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.

Nice day in the 70's and Errands

 We left the house fairly early and got to Plaza Cadillac to check out the car for our trip home and an oil change.


From there we went to the Hospital Resale Shoppe and each bought a red top and Marilyn bought a pumpkin colored one too.

We then recycled our newspapers at St. Tim's.

After lunch we headed to Russell Stover for a box of candy to take to a party on Sunday.



Terry and Mindy went over their corporate taxes, which Mindy then mailed.

Marilyn watched Jeopardy from yesterday, while Terry was busy paying bills at her desk.

We then went onto Temple Services on our I-Pads with ear buds on our recliners.

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.
