Right before I left Allentown before Xmas, I decided to drive over to Bethlehem in the daylight to take some more pix. Unfortunately. my camera battery was already blinking . . . I managed two shots only! But at least I got these. The previous photos are on Dec. 9th. 

Bethlehem, PA - compare to previous shot uploaded on Dec. 9. This is the old Moravia church. 

Sylvia sitting on the arm of the chair with Lily under the throw . . you can see Lily's paw hanging down. 

Lily is under the throw . . . you can just see her face peaking out under the arm of the chair! Rufus knew she was there and he couldn't resist jumping on her. I was laughing so hard when I saw them.

Balcony off the master bedroom . . . 

View of my street . .  

View from my window at the Hotel Madera . . . Nice sunny Sunday with the Washington Cathedral in the background! 

Here's my room . .. this is a very cool little hotel in the Dupont Circle area . . 

Here's a view from my window on a cloudy Saturday . . 

Some typical architecture of this period town . . . unfortunately it is not so easy to see how interesting it is in this photo . .. you can barely tell that there are candles in each window. 

This really old house was restored . . . but if you look closely off to the left side, you can see a partially standing wall from the original much bigger house 

A long shot of the Moravia Church 

The Moravian Book Shop . . . sells lots of gift items in addition to books with a full selection of the famous star (Star of Bethlehem).

The Sun Inn . . . rumoured to have had many Revolutionary War participants sleeping there! But not George Washington?

Look! an old Woolworth Bldg

Looking down the hill . . 

Trying to get a shot of the horse-drawn carriage . . . and a truck drove by right at the moment I clicked. 

yes, there is a horse drawn carriage in this pic 

Three Pairs of Eyes starring right into the camera . . . 

Three out of Four . . . from the top, they are Sylvia, Rufus and Horatio . . .

It is back to Pennsylvania this week and for 10 days this time (with a weekend spent in Washington D.C.). This weekend was too short as I had appointments on Saturday, a refrigerator delivered Sunday, and a performance in the evening at our annual NTMEDA fund raiser. What a blast that was! Good food, good dancing and lots of fun having "bidding wars" at the silent auction. Now, I'm packing on Monday with a doctor's appointment this morning and a meeting with a financial planner in the early afternoon before I catch that flight back to Allentown (through Atlanta this time). Oh, the financial planner is to talk about the options for the ERO . . . not that I'm fiscally ready to really retire, but I have to make a "wise" decision. Then I'll have to be job-hunting in earnest come June 2005!

I have some more photos to post, of course, but that will have to wait because I have no time to do anything fun with my website and blog today!
