I just read that being lazy one day a week is good for your health. Well today was a healthy day.
We did not leave the house until 2:00 p.m.
We went to Belk's as Terry was on a mission to find closed-toed shoes that she can wear,without socks, on cooler days. She found two pair at Belk's and was undecided about which pair to buy so bought them both. May return one, or may not.
We both bought bras - how's that for excitement!!!! The bra Terry bought was on clearance - unfortunately, mine were on sale, but not on clearance.
It started to rain as we got back into the car, so we decided that other stores could wait.
Stopped at the Postal Station and my box was there. As promised, in a lower postal box, so no need for the Jolly Green Giant today.
I sorted my mail and we both did laundry and were reading.
Like at the end of cartoons.....That's all folks!!!!

Canasta Lessons
The morning started with working at our computers and then for me - a nap!
We had lunch and Arlene and Joan came over to try to teach us Canasta. They brought the electric shuffler they found at the house they are renting. We had the cards and the card holder.
Arlene and I were partners and Terry and Joan made mince-meat out of us. They even had a canasta of all wild cards!!!! We could not even go down on that hand!
After the girls left, Terry went to the Postal Station (two days without any mail for her). As she left, I had been speaking with my friend, Georgia. My call must have gone into the Bluetooth in the car and Terry was hearing the conversation, but I could not hear Georgia. I had to call her back when the car was out of the area. We were still on the telephone when Terry came back and the call went into Bluetooth again! Modern technology!!!!
For dinner, I had my leftover steak from Bonefish and Terry had a chicken breast. She also heated some little potatoes and carrots.
The evening was spent reading and answering emails.

Launch??? And Chico's Fashion Show
Terry and I had our leftover cheesecake (dessert from last night) for breakfast - yummy!!!!
We then went onto the Space Center's Website and hoped to see the shuttle go off. However, we saw nothing. We don't know if we were too late and the clock on their website was off or?????
At 10:30 a.m., we picked up Arlene and Joan to go to Katie Belle's to attend the Chico Fashion Show. We met Ethel there. Diane and Cheri were at another table (that was supposed to be next to us - but was not) Diane's friend Pat sat with us.
After the show, we went to Chico's. Ethel tried on a number of things and bought some things. Arlene bought one top and ordered an outfit. Terry and Joan were cold so they sat in the car and waited.
Terry had some coupons for four FREE Frostys from Wendy's so we went to Wendy's Drive Thru and ordered the Frostys. Joan did not want one. Terry and Arlene started eating theirs in the car. Terry did not finish hers. Mine went into the freezer as did Terry's partially eaten one, and Joan's. I finished mine shortly after coming home. Terry finished hers after dinner.
Our dinner was our left overs from lunch (salmon, pot roast, corn and mashed potatoes). It was very good.
We are reading, doing crossword puzzles (me) and working at our computers.

Mah Jongg and Bonefish
After breakfast, I ran over to Walmart to get my prescription. The 90 pills were in three different bottles!
Ethel dropped Steve off at the airport for his trip home for a few days to do taxes. She came here for lunch and then Arlene came over and we played mah jongg. Terry and I were hot, and Arlene and Ethel did not have one mah jongg. Joan arrived after 3 p.m. and played a few hands. She too had a mah jongg!
We left the house for a 5:30 reservation at Bonefish. Tuesday is always crowded as they have a special - salad, entree and dessert for the cost of the entree. I had a steak (I know it's a fish restaurant, but I had a taste for beef). Everyone else had fish.
Terry has her phone in her hand as they were going to text her when our table was ready. We were a little early and right on time they texted us and we were seated.

The door handle is a fish! Had to take a photo of that.
I'll have to check the doors in Skokie. There is a revolving door in Skokie.
We stopped at the Postal Station and Terry had some mail - color her semi-happy. Some mail still has not made it to her.

