Day Three HOME

 We left the La Quinta Inn, Elizabethtown, KY, at 8 a.m.  Early for us.

We did potty stops, and McDonalds for lunch (Terry wanted a hamburger).

We thought we'd get an afternoon snack at another McDonalds (sundaes), but alas the sign said "coming soon."  We probably didn't need the calories any how.

We had smooth sailing and were going about 70 MPH most of the way.  We got to Terry's house about 2 P.M., and Marilyn got home about 2:30 P.M. and a neighbor helped her get her suitcases and the cart filled with stuff upstairs.

After getting everything into our houses, we both went to Mariano's for some groceries and ran into each other there.  Marilyn also stopped at the Skokie Post Office to get her mail that was being held.  Marilyn told the counter person (Diamond) that they had done an excellent job, unlike Des Plaines.  Terry will visit with Des Plaines Post Office tomorrow!

On the Way Home Day Two

When Terry went to take a shower, the water would not turn on, and all she got sentiment.  They had turned off the water!!!!  The toilet worked and the sink worked.  She was not pleased and they gave us a 50% discount on the room.

We had a nice breakfast at the Hyatt Place, in Smyrna, GA, and then left the hotel at 8:00 a.m.!

We had stops for potty breaks and gas.

We had lunch at a Cracker Barrel and then stopped at another Cracker Barrel down the road so Terry could get a gift for a neighbor.

We had no traffic jam at I-75 and I-24!

It was a day of clear sailing and nice weather.

We checked into LaQuinta Inn, Elizabethtown, KY and then went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays.  Had to check out the gift shop at another Cracker Barrel after dinner.

At 8 p.m., we will go on Sisterhood's Book Club.  The book Remarkably Bright Creatures was one that we both enjoyed.

On the Way Home

 We left the house in The Villages at 8:30 a.m., and it was in the 80's

About an hour out of The Villages, it started to pour and Terry read that there was a tornado warning until 3 p.m.

We drove past that area and it was sunny the rest of the way.

We stopped at Love's for gas and lunch there at Hardees.

The traffic was slow in some spots, but for the most part we sailed along.

We got to the hotel about 4:30 p.m., and went over to Carrabba's  for dinner.

We are at the Hyatt Place in Smyrna, GA and resting and watching HGTV.

Beautiful Day, though windy

 It was another beautiful day, though windy.

We finished our packing, except for our hotel bags, computers, etc. which go onto the back seat.

After lunch, we went to the hospital re-sell shop and Terry donated three tops, and the plastic bags we had accumulated.

We came back to the house and backed the car up in the driveway and loaded everything that needed to go into the "trunk." The garage is too narrow to take our suitcases along the sides when the car is in the garage.

We finished everything in the freezer and tomorrow will finish and/or toss everything left in the refrigerator.  The garbage goes out to the curb on Monday evenings, for Tuesday morning pick up.  So, the landlords will have to get rid of the garbage that we leave.

We watched Jeopardy which was a rerun, but new to us.

  

Another Beautiful Day - Beauty Shop and Irish Program

 It was a beautiful day - we are soaking it in!

We went to see Vanessa, our beautician, who made us "beautiful!"

We went home to change clothes and meet the group at Laurel Manor.   It was the Lynn Haven Neighbors.  Everyone brought food - it was a lot of food.

Barbara and Garrett

Mary Something, Friend of Karen's, and Karen

Entertainer - Irish, but we don't remember his name

Another Beautiful Day, Meetings for Marilyn and Concert

 Marilyn had a day full of meetings.  It started with IDFPR (our licensing agency), which got a late start as they were waiting to have a quorum.  Marilyn attends the meeting remotely, and reports on it for the school for whom she teaches.

Next was the Contracts Committee of the North Shore Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS.

Terry was busy working at her desk for most of the day.

Terry made us lunch and we watched Nancy Levy's funeral.  Nancy was the wife of Chuck Levy, who was the Township Clerk while Marilyn was the Supervisor.

Finally, we went to St. Tim's Catholic Church and heard a marvelous concert. Most of the singers had been performers on Broadway.  Bill Dougherty was the accompanist.

A Beautiful Day and Some Shopping and Packing Up

 After breakfast, we ran over to the Hospital Thrift Shoppe and Terry again found two tops for $1 each!

We then went to Sam's Club to get something for Friday night, when we are going to Lynnhaven Neighbors.  This time they had roll ups, so we will be bringing those.

When we got back we packed up the box that we leave at Diane and Tom's.

At 3:30 we watched Jeopardy.

We had our ribs for dinner - yummy!!!

We are set to watch Jeopardy at 7 p.m. and again at 9 p.m.
