Getting the work done so we can play tomorrow

Today I got my weekly bookwork and bills taken care of and our weekly laundry, I text messaged back and forth with Ray, emailed back and forth with Sam, talked on the phone twice with Jeremy, went to the heart doctor with my dad and stepmother, drove to Reading to pick up Destiny, cleaned up the kitchen floor after Destiny washed the dishes and got a whole lot of water on the floor (she wanted to see what it would be like to slip on the floor). And now we're watching Cheaper By the Dozen II on TV with popcorn. What a funny movie!

And that was my day. Tomorrow we go to Hershey Park - a day provided by Dick's employer, including a free meal. Dick is there this evening with a boy from our church, riding the roller coasters. Destiny was unhappy when she found that out. She said, "But I like the wild rides too." I guess we'll see how many of them she's tall enough for by now. I have a feeling the days of kiddie rides are about over for her!

I hope that the rain does not come to Hershey Park tomorrow. I think it is supposed to come tonight and early morning. Of course, it could cool you off too! Just wear your swim suit and you will be fine. (smiles)

I love Hershey Park. When we lived near Philly, we'd go there with the kids - and without!

They had one of the first looping roller coasters - The Super Dooper Looper. I took Susan on it when she was about 5 - she couldn't even reach the bar to hold on. I had to keep hold of her through the whole ride. She got a T-shirt after that said "I rode the Sooper Dooper Looper." She was so proud of that!

Do they still have Karl Hausman playing the piano there? He was part of my very favorite band when I was in my 20's - The Kit Kats. If he's there, could you take a picture? I'd love to see what he looks like now!
