Another nice day and errands

 Our first stop was at the Post Office, on Hwy 301, where Marilyn mailed her corporate taxes, and bought stamps.




Next stop was Costco and Terry ran in and got chicken for dinner tomorrow night when Diane and Tom and Cheri will be here.



Next stop was at Publix, on 466, in Southern Trace, where Terry ran in to get a few things.




After dinner, we went to another Publix, in Spanish Springs, for a few more items.



We both did laundry - did we mention that the laundry is in the garage.

After a quick lunch, we went to Diane's to again substitute in her mahjongg game.  (photo is from the first time we substituted)

Warm Day - Change Clocks - Flea Market - Glenn and Jennifer

 It was another warm day - almost 90!

Our phones, computers, bedroom clocks, etc. all set themselves to the new time.  (SPRING AHEAD)

Marilyn changed the kitchen stove and microwave clocks.  

We left the house after breakfast and went over to the Markets of Marion and we were on an errand for our cousin Linda Portnoy.  We found what she was looking for - a mahjongg case.  (Marilyn bought one too).  We bought some other things too as gifts.  We also changed the clock in the car to the new time.



Top photo is the big bag and second photo is of the two bags for tiles.

We came home for lunch.  About 4:30 p.m., Glenn and his cousin Jennifer visited us.  We gave them drinks and cheese and crackers at the house, and we then took them to the Orange Blossom Country Club for dinner and they left to go to their AirBnB near Jennifer's sister-in-law from dinner.

Almost 90 degrees

 As we drove to Brandon, and the Cheesecake Factory to meet Elyse and Mark Smith, it was HOT.

We forgot to take a photo - we are so bad!


Here is a photo from a couple of years ago, with Katya  (Elyse and Mark's daughter) and Elyse seated, and Mark and Shelle standing. Shelle is Elyse's sister and she had been in town from St. Louis.

We stopped for gas and then stopped at a Dollar Tree on 466A, and then Aldi's for a few things.

Mindy and Terry were talking taxes for a good part of the evening.

Beautiful Day - Lynnhaven

 It was a beautiful day, but Marilyn was determined to finish the Sisterhood Book Club Book - mission accomplished!

We finally left the house after 5 p.m. to go to Laurel Manor  for Lynnhaven and Ken Block, a singer/comedian.  We brought turkey roll-ups, chips, and cookies.  Diane and Tom brought shrimp, Karen brought pizza, Gloria brought fruit, and Margaret brought deviled eggs.  It was a feast.


His wife was operating his visuals and it was a very pleasant evening.

At our table were Diane and Tom, Gloria, Karen, and Margaret.

Pat and Dick were at Kathy and Jack's table.
