The 12th Annual Fourth of July Open House

When I originally notified people about the event for this year it was also notated that this would be the last open house for July 4th. Barry had been laid off since April 1st and we figured unless by some miracle we would have to move within 9 months of July 1st (severance carried us to June 30th). But miracles do happen and my only prayer is that this is not a dream and he will not fail.  On June 29th he had 3 job offers and excepted one that he felt he most fit with.  He would be primarily working from home but traveling to Atlanta a few times to meet with the client and to King of Prussia where the main headquarters of the company is located. And if he wants to go to an office "how far are you from Bridgewater?"  What more could you ask for - no pay deduction in salary - no problem. So at least now we get to stay and leave when we want rather than when we have to.

So needless to say it may or may not be the last 4th of July but we all had a great time including the county fireworks.

ETC 2010

Well, after Barry spent 10 months planning the trip to Thailand we finally began the journey on December 10th, 2010 by flying out of JFK to Cairo, Egypt. The planning began once I had my double knee replacement in January of 2010 but didn't become finalized until a few days before we left. Since we used Frequent Flyer Points for the trip we were able to stay in Egypt for 5 days. Are you getting the idea of what ETC might stand for yet?

So begins our journey and time in Egypt where we would see pyramids, mummies, temples, belly dancers and early Christian churches. So look for the next post about ETC 2010.