Launch Scratched
We had anticipated going outside to view a launch from Kennedy Space Center, at 9:49 a.m. However, it got scratched. It is supposed to happen tomorrow morning. Now the website says Wednesday at 9:06 a.m.
After breakfast, we both worked and I made some telephone calls.
After lunch, we finally left the house to run errands. We started at Sam's Club, and then Sam's Gas.
Next was Aldi's, however, they did not have everything Terry was looking for, so Publix was the last stop.
While Terry was in Aldi's I tendered my resignation to the Niles Township Food Pantry Foundation Board. I had planned to do that when I retired as the Supervisor, but the Foundation President asked me to stay. Since there is a new Supervisor and a new Trustee, it was time for my resignation to be accepted.
We checked the mailbox and there was some mail for Terry. Not everything that she was expecting has arrived. Supposedly, a box is also to be forwarded - we'll see. She's been in touch with the Des Plaines Post Office and learned that her mail comes into their facility and then goes back to the Distribution Center for forwarding.
We came home and had our left-over pizza for dinner and we spent the evening reading and checking Facebook, etc.

Melon Patch Theatre
We both were busy this morning and Terry made us a nice omelette for breakfast.
We had a quick lunch of peanut butter and jelly as we had to pick up Arlene and Joan by 12:45 p.m.
We went to Leesburg to the Melon Patch Theatre to see a comedy. Three of the actors played multiple parts and it was cute.
Terry had a taste for pizza so we went to Mom and Dad's and she and I had pizza. Arlene and Joan had Italian dishes, but not pizza. We have enough pizza left over for one or two meals.
We both spent a part of the evening on the telephone. I played catch up with my friend Marlene, in Skokie, and our friend Joy (in The Villages) and Diane (just arrived in Naples).
Terry was on the telephone with the Chairman of a Grammar School Reunion Committee from Peterson School, she's invited as a past PTA President. She also was working with Mindy at some point during the evening.

Scarface
Work in the morning and reading and naps in the afternoon.
I ran to the Postal Station to mail our mail. Was on the telephone for about a half hour in my car before coming back home-playing catch up with the new Supervisor of the Township.
We had a quick dinner and left to pick up Arlene and Joan to go to see a play at Mulberry Recreation Center - Scarface. Very talented cast and a funny show. Show is about Ben Hecht, reporter and screenwriter, who is writing the screen play for the movie Scarface. Al Capone is not too happy about the movie idea and sends his goons to stop it. Lots of twists and turns and laughs.
We came home to have some tea (Terry) and hot water (me) to warm up as it was cooler outside than we had prepared for.

Oh So Pretty
OH So Pretty - that's how we felt after leaving the beauty shop and Vanessa working her magic.
From the beauty shop we went to Walmart for Terry to pick up her prescriptions and for us to get a few items that we needed.
We came home to have left overs for lunch. We had wanted to sit outside, but the sun went away.
In fact, when I ran to the postal station there were some raindrops.
I was busy opening my box of mail and organizing and paying bills.
We had more left overs (from last night's dinner) for dinner and then had a quiet evening of reading, etc.

Mah Jongg and Ocala to Meet Friend
We were both busy this morning working at our computers.
After a quick lunch, Terry went over to Arlene and Joan's to help them remove a board in their table as they were hosting a mah jongg game at their home.
Diane was the fifth and we had a good game. Diane and Joan were hot and Terry and I each had at least one mah jongg, Arlene had none. It was a fun afternoon. Glad we were not playing for money.
We had to leave at 4 p.m. to drive to Ocala to meet Ethel Rudolph for dinner. We got caught at the railroad crossing just before Hwy 301, and there must have been over 100 cars to the train. Our GPS took us on back roads instead of I-75. We were a little late in getting to the restaurant, but called Ethel and she got a table and was waiting for us. Thank God for cell phones.
Of course, we forgot to take any photos of people today!!! Below is a photo of the restaurant from the Internet.

Friends of Long Standing
We both did some work and then headed out to run some errands.
By the time we had completed our errands we had no time to stop for lunch, as dinner had to get into the oven.
We got home and Terry put the pot roast and some veggies into the oven.
The table was set and we were ready, except we needed some ice cream and I ran to Publix to get some and to stop to get the mail.
A piece of Terry's junk mail from home made it here, other stuff she's waiting for has not found the mailbox here as yet. I think she'll be calling the Des Plaines Post Office again this year! 😩
At 6 p.m. Joyce, Diane, Tom and Cheri arrived. We had a nice evening and played cards after dinner.
After they left, Terry said - we forgot to take a photo. Shame on us!!!

