Momoffive aka Loretta

Small world. DH graduated from Lehigh with his Masters. We both went to DeSales for under grad on the "other" side of the mountain. Used to frequent the Tally Ho on occassion and another bar a few blocks down can't remember the name of that one. I consider Bethlehem home and get that warm and fuzzy feel when ever we go back. Have you been back any time in the last couple of years? It has changed quite a bit. Tearing down a lot of the Steel and they have been transforming it into a a big commercial outlet including a Casino. We haven't stopped in Bethelehem in a long time always stay in

Which Dinner Show would you choose and why? We have never been to a dinner show and would love to take the kids to one.

OOh OOOh OOOh Mr Carter Mr Carter OOOOOOH Mr Carter!!!!

Hopewell, that's only a little further North from me. I spent tha last years of schools in Delran and Moorestown then college in Lehigh Valley, PA. Stayed after I graduated until we moved here almost 7 years ago. I miss Bethlehem and Musikfest, but I am happier here. Shamokin Pa, St Edward's Catholic Church, the first church in the world to have electric. Don't ask me why I know that. We went to a wedding in Shamokin once.

Can I ask where in Pa and NJ do you have family? Hubs and I are grew up in NJ and I was born in Pa. My husbands family is just outside of Allentown. We met in college there, so Bethlehem area is where we stayed until we moved here. I grew up in South Jersey just outside of Philly. Everybody else is still there. So we travel back and forth "a lot". Where in Jersey are you from?

We just did a 24-hour one this time, I had a 30 day event monitor about 5 years ago. What a PITA! Thanks, I appreciate your good thoughts! I have a genetic heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, that's a mouthful ain't it! Dr. Hazday in Orlando is a specialist in this condition. I'm gonna get on my :D for just a second. This condition is usually what causes young athletes to have sudden cardiac death. Please, if your child's doctor says they have "a heart murmur" find out what is causing it, it could save their life! Lobby for AED's to be placed at your child's school. Ok off my soap bo

I got one too. On the look out too I guess.

Now we live in North Carolina right off 52. If you pick up 52 South off of 77 up at the VA/NC line. 52 into 85 into Charlotte. Just on the other side of Charlotte we pick up 26 then I95 South. As long as you're not during rush hour Charlotte has never given us trouble. Oh we pick I81 any day over I95 to head home to family in PA and NJ. Make that trip 3-6 times a year. I do take I95 North when I am by myself with the kids a lot and I would much rather be on 81.

Best gift I gave my Father was our snowblower with a BIG RED bow on it when we left the Lehigh Valley in PA and moved here to NC. Here we get strange looks if we shovel the snow...almost always gone within 24-48 hours with only 1 or 2 exceptions. It is beautiful to look at........in pictures only.

I'll be right back. I have to go poke my eyes out so I don't accidentally catch a glimpse of a Soft Ball game as I flick to the real baseball games. That goes for soccer too, and I'm a native European. Party pooper !! Love me some softball. All 3 girls are playing again this year. Just got back in after an afternoon of batting practice with just the family (well the boys slept in the backseat of the van). Mom had a go at it too and I am still the home run queen as my DD stated!!

Very observant. I'm trying to come up with a snarky come back. Let's see, they suck. Almost as much as the Rays. Rays, what kind of a name is that? Isn't that a pizza joint in NY, Ray's Pizza? Ya, I know, Deb's a Rays fan. What does she know, she's from that great baseball town of Buffalo. You know, maybe if y'all would watch softball (fast pitch), you would have all this hate and bordem! Well said Jen!! So much better to watch. College games should be on now.

:rofl2: :D :rofl2: :rofl2: :bravo: Congratulations!!!

Vodka Sours...oooh Yum or just hand me a Corona with lime please if available. Special times call for a Guiness :rofl2:

Loving the TR!! I so would love to cruise but DH is NOT interested. I promised the girls we would go on one together when my oldest is 16 and the 2 younger girls are 14. They are already planning it. Keep it coming DB. The pictures are amazing!! :rofl2: :rofl2:

Gotta Love the attitudes of the Small Wonders!!

DDT? Looks kind of like the place where I remember seeing the winning pumpkins.

We loved it, the kids loved it. Loved that we got Goofy! Oh, but I can't say any of our drawings looked like him. LOL

In the spirit of Fiendship, if I am down there when you are, I would not mind watchinig your kids for you to have time with your hubby. I'm sure my Mama and I could keep them entertained! You would have to keep them for the night though. Thanks...so sweet. We would leave them home with my in laws, not my first choice but.... I already ran the idea by DH this morning. I think I was dreaming about it last night. I have always wanted to do the Keys to the World Tour, Matt not so much. He's afraid it would spoil the Magic. We'll see.

I am in love with this idea and my wheels are spinning. Any volunteers to watch 5 kids.....LOL! Hope it is still around in a couple of years, love the idea for our 20th anniversay.

I need to budget a trip to Sams Club!! I would love one of these for the Condo tent if we need it, but we could use it in the garage in the summer. I hate tent camping in the heat of summer!

Love all these pictures!!! I want a week at the Fort to just vaction. Maybe next year!!! I am loving that idea more and more, so much to do.

Here's a You Tube tour... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUQxzdcL7ro Very cool!! Attention Foolish Mortals: Walt Disney Imagineering has an exclusive first look at the new interactive queue being added to the Haunted Mansion attraction Magic Kingdom Park

Ali, I should so call you and order "pizza" again! LOL Seriously if you need to chat! We are going thru it here too with both boys. My heart is broken. We too were dreading the additional diagnosis for one of the boys not long ago, but the powers that be said no to the bipolar and the schizophrenia. Instead they handed us a list of 5 other diagnosis. We were getting him under control and now the other one is all over the place. It's sad and it hurts that we as parents can't have them curl them up on our laps and kiss the boo boo away. We have an appointment with a psychologist in less

WELCOME!! :rofl2: So happy you found us!!!
