About 11 a.m., we went to Chicagoland Ladies where we met Diane, Karen, and Gloria. The meeting was Trivia and our group sucked. One table got 60 correct - we were in the 30's (maybe 40's) I think.
Diane had secured the speaker and he was good. His name was Tom - did not catch his last name.
After dinner, we will go on our I-Pads to Barry Bradford's presentation about Howard Hughes.
Today, we substituted again in Diane's Monday game. This time at Dale's home in a Village in Marion County. Terry and I won most hands. Pat took one hand, Diane took two, and Dale did not take any.
After leaving mahjongg we went to Walmart in search of pączki.- donuts that people eat right before Ash Wednesday. They did not have any!
After dinner, we watched some ice skating from yesterday that we had recorded.
We also spoke with Ida and her biopsy did not happen. A disagreement between doctors about how best to proceed with her problem.
Our Temple had a meeting of those interested in helping immigrants and it was a well-attended meeting, via Zoom.
No, we did not watch the Super Bowl!
We read or worked at our desk(s) for a good part of the day.
Marilyn finished the Sisterhood Book Club Book - How To Read A Book.
A little after 5 p.m., Joy joined us for dinner. After a little mix up as to which Terry invited her for dinner.
Marilyn spent the morning opening mail from the box she received yesterday. Everything was sorted, and bills paid.
Marilyn watched the Jeopardy show she had recorded that we missed while at Lynnhaven last night.
We next went into our Family's Book Club with Mindy, Stacy and Ashley. The photo below shows the background behind Mindy and Stacy, at Stacy's home, and the background behind Ashley that had to do with the book theme. Terry and I did not put the background up. The book was Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murders. Marilyn was on her computer on the Lanai and Terry was on her laptop at her desk and then at the dining room table.
After lunch, we went to the local book store with our two copies of the book we just finished, and got a $9 credit. They did not have the March Sisterhood Book or the April Family Book Club Book.
As long as we were at Colony, we stopped in Beall's Outlet at Colony. Marilyn got some underpants and that was the big purchase for the day.
We went to Anthony's (they were having a 25% off sale) we bought nothing.
Terry went into Publix and Marilyn waited for her in the car.
We had recorded the Olympics Opening Ceremony and watched that, and then watched some figure skating that we had recorded.
We left the house after lunch to run to Costco where Marilyn put gas in the car, and Terry got chicken salad and croissants for tonight.
Hopefully, Marilyn recorded the Olympics Opening - we will watch it tomorrow.
Tonight, we went to Laurel Manor Rec. Center for Lynnhaven Neighbors.

Marilyn had a meeting of the IL Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, READ Board, which she attends on behalf of the school for whom she teaches.
We both went on the History and Politics Zoom with Sally. It was an interesting discussion of the Japanese Internment and current politics.

Terry was catching up on three days of newspapers while Marilyn was in her meetings.
After dinner of leftovers from our dinner last night, we both went on WRJ's The Making of Fiddler on the Roof. We both enjoyed the program.
Today was sunny, a little cool, and a little windy, but nothing like the past few days.
We stopped at the postal station for Terry to pick up a note and some checks sent by Mindy.
From there we went to the Post Office on Highway 301 to mail our valentines.
Terry made a good dinner for us and Ethel and Steve. She gave Ethel and Steve some leftover dessert which she made (apple dump cake).