Shirley Temple Black
We both got up early. I started answering student questions and Terry was on a mission to go to weigh in at WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers).
Our cleaning lady was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., so after answering student questions, I hurried to shower and dress before Lori and her crew arrived.
Terry was off to WW and to do some fill-in grocery shopping.
By the time Terry returned, Lori and the crew were gone. I sat in the sun room until they asked me to move back into the living room, so they could clean the sun room. Generally, I wait outside, but it was too cold to do that.
We had a late lunch and then did some work and rested before picking up Arlene and Joan to go to hear the portrayal of Shirley Temple Black, at Rohan Recreational Center. We met Ethel there. The program was very interesting. The presenter, JoAnn Peterson, was wearing a blouse and earrings that belonged to Shirley Temple Black that she had purchased at auctions.
Because the program started so early, we did not have time for dinner before leaving for the program. Terry made us some mac and cheese when we got home.
I was two days behind in reading the newspaper and doing the crossword puzzle, so I played catch up after our dinner

Fun Day with Long Ride
After breakfast, we left the house to drive to Brandon to meet our "sister" Betty's step children.
We met at the Red Lobster, in Brandon. It's a long ride for us and for them too, but it was fun seeing everyone. Elyse, Mark and Katya we see more frequently as they live in Cape Coral, but still it has been two years since we saw them. Shelle, who lives in St. Louis, we had not seen in a long time. It was a fun lunch.
After lunch, we went to Costco and loaded up the car with our purchases. There isn't a Costco near us so we loaded up. Even though we have a membership in Sam's Club, it is not the same.
Fortunately, I had brought down two insulated bags and we loaded one with the hot chickens and one with the cold foods. We also had a box with things that did not need an insulated bag.
When we got home, Terry cut up the chickens for our freezer and organized the groceries - some of the groceries for our dinner party on Wednesday night.
We got to rest for a few minutes before we had to pick up Arlene and Joan to go to Ethel and Steve's house. We had a yummy dinner at their house and I'm stuffed. Lots of laughs and good conversation.

Lazy Day
There was a threat of rain all day, but it never actually rained.
Terry had a burst of energy in the morning, paying bills, etc. Even cleaning the oven (bless her heart).
I, on the other hand, did reading most of the day - lazy bum that I am.
We were going to go to Art in the Park, but decided against it. We never buy anything there anyway!
Tomorrow is a busy day, so it won't hurt to have a lazy day - right????

Come Blow Your Horn
Busy morning as I went through yesterday's mail, paid bills, balanced checkbook, etc. etc. etc. Terry was doing some mending (she's so domestic).
We had a quick lunch and were off to pick up Arlene and Joan to go to see Come Blow Your Horn.
The play was cute. This is the second year that you sit at tables and can bring drinks and snacks. Some people brought an elaborate assortment of food and wine. We brought water and cookies!
After the play we went to dinner at Oakwood on Hwy 301 and all had a full slab of ribs. Yummy. We all have leftovers.
We discovered that Russell Stover's Outlet Store was open until 9 p.m., so we headed in that direction and purchased some candy.
Busy reading and catching up on blogs, emails, and Facebook.

