Cool Day and Stitches Out

 We left the house early to go to Mt. Dora to have Marilyn's stitches removed after Mohs Surgery.


We stopped at the Hospital Resale Shoppe on the way back and each bought one item.  Terry also dropped off some more plastic bags.

It was lunch time and we decided to go to the Brooklyn Bagel Shop and get egg salad sandwiches. We both have half of our sandwich left over.


We came home to rest, do laundry, and listen to our "homework" for Thursday's class with Sally.

At 7 p.m., we turned on Jeopardy.

At 7:30 p.m., we went into Barry Bradford's Zoom on What Just Happened this Month.

Cool Day and Oh So Pretty

 After lunch, we left to go see Vanessa to work her magic on our hair!

On the way home we stopped at Aldi and Terry got the rest of the things on her list.

We are watching the news and will be watching Jeopardy.


To everyone in Mexico, especially Puerta Vallarta, -be safe.

Rain in the morning and then a nice overcast day

 We did not leave the house until after noon to go to a Craft Fair and Gem Show at Seabreeze. Recreation Center.  We both bought earrings.  We stopped at the postal station so we could put Marilyn's ballot into the mail.

Marilyn has had a taste for pizza and we went for a late lunch for pizza, in Southern Trace Shopping Center.   They had a lunch special and we both got individual pizza.  The sausage was different but plentiful.  We both have leftovers.



Terry went into Publix for a few things - Marilyn waited in the car.

Mindy and Glenn went to our apartments to check things out and report all is fine.

They sent Terry her ballot via priority mail,  so she should be able to vote soon.

Cookie and Thrift Shoppe

 We left the house to return the cookies and one of the muffins from the bakery as they did not taste good.  There was a problem with one of the ingredients and we were not sure it was safe to eat.


Terry went in to return the cookies and said the lady there was lovely and gave her back Stacy and Mindy's money.

Since we were so close to the Ye Olde Thrift Shoppe, we stopped there. We each bought two tops.  We also ran into our friend Joy (who volunteers there).



We stopped at the Dollar Tree for a few things, including cards.

We then went home to eat our Thai leftovers from last night for lunch.

We left the house again around 5 p.m., thinking we'd go for pizza. 

They had a 40 minute wait and we decided to just stop for gas at Costco and go to Dollar Tree as Terry needed one more card.

Terry warmed up some chicken from Publix for dinner.

Great Day

 The weather was perfect and just after breakfast, and we were still in our pj's, when the doorbell rang.

Terry answered and it was a local bakery with cookies for Marilyn (recovery gift from Mindy and Stacy). The delivery person also brought two muffins because the delivery did not happen yesterday.  What a wonderful thing for the girls to do.




We had a quick lunch and got showered and dressed to go to The Sharon to see Three Tenors + Plus One.


Mr. Washington was ill and a local talent - Alex Spears -substituted and was excellent

Grant Norman is now gray and should get a new photo

We met Ethel and Steve there and went to Ruby Thai for dinner with them.

We then came home with just a few minutes before Temple Services, where Carol Berger was honored.


Carol Klein Alexander had already left the  Bima when they asked Carol Berger to stay on to sing Shehecheyanu

Another Beautiful Day and Busy Day

 Since the tape for the face pads the Dermatologist gave Marilyn were not self sticking, Marilyn ran to CVS to get tape, as the Amazon order did not come when expected.

Terry and Marilyn put the pad on Marilyn's face and did a not too good job.  But, underneath, it looks good.

At 11 a.m., we ran to Sumter Landing and the Lighthouse for lunch with Diane, Patti and Sherry (Patti's daughter), for a mini Kelvyn Park High School Reunion. We ordered shrimp that had to be pealed ,as an appetizer, as Patti and Sherry were delayed at the dentist.  Patti was in the dentist chair for two hours and because of shots could not feel well enough to eat. Sherry did order.  NO PHOTO - WE ARE SO BAD.

At 6 p.m., we were at Rohan Recreation Center to see a couple who does Presidents and First Ladies (we've seen them numerous times).  They were doing John and Abagail Adams this time.

Beautiful Day

 While we did not leave the house until after lunch, we enjoyed the sun and warmer temps.

Marilyn is recovering well, though appears to be bruised.  Tomorrow, Marilyn can take off the packing and put on a fresh covering.

Marilyn did not know that the new bandages that were given to her needed tape to work - good thing she called and asked the question.  The nurse, with whom she spoke, was surprised that no tape was in the bag with the bandages. Amazon is overnighting more bandages and tape.

Marilyn has been wearing a mask when out in public.  

We were out in public today when we went to Walmart.  Marilyn picked up antiseptic cream while Terry did grocery shopping.

After dinner, the news, and Jeopardy, Terry was on the telephone with Mindy, who read her mail to her.

We then both went on the Men of URJ's Zoom with Rabbi Rick Jacobs, the head of URJ (the reform movement).


Rick is so well spoken and addressed antisemitism, ICE, Israel, etc.
