are you working on any new projects?<br /><br />Martha - When are you planning a trip to Disney.    Where will you stay?    The hotel, meal plans and Disney tickets will be nothing compared to the expense once you get in the park.    Those stores will take your last &#036;.   lol      With that said, seeing DisneyWorld through the eyes of your grandkids is a priceless experience.<br /><br />Cheryl - Did Chris decide on going on the cruise with you?    I&#39;m glad Carnival was able to work out things for you.<br /><br />Steve - How did Roe enjoy seeing her old friends?    Does she keep in touch with some of them other than at the reunion?   <br /><br />Deb - great to have you back.     Now you can start preparing for your Cape Cod trip.   Where will you be staying?    The Cape is so beautiful.   We loved it there when we went.   <br /><br />Andrea - How are the bumps and bruises?    Hope you are doing better.<br /><br />Falina - hoping for some good news for you today.   Is Dennis back on the road this week?<br /><br />Joey - Waiting to see some pics of your SF trip.     SF is high of my &quot;to do&quot; list.    <br /><br />Time to get moving and see what today will bring.  I must say it is not looking very promising right now but the weather report says the rains will hold off til this evening.     I&#39;m sure those nice old wooden picnic tables and benches will be pretty wet though.<br /><br />Make today special.    <br /><br /><br /><br />