Early Morning Telephone Call
My cell phone rang at 4:00 a.m. Florida Time (3 a.m. Chicago Time). I did not pick up as it was not a number in my directory and wasn't one of the kids. However, the caller left a voice message. It was a neighbor who was getting water in her unit. I texted her that I was in Florida. She texted back that it was coming from the unit above me and going down the whole tier. I, too, had water and the President of the Association tried to clean it up. However, when Ron (my wonderful handyman) went to look later in the day there was a good bit of damage. Waiting to hear if my upstairs neighbor has a claim number from her insurance company and if an adjuster is coming to assess the damage.
To say that I was a zoomie for most of the day is an understatement.
We got a VERY late start to our day and our first errand was to return a pair of slacks that Terry bought at Bealls. With the wonderful bargains she got yesterday, she had no need for full-priced slacks.
From Bealls, we went to the flip that Diane and Tom are doing. Cheri, their daughter, flew in from Chicago to help paint the villa as Diane's back has gone out. It's a nice unit in a crowded villa area near our friends Barb and Bernie, who have a large house in the area.
Our next stop was Barb and Bernie's for a delicious dinner, lots of laughs and catching up.
We came home and I opened my box from the post office - lots and lots of mail for just one week. It is all opened and somewhat sorted, the real work comes tomorrow.

Croak, Croak
We had a busy morning working and ordering tickets for a show in March (Grease) at the Savannah Center. We are missing that show at the Marriott and gave the kids our tickets.
We left the house at 11 a.m. to pick up Arlene and Joan to go for lunch at Eaton's Beach.
They told us they have another roommate, unpaid....a frog in Joan's toilet. Their neighbor got a bag and removed the frog.
At Eaton's Beach, the waitress informed us that there was no drinking water as the water was being repaired (we saw the large equipment at the corner when we parked). We all had to order a drink, where generally we only drink water. They made some extra money on the deal.
Here we are right above the water on the screened porch. Lunch was good and we enjoyed our meals. Sorry it's not a great photo, but it was taken into the sun by the waitness.
Terry took a photo of Joan and Arlene on the big chair as we were leaving. It was their first trip to Eaton's Beach.
We came home to use the washroom, as the washrooms at the restaurant were not working.
Shortly after, Terry and I went to Belks and Terry hit the jackpot with three cute pairs of slack for around $20 total.
I got a raincoat for $29 (original price $69). Also, Clinique gave me a sample eye liner and some foundation!
I also bought some earrings to go with a piece of jewelry that was our mother's. Terry bought some earrings for herself and another pair as a gift for a friend's birthday.
We came home to listen to the swearing in of the Chief Justice and the members of the Senate in connection with the impeachment of Trump. Again, we had wine and will need lots more wine to get through this time in history.

Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance
We both did some work this morning. Terry, in attempting to use her bank's app to deposit a check, learned that there is a dollar limit to what can be deposited via the app. Her check was over the limit. Who knew????
After breakfast, I went out into the backyard and sat and enjoyed the quiet and the birds.
Finally came in and made some telephone calls and had more work to do, but it is an easier pace here.
After lunch, we went to the post office so I could get something into the mail to IMRF (those nice people who are going to be sending me monthly checks - called a pension).
We went to get our pedicures - hence the maintenance reference. We both had men technicians do our pedicures.
We came home in time to watch the House of Representatives "Managers" send the Articles of Impeachment over to the Senate. Lots of Pomp and Circumstance as they walked from one side of the Capitol to the other to deliver the documents. Senate swears in everyone tomorrow, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
After watching the ceremony on TV, Terry and I had some wine and toasted our country in hopes that our country can survive this and be better for it. Only time will tell what impact this will have on our country.

Beautiful Day and Out Running Errands
Being old has its rewards. My friend Lynn Wendt, Illinois State President of Women's Council of REALTORS, posted today that I am one of the longest members of Women's Council of REALTORS in Illinois. Since 1974 - I'm officially an old REALTOR.
Terry and I headed out to First Watch for lunch. Pancakes were yummy.
We went to Marie Rose, where we each found something to buy. Marie Rose is a consignment shop.
We also went to Dollar Tree for a few items (including hangers)!!!
Terry got a text saying her eye glasses were ready and we headed to Colony and Peepers to pick them up. Of course, next door was Beall's Outlet. I found some perfect slacks and a top.
I still need some more sandals and will keep looking.
We went to Publix to replenish our larder and then came home for a great dinner of chicken with pasta alfredo!
Joan came over for the puzzle parts of the newspapers we had been saving for her.
When I changed from my sandals to my slippers, I found this on the sole of my foot - I''m sure I've not had this on my foot since birth.
We are listening to the Democrat Debates..

