Cookie and Thrift Shoppe

 We left the house to return the cookies and one of the muffins from the bakery as they did not taste good.  There was a problem with one of the ingredients and we were not sure it was safe to eat.

Terry went in to return the cookies and said the lady there was lovely and gave her back Stacy and Mindy's money.

Since we were so close to the Ye Olde Thrift Shoppe, we stopped there. We each bought two tops.  We also ran into our friend Joy (who volunteers there).

We stopped at the Dollar Tree for a few things, including cards.

We then went home to eat our Thai leftovers from last night for lunch.

We left the house again around 5 p.m., thinking we'd go for pizza. 

They had a 40 minute wait and we decided to just stop for gas at Costco and go to Dollar Tree as Terry needed one more card.

Terry warmed up some chicken from Publix for dinner.

Great Day

 The weather was perfect and just after breakfast, and we were still in our pj's, when the doorbell rang.

Terry answered and it was a local bakery with cookies for Marilyn (recovery gift from Mindy and Stacy). The delivery person also brought two muffins because the delivery did not happen yesterday.  What a wonderful thing for the girls to do.

We had a quick lunch and got showered and dressed to go to The Sharon to see Three Tenors + Plus One.

Mr. Washington was ill and a local talent - Alex Spears -substituted and was excellent

Grant Norman is now gray and should get a new photo

We met Ethel and Steve there and went to Ruby Thai for dinner with them.

We then came home with just a few minutes before Temple Services, where Carol Berger was honored.

Carol Klein Alexander had already left the  Bima when they asked Carol Berger to stay on to sing Shehecheyanu

Another Beautiful Day and Busy Day

 Since the tape for the face pads the Dermatologist gave Marilyn were not self sticking, Marilyn ran to CVS to get tape, as the Amazon order did not come when expected.

Terry and Marilyn put the pad on Marilyn's face and did a not too good job.  But, underneath, it looks good.

At 11 a.m., we ran to Sumter Landing and the Lighthouse for lunch with Diane, Patti and Sherry (Patti's daughter), for a mini Kelvyn Park High School Reunion. We ordered shrimp that had to be pealed ,as an appetizer, as Patti and Sherry were delayed at the dentist.  Patti was in the dentist chair for two hours and because of shots could not feel well enough to eat. Sherry did order.  NO PHOTO - WE ARE SO BAD.

At 6 p.m., we were at Rohan Recreation Center to see a couple who does Presidents and First Ladies (we've seen them numerous times).  They were doing John and Abagail Adams this time.

Beautiful Day

 While we did not leave the house until after lunch, we enjoyed the sun and warmer temps.

Marilyn is recovering well, though appears to be bruised.  Tomorrow, Marilyn can take off the packing and put on a fresh covering.

Marilyn did not know that the new bandages that were given to her needed tape to work - good thing she called and asked the question.  The nurse, with whom she spoke, was surprised that no tape was in the bag with the bandages. Amazon is overnighting more bandages and tape.

Marilyn has been wearing a mask when out in public.  

We were out in public today when we went to Walmart.  Marilyn picked up antiseptic cream while Terry did grocery shopping.

After dinner, the news, and Jeopardy, Terry was on the telephone with Mindy, who read her mail to her.

We then both went on the Men of URJ's Zoom with Rabbi Rick Jacobs, the head of URJ (the reform movement).

Rick is so well spoken and addressed antisemitism, ICE, Israel, etc.

Mohs Surgery

 We were up and out of the house early to get to Mt. Dora for Marilyn to have Mohs Surgery. (9:30 A.M. appt).

Marilyn's blood pressure was 179 before the surgery - very nervous!!!!

They had to scrape twice and we left after noon.  

The prescription was called in later, so we postponed going to Walmart until tomorrow.  We stopped at CVS so Marilyn could get some Extra Strength Tylenol.  Marilyn put on a mask to go into CVS so people would not be forced to look at the bandage.

What we did not anticipate was how difficult the bandage made it to eat or drink, or blow Marilyn's nose.  It stays on until Thursday.

Marilyn's been icing it every hour (thanks to Terry and her setting her alarm).  Terry soaked some washcloths and put them into plastic bags and put them into the freezer.

We watched the news, Jeopardy, and then went into Barry Bradford's presentation about George Washington (the richest president).  Marilyn slept and missed the ending.

Mindy and Stacy called and they were concerned about Marilyn.  

Pedicures

 We both got pedicures at Angel's Nails this morning.

We walked over to Ll'L Bits for lunch and both have leftovers from our salads.

We came home to change shoes and then left the house again to go to recycle our newspapers at St. Timothy's.

From there we went to Belk's as Terry was looking for an inexpensive ring.  No luck.

Tonight, after Jeopardy, we went onto Zoom and our Sisterhood Book Club.  The book we will be discussing will be HOW TO READ A BOOK.

A Taste of Chicago

 We went to pick up Ethel, and off we went to Portillo's for beef sandwiches!  A taste of home!

Terry had a gift card for Portillo's - thanks to whomever bought it for the family grab bag at Christmas.  We got a parking space right in front of the entrance!

After driving to see Eastport (we did not walk it as it was very windy), we got back into The Villages we are familiar with and dropped Ethel off.

We stopped for gas and then came home for Terry to finish reading the book club book HOW TO READ A BOOK.  She is enjoying it and hopes to finish in time for tomorrow's discussion.
