Cool/Windy Day

 After lunch we went to the Markets of Marion to get something that Terry had seen the last time we were there but did not buy.



We also stopped at Aldi to get some salad makings to last us for the next few days..



After dinner, we went on our Temple's Services.


Terry spoke with Diane to learn that Tom passed out on the bus to St.Augustine.  After a visit to the emergency room in Summerfield, they learned that he had double pneumonia and was hospitalized in Ocala.  He is better now, though very tired.   

We recorded Jeopardy and may watch that.

Cool - windy Day

 Terry took a photo of the flowers that Diane and Tom brought a week ago to show how well they lasted.  The two red roses bit the dust yesterday, but the rest is lovely.


After breakfast we went into Sally's class and forgot to take a photo.  Here's the photo from a few weeks ago.


Before dinner, we went on a Zoom with friends Sara Cohen and Jan Flapan.

After dinner and the news - and we watched Jeopardy.

Weather in the 60's Errands, Book Club

 We both worked in the morning and then after lunch, we left the house to run some errands.

Our first stop was the Hospital Resale Shoppe as Terry had some more plastic bags for them.  Of course, we had to look around and each bought some things.


Our next errand was to go to Publix and drop off some plastic bags there.



Then we were so close to Goodwill, we just had to stop in there.  Terry bought a top, Marilyn bought nothing.



After Jeopardy, we will go into our Sisterhood's Book Club to discuss We All Live Here.

Cool and Sunny Day - We Never Left the House

Happy St Patrick's Day

At 11:30, Marilyn went on the Temple Emanu-el Streicher Centers to hear Susan Morrison interviewed about her new book about Loren Michaels, the Producer of Saturday Night Live.  It was a very interesting interview.

We both have been working on our computers, making telephone calls, and WORKING.  


We also renewed our Northlight subscription for next year, in the new location in Evanston. 

We also ordered tickets for Patchouli, in April, in Lombard.  It will be a memorial service for Bruce who died last year (the same day that Julie's Dad died).

It's the fifth anniversary of our "adopted" sister, Betty's death.  We still miss her and especially her sense of humor.  Below is a photo of her and her sons.

Marty, Betty, Mitch

Tonight, after Jeopardy, we will go onto Barry Bradford's presentation of 1951.

Windy Day and Driving Ms. Terry

 We left the house after breakfast to go to a Dollar Tree on 466A (as the one we went to yesterday did not have what Terry wanted).




We then stopped at Aldi's for a few things.




We ate our leftover pizza for dinner - yum.

After dinner, Marilyn listened to the Skokie Board of Trustee's Meeting.

Rainy Night

We lazed around the house for most of the morning.

We then went to Karen's for her St. Patrick's Day Party.


We left Karen's and went to the postal station to drop a letter and then went to Dollar Tree.

We came home because it looked as if the heavens would open up.

During dinner and after Marilyn watched the Oscars.  Not that she knew any of the winners or had seen any of the movies.

Threat of Rain but No Rain

After breakfast, we went to Laurel Manor for a craft fair and both bought some jewelry.

We next went to Seabreeze and bought nothing - at another craft fair.

We decided not to go to the third craft fair at Rohan.

We came home to rest and read.

A little before 5:30, we picked up Joy to go to dinner at Francesco's for pizza.