We went to Marie Rose, where we each found something to buy. Marie Rose is a consignment shop.
We also went to Dollar Tree for a few items (including hangers)!!!
Terry got a text saying her eye glasses were ready and we headed to Colony and Peepers to pick them up. Of course, next door was Beall's Outlet. I found some perfect slacks and a top.
I still need some more sandals and will keep looking.
We went to Publix to replenish our larder and then came home for a great dinner of chicken with pasta alfredo!
Joan came over for the puzzle parts of the newspapers we had been saving for her.
When I changed from my sandals to my slippers, I found this on the sole of my foot - I''m sure I've not had this on my foot since birth.

We are Up and we are Out!!!
We are both feeling better and are up and out!!!
We had a number of errands to do today.
We both had a lot of out-going mail, so stopped at the postal station first.
Then went to the Temple to recycle our newspapers. We had three bags of newspapers in this short time.
We went to Chase Bank so I could make a deposit - Mindy, I will work on doing it through the app, but the app disappeared off of my telephone.
We went to Beall's, as they had a buy one and get the second piece for only $1. I bought some under pants (try not to get too excited). Terry found a pair of slacks and a top and she was a happy camper.
We stopped at Goodwill to see if they had some laze-around-the-house clothes for Terry. She did find some things and again was a happy camper.
We came home and enjoyed the lovely weather by sitting outside. The lounge chairs are a challenge to get into and out of so I opted for a chair at the table.

We Left The House!!!!
We had a quick breakfast of oatmeal with banana - got dressed and left the house!
Our destination was The Markets of Marion (the flea market)!
Terry wanted clear lucite pushers for her mah jongg set and she found them there. She also purchased a cross-shoulder bag. She also has been on a mission to find lipstick holders that she liked and found them there.
I got a credit card case (the one I got at Stein-Mart was too bulky for my purse). I also got a pill holder that will hold all of my daily pills (some pills are too big for my current holders).
We both got clip-on sun glasses for our post-cataract surgery glasses!
We left the market a little tired, but it felt good to be up and out.
We had a simple lunch of cheese and crackers and a dinner of chicken and pasta with butter and parma cheese.
I think we are getting better.

A Lost Day
We both were not 100% this morning, so lazed around..
Terry got a burst of energy and worked at her computer, deposited checks using her bank's app, did laundry, etc.
I, on the other hand, napped and read, after answering student questions.
I had decided not to go to hear Lori Gill with Diane, Tom and Joyce. Terry was dressed and was going to go and then announced that her stomach was doing flip-flops, so she's home too.
We called Diane and she was able to offer the tickets to their neighbors!
We had an actual meal - mac and cheese and jello. We'll see how that goes.
We are hoping to leave the house tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Airports in Chicago closed. A friend is in Altantis and their flight home was cancelled. He's not too disappointed.

Remembering Our Mom and Feeling Punk
Today is the 18th anniversary of our mom's death. Feeling sad, but remembering her with fondness as she was a stellar mother and grandmother.
We had hoped to go to Temple tonight to say a prayer for her, but we are both feeling punk.
We think it was something we ate while in St. Petersburg, or a little flu. Not sure which. We've been eating toast, jello, tea/hot water and ginger ale.
I went to the mailbox and picked up my box (first box since I had them hold the mail on Dec. 21st).
A taller lady was kind enough to get my box out of the postal-station box, as it was in one of the upper boxes.
It was HEAVY!!!!
I've been going through the box and now have to file or respond to what's in there.
While out, I also stopped at Publix and got ginger ale and jello (that was our exciting evening meal).

Pollack.ShapiroCousins
Terry and I left the house before 10 a.m. to drive to St. Petersburg to meet our Pollack/Shapiro cousins.
The Pollack girls: Betty and Carol, and Betty's family, met us at The Brass Bowl in St. Petersburg.
We had not seen Carol since she was a young girl - shortly after confirmation, when they moved out of the Chicago area.
Fortunately, we see Betty and Bill every winter down in Florida, where they come for two months.
Last year, we saw Matthew and Natalie (who have since gotten married - a wedding we had to miss in December). Last year, we also saw Adam and Jacqueline (I may have spelled her name wrong). Adam was able to join us for lunch as he doesn't start a new job until Monday. Jacqueline was working at her volunteer job at a hospital and was unable to join us this year.

