Beautiful Day and Rainy Night

 We went into Sally's class at 11:30, Terry at the office and Marilyn in the bedroom.


We had an interesting discussion about the war with Iran, and Illinois politics - most specifically the Senate race to replace Durbin, and the 9th Congressional to replace Jan Schakowsky.  We also discussed AIPAC and J Street.  We had no time to discuss the homework, which we will discuss next week.

After lunch, we went to Costco to get our contribution to Lynnhaven tomorrow night (turkey roll ups/chips) Terry went in while Marilyn waited.

 Next, we went to Publix and Terry ran in for some items.

After dinner, we will watch the news and then Jeopardy.  However Dish does not seem to be working.  It finally worked!!!.

Beautiful Day but we Never Left the House

 The landlady came by with the vacuum cleaner that Terry and she could not figure out how to clean out.  She had taken it home for Bernie to figure out.  He showed her and she showed Terry how to detach the part that accumulates the dust.


We listened to our "homework" for Sally's class, the final episode of Burn Order, about the Japanese Interment.

We then listened to Main Justice, with Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord.

After dinner, Marilyn went on a Temple Emanu--el Streicker Center interview with the writer  and star of a new play on Broadway - Giant.  John Lithgow plays Roald Dahl (the children's writer).  The play is about Dahl's antisemitism.


We have both spent a good part of the day catching up on e-mails, and readying our Sisterhood Book Club Book.

Warm Day

 After breakfast we went on a Zoom with two of our cousins (one cousin could not make it).  We talked with Linda and Julie until Terry called an end to the Zoom, as she wanted to go to a Farmer's Market/Craft Fair.  Did not have time to take a photo of the 4 of us.  We did set a date to play mahjongg when we get back.

The farmer's market/craft fair - was out in the open on a grassy area on Rolling Acres Road.




For lunch, we went to the Glenview Country Club and here is a photo  of the golf course from our table on the porch.



We went to a Dollar Tree for a few things and then came home and both napped as if we had been drugged.

After salad and crackers for dinner (we were still full from lunch) we went onto Barry Bradford's program about 1926 (100 years ago).

Pretty Day and Boring Day

 We both worked at our desks a good part of the morning.

Marilyn was finalizing our trip home - leaving Florida on March 25th and going to visit our cousin Jeff Glazer on 3/26.

We finally left the house after lunch and went to Beall's Outlet at Mulberry.  Terry bought some tops and Marilyn bought a pair of shoes.



After dinner Terry is watching the news - Marilyn cannot stand to see the orange man talk and is writing the blog instead.

The Daily Sun is Happy, Happy News.  We are at war with Iran and here's today's headline!

Reading and New Lease for 2027

 We both have been busy trying to read the next Sisterhood Book Club book.  It's a big book.  Marilyn has the hard copy book and will have to switch to e-book as the lighting is so bad.


Shirley, our landlady, came over with a new lease for 2027.  Terry gave her brownies to take home for her and Bernie.

Drizzling for part of the day

 We left the house after breakfast to go to the postal station and Terry was able to get Marilyn's box.

Lake Miona Recreation Center for a craft fair was our next stop and Terry bought a ring.



We next went to Beall's Outlet and Marilyn bought some things that she needs to try on.



Terry stopped into Publix for a few things while Marilyn was still in Beall's.

After lunch we each napped for a little while and Marilyn did laundry.

At 5:30 we went to Diane and Tom's for dinner.  Tom cooked the salmon on the grill and it was delicious, served with salad, rice and green beans, and home made sauce for the salmon. We took no photos!

After playing cards (Marilyn won) we had ice cream for dessert.

It was a great evening with friends of long standing.

Rainy Day

 It was an overcast day and we lazed around all day.

Terry looked at our outdoor porch and saw a box of  Mrs. Field's Cookies sitting out there.  They are from Mindy and Stacy as a recovery present after Marilyn's Mohs surgery, and they are yummy!  We've sampled a lot of them!!!



Marilyn went out for the newspaper and it was drizzling - she had her coat on!

We had a quick dinner and went to the postal station to try to get Marilyn's box, but the key would not work - we will go back again tomorrow.

 We then went to La Hacienda Recreation Center for Jukebox Bingo.

There were 10 of us and they allowed us to put two tables together.

In black, Kathy, Pat, Dick, Diane, Tom, Karen, Gloria, Terry, Marilyn, Jack

It was a fun evening and Marilyn had a bingo and won $25!
