Mohs Surgery

 We were up and out of the house early to get to Mt. Dora for Marilyn to have Mohs Surgery. (9:30 A.M. appt).

Marilyn's blood pressure was 179 before the surgery - very nervous!!!!

They had to scrape twice and we left after noon.  

The prescription was called in later, so we postponed going to Walmart until tomorrow.  We stopped at CVS so Marilyn could get some Extra Strength Tylenol.  Marilyn put on a mask to go into CVS so people would not be forced to look at the bandage.

What we did not anticipate was how difficult the bandage made it to eat or drink, or blow Marilyn's nose.  It stays on until Thursday.

Marilyn's been icing it every hour (thanks to Terry and her setting her alarm).  Terry soaked some washcloths and put them into plastic bags and put them into the freezer.

We watched the news, Jeopardy, and then went into Barry Bradford's presentation about George Washington (the richest president).  Marilyn slept and missed the ending.

Mindy and Stacy called and they were concerned about Marilyn.  

Pedicures

 We both got pedicures at Angel's Nails this morning.

We walked over to Ll'L Bits for lunch and both have leftovers from our salads.

We came home to change shoes and then left the house again to go to recycle our newspapers at St. Timothy's.

From there we went to Belk's as Terry was looking for an inexpensive ring.  No luck.

Tonight, after Jeopardy, we went onto Zoom and our Sisterhood Book Club.  The book we will be discussing will be HOW TO READ A BOOK.

A Taste of Chicago

 We went to pick up Ethel, and off we went to Portillo's for beef sandwiches!  A taste of home!

Terry had a gift card for Portillo's - thanks to whomever bought it for the family grab bag at Christmas.  We got a parking space right in front of the entrance!

After driving to see Eastport (we did not walk it as it was very windy), we got back into The Villages we are familiar with and dropped Ethel off.

We stopped for gas and then came home for Terry to finish reading the book club book HOW TO READ A BOOK.  She is enjoying it and hopes to finish in time for tomorrow's discussion.

Happy Valentine's Day

 Terry and Marilyn opened valentines from Mindy and Glenn and from each other.

Our valentines did not reach Mindy and Glenn.  They did reach Stacy and Mark.  Not sure about the kids.  We mailed them on 2/4 - first class mail from the POST OFFICE!

We left the house and headed down South to Eisenhower Rec. Center for a craft fair.  We bought a few things.  We ran into Ethel while there and she had been up since early morning to take Steve to the airport for his trip home for an infusion.

When we got home, we had to call Bernie (our landlord) since the TV was not working.  However, after an hour or so, the same problem arose.  We'll let him know again in the morning.

MahJongg and Temple

 After lunch, Diane and Ethel came over and we played mahjongg.  Terry and Marilyn did well and took some hands as did Ethel.  Unfortunately, Diane did not.

At 8p.m. our time, we went onto Temple Services.

Happy Lincoln's Birthday

 We had a busy day.  After breakfast, Terry went into Sally's History and Politics class on Zoom, and Marilyn went into the North Shore-Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS' Contracts Meeting.  After her meeting ended, Marilyn caught the very end of Sally's class.

After a quick lunch, we both went into Barry Bradford's Zoom presentation about Who Killed Kennedy for the Seaford Library.

We next went over to St. Tim's Catholic Church for a concert with Grant Norman and Other Broadway Stars.

Karen, who was singing in the choir, saved seats for our group in the fifth row center!  Ethel and Steve, Diane and Tom, and Gloria joined us.  It was a great concert.

Laura Hodos, David Chernault, Renee Lawless, Angie Rose, Eileen Fitting

Melissa Minyard, Brian Minyard, Maria Steinhilber, Grant Norman were all performers.

Thanks to Ethel for making a list of the performers.

Finale

From the concert, we all went to Chili's for dinner.  They had a three for that included soup or salad, a drink, and entrees and Tom and Diane got FREE chips and salsa for the table (as they are members). 

Zoom Day

 Before lunch, we went onto a Zoom with CJE about WWII in Poland and the Schindler Factory.  We expected to just see the factory.  However, now it is a museum dedicated to the War.

We then ran to Goodwill and Terry got some tops, and Marilyn bought a scarf!

After dinner, we had a Zoom with Ethel, Joan, and Arlene.

Marilyn was in her bedroom and Terry was in the living room.
