Trip to the Tomasello Winery & the Showboat Casino in NJ


My Ticket

Went to the Tomasello Winery for some wine tasting and for lunch which was followed by a trip to the Showboat Casino in AC, NJ with Crestwood Village IV on March 24, 2011. We left at 11:00 am and returned at 9:00 pm. I didn't have to break into my piggy bank. Ended up coming home with more money than I left home with. Not a whole bunch, just a little over $30.00. 

Never really touched the money in my wallet. Just used my coupon and matched the face value of it plus a wee bit more in my winnings for the day...

Of course, I took my camera along and snapped off some photos. Made them into storyboards. Below you'll see a set of 4 in color and an identical set in black and white. Did all of my photo work in Adobe Photoshop. No more darkroom for doing same plus I used a digital camera for taking the photos. Of course, I'm not in any of them because I was behind the camera... LOL

Now, the same photos in Black & White.

Why did I do that?
 For newspaper use.
Used to do the same when I had my own darkroom.
Now, I do it up on the computer.
A lot easier, that's for sure!

American Sewers Guild, Neighborhood Chapter

Seeing that there doesn't seem to be an American Sewing Guild Neighborhood Group in Manchester Township, NJ, am interested in starting one up here in Ocean County.

The only problem is finding other members of the Southern NJ chapter of ASG in Manchester Township which covers Manchester, Whiting and Pine Lake Park, with the zip codes of 08759 and 08757.  Also notices that there's none listed for neighboring Toms River, zip 08753, either, here in Ocean County, NJ.



If by any chance you are a member of ASG in this area, or know of other ASG members here, please contact me so we can start up a Neighborhood Group. Click here to send me an e-mail.
