We both sat down to read for a minute before showering and dressing and the doorbell rang. Scared us - neither of us felt presentable enough to answer the door. Terry could see that someone dropped something off and left! It was an express package from the Township.
Our mother is rolling, make that spinning, in her grave. She always got up, showered and dressed. But as Terry says there were no computers or cell phones in those days - maybe she wouldn't have gotten dressed so quickly and would have checked her messages before showering and dressing. So that's our rationale and we are sticking to it.
We had a bite to eat and ran to the post office to send an express package back to the Township. Stopped at Chase Bank, Office Depot, and bought gas for $1.73 a gallon.
Also stopped at the postal station. My mail was there. And, true to her word, the mail lady left the box where Terry could reach it.
I'm surprised that my mail showed up because one of the new supervisors in Skokie is - wait for it - Lawrence, formerly from the Des Plaines Post Office!
It took me three calls, and being put on hold yesterday for over 40 minutes, to get a tracking number. This never happens in Skokie.
When I finally got someone to take a message for a supervisor to call me. I was told that a new supervisor would call me and that his name was Lawrence. I asked if he had been in Des Plaines and was told that he had been. I said "oh my God, I'm really screwed now I'll never get my mail." But, he did call back. I was driving so Terry took the call and told him who she was and everyone had a good laugh. She must have spoken to him at least 20 times over her lost packages.
We then went to a Murder Mystery/Dinner at 4:30 pm. Diane and Tom arranged for two tables. We sat with Karen, Tom, Gloria, and Lynn.
Karen's friend, Beverly, from Colorado Springs also joined us. Diane and Tom sat with their RV group.
It was a lot of fun and the food was pretty good.
Our table did not properly guess the killer.