Betty and Carol's great grandmother and our grandfather were sister and brother.
We came back to The Villages and Terry went to take a nap. She woke up with a temperature and a scratchy throat. Hope she is feeling better soon.

We Get Lost (Misplaced)
After a quiet morning of reading, doing the crossword (Marilyn) and working, we had a bite of lunch and headed South.
That's South in The Villages, to return two items I purchased yesterday at Anthony's. While I was doing that Terry took her old glasses (pre-cataract surgery) back to Peepers to have new lens put into the frames.
After those errands were done, we decided to see where the Food Trucks were parked in the new area of The Villages, on the other side of the Turnpike. Our GPS had a little nervous breakdown and kept telling us to turn where there was no place to turn. We finally turned her off and went on instinct and found the trucks. There are two trucks (one with Mexican Food and one with some interesting foods). There was also a permanent building with a bar and that was jammed. There was live music and people were sitting outside listening. It was a little too cold for us to sit outside, but it looked interesting. We used the washroom and then headed toward Sumter Landing.
Terry had a taste for shrimp so we went to the Lighthouse for dinner. We each had the shrimp basket.
It was too cool to walk around the square and see who the vendors were for market night.
Terry is working at her computer and getting ready for a conference call with Mindy and their staff.

Sisterhood Friends Lunch
Terry and I had a busy morning, both working on various projects.
Then we dressed and left for Palmer Legends Golf Club for lunch with Sharon and David Silver, in town to have a family reunion. Arlene, Joan and Ethel also joined us (Steve was learning mah jongg at one of the recreation centers).
We had a nice lunch and visited for a number of hours before it was time to take Sharon and David back to her sister's home.
We forgot to take a photo - shame on us!!!
We then went to Anthony's (a ladies wear shop) and met Ethel there. We all did a little damage there.
From there we went down to Beall's Outlet and Terry and Ethel did not do as much damage as I did. I will be taking a few things back to Anthony's after trying them on at home.
We both have been on our computers since getting back home.
I just got notice of my FIRST PENSION check from the Township being deposited into my checking account!!! Yea me!!!!

Cadillac and Shopping
After getting up fairly early, and having breakfast, we left the house to go to Leesburg to Plaza Cadillac.
My CUE System was wonky and Foley Cadillac in Northbrook wanted $1400+ to fix it. After much research, I discovered that Cadillac knew it was wonky, but never issued a recall. There have been lawsuits, etc. over this system that controls the radio, heat, etc. etc. I had contacted the Executive Offices of Cadillac and they arranged for the CUE System to be replaced free of charge. We ran out of time in Chicago to have it done and it was done today FOR FREE in Florida.
After our trip to Cadillac, we both had a taste for bagels from the Brooklyn Bagel place - egg salad on a bagel. Messy but delicious.
While in the area, we did a Dollar Tree run (have to keep my stock up). Also hit Stein Mart and we both bought some pj's.
From there, we went to the main post office so I could purchase some stamps.
A trip to Publix, to fill in some things, and we headed home.
Terry made a good dinner of chicken with veggies (cleaning out the refrigerator) it was yummy.
Mindy sent a text that Terry's grandcat, Oliver, is not feeling so well. Hope he recovers soon.
I finished the crossword puzzle and read the whole newspaper. So nice to have the time to do that simple thing.

Bye Reva and Craft Fair
We are all up fairly early so we can have a little breakfast before Reva leaves for Boca.
Breakfast and conversation and then Reva is on her way.
The plant that Arlene and Joan brought is blooming. We are trying not to breathe on it so it will stay alive.
We do loads of laundry, have leftover salmon and corn casserole for lunch, and rest before getting ready to attack the Sumter Craft Fair.
We pick up Arlene and Joan and head to Sumter. I'm on a mission, and leave them as I try to find my "earring lady." But, alas, she's not exhibiting this year! Boo-hoo.
We meet up again and walk Sumter stores (as Arlene doesn't want to waste getting dressed and putting on make up)! Stores close at 5 p.m. and we head to the car and our respective homes.
We have our leftover Mexican dinner and spending the evening reading the newspaper and resting.

