It got close to 90's today!
Terry and I both made our salads for tomorrow and Chicagoland Ladies.
After a quick lunch, we went to Diane's to again substitute in her mahjongg game. (photo is from the first time we substituted)
After mahjongg, Terry and Mindy were discussing taxes, and completed Marilyn's corporate return.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!.
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.
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).