Reva's Visit Day Two
We had waffles for breakfast and sat and talked for a long time. It was around noon before we were all dressed and ready to leave the house.
We drove down to Brownwood to see the new things there and then over to Fenny for lunch at the Grill.
From there, we had intended to go to the Markets of Marion, but the traffic was so bad, we ran out of time.
Instead we stopped at Beall's Outlet so Terry could return something bought there.
We then went back to the house and napped.
We picked up Arlene and Joan and drove down to Spanish Springs so Reva could get a feel for the entertainment in the squares, but it was too cool to walk around the square.
We went to Ay Jalisco in Spanish Springs for a good meal and more conversation.
Afterward we went to Arlene and Joan's for key-lime pie and tea and more conversation.

BJBE South
We got up fairly early and Terry started preparations for our dinner for our BJBE Friends.
Our friend, Reva Felder, was on her way back to Boca after her visit with her sister in Valdosta, Georgia and stopped to visit us in The Villages.
She arrived in The Villages before noon and we went to The Glenview Country Club for lunch.
After lunch, we did a tour of the Historic Section, Spanish Springs Town Center, and then Sumter Landing before coming home and just sitting around and talking.
Arlene and Joan wandered over and shortly thereafter Ethel and Steve arrived.
We had cocktails and appetizers and then Terry served a wonderful dinner of salad, rolls, salmon, corn casserole, and veggie. Dessert was apple pie and ice cream. We are stuffed!

Shopping Day
Terry made us a yummy breakfast of eggs, mushrooms and sliced potatoes!
We left the house around noon (that's good for us).
Went to Goodwill to purchase some more matching drinking glasses. We should be fine now with plenty of glasses.
Rode by the house some people we follow on their RV Blog just purchased. Blog following is left over from the days when we saw ourselves as RVers in our retirement. Reality set in and we will not be RVing.
We were hungry so tried the Cody's up at Highway 42. We both had bottomless soup and salad. They were yummy and very inexpensive. We sat on their semi-enclosed patio and it was very nice.
Since we were at Mulberry, we HAD TO stop at Beall's Outlet over there. We both did a little damage.
We called Diane and Tom, thinking we would drop by the property they are going to be rehabbing and flipping, but they had just left the property.
We went to the hospital thrift shop and looked around for a scale for my bathroom. We didn't see one and were ready to leave when I asked if they had any scales. The sales lady said yes, they were displayed in the public washroom. A gentleman was just coming out of the washroom and we found two scales. Terry tried them both and said they were accurate and I bought the one for $2 (the other one was $5)!
Sam's Club was our next stop and we purchased some items for the dinner we are hosting tomorrow night. Thanks to the gift card we got when we became new members, our bill was reduced by $20!
Brought our groceries, etc. home and put them away before leaving for Publix to purchase things we did not need to be giant economy sized.
Finally got home and had leftover pork chop and steak, and a little champagne for dinner.
We are now resting.

New Year's Party at Diane and Tom's
Had a quiet morning.
Terry cut up veggies to take to Diane and Tom's annual New Year's Party (which was served along with hummus).
We got to Diane and Tom's a few minutes early and Tom got our box down off of the shelf for us.
Another fun party with a group of 16 people. In addition to our hosts there were Karen and Tom, Karen and Doug, Pat and Dick, Joanne and Jim, Claudia(?) and Jim, from Barrington, Nadine from Michigan, Joyce, Terry and me. We played the same game as in other years, where you move from table to table. Lots of great food, laughs and general fun. I ate too much and I'm sure a scale would prove it.
Came home and I unpacked the box. So nice to have our seat cushions!!! 😅😀😀😀😀
Mindy called to wish us a Happy New Year, and she and Terry talked business on the telephone on our way home.
