It was in the 50's this morning and got up to the 60's today. Cool for Florida.
We both went onto Sally's class about politics - Terry in the "office" Marilyn on her I-Pad in the living room.
After lunch, Marilyn had a Zoom meeting of a committee for the North Shore - Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS that went a couple of hours.
We were supposed to Zoom with a group of friends tonight, but Terry was under the weather and we cancelled the Zoom.
That was our excitement for the day!
We were up early AGAIN so Terry could go to Rivers Medical. They prescribed an antibiotic which we will pick up at Walmart.
From there, we went to KeKe's for breakfast. Terry's treat! We have leftovers!
After lunch, we went back to River's Medicine for Terry to have more tests. We have to go back tomorrow morning, because they could not do a simple test on the same day as the other test.
Somehow Marilyn lost her car sunglasses and case. We don't know where they disappeared to. They may have fallen out of the car - we don't know.
From there we went to Dollar Tree and then Aldi. Since, we forgot to get one item at Dollar Tree, we went back, but they were out of the item.
After dinner, we went on Barry Bradford's program about 1975 (50 years ago). Very interesting program.
Happy Presidents Day. We are willing to celebrate a lot of presidents with one exception!!!!!
Terry got a call from River's Medical asking her to come in for another test on Wednesday morning, in addition to her appointment at 2:30 tomorrow. Are we having fun yet????
In the morning, Diane called and asked if we could substitute in her mahjongg game today- we said yes.
After lunch, we went to Diane's and met her friend Pat and played mahjongg. Pat did not win even one hand.
We both spent the morning going through our mail, paying bills, etc.
After lunch, we went on a Zoom with our friends Sara and Jan. It was pouring rain and the wind was furious, while we were on the Zoom. Terry was in the "office" and Marilyn was on the porch/lanai.
Dinner was the leftover ribs - yummy!
We were up and out fairly early for Terry to see Dr. Joel Garcia, the cardiologist. He wants her to do a stress test, just to be sure. She already has an appointment on Tuesday for an echo cardiogram. He's fairly confident that she's okay.
We came home and rested until we went for ribs at Oakwood Express.
We have leftovers and were in and out of the restaurant in about a half hour once we were seated.
After our pancake lunch (leftovers), we left for the beauty shop. We loved the sign that Vanessa had in her shop.
Terry sent a photo of the sign to Jessica via email.
We rested and then went to Lynnhaven Neighbors with Diane, Tom, Joyce, Karen, Barbara and Garrett. Everyone brought food and we brought chicken salad, crackers and candy. We had seen the entertainer before - the history of rock and roll. It's a high energy show.
We got home in time to tune into our Temple service. Just Cantor Frost, and Rabbi Goldstein were there. We don't know how many people were actually there, but 36 people were online.
Terry needed to take a fasting blood test at Rivers Medical, and by 7:30 we were there for her to give them some blood.
Giving blood took a few minutes, so we were off to FIRST WATCH for pancakes. Their grill was not working so no egg dishes were available. Terry took Marilyn to breakfast for all of her driving. We had our favorite pancakes again.
Marilyn's first meeting started at 10:30 Florida time, so we both had some time to rest.
Marilyn has a meeting with the IDFPR and then her REALTOR Board's Contracts Committee.
We went to Sam's Club for food for tomorrow night Lynnhaven Event, and it poured as we approached Sam's Club. Terry ran in and bought some chicken salad for tomorrow. The roll ups that we like were out of stock.
We went to hear a couple portray the Carters. We have heard them many times in the past and they always to a good job of portraying presidents and first ladies.
We left the house early for Terry's appointment with River's Medical Group. She was seen by the PA Justin. He wants her to have an echo cardiogram and a test for carotid arteries. She got a referral to a heart doctor (whom she will see on Saturday).
After lunch Terry went on a program about Odessa, Russia. Marilyn had signed up for it also, but was too busy preparing for some Zooms.
At 1 p.m. Marilyn went on a Zoom call with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. Marilyn's grateful that she did not go to D.C., as the weather may prevent people from getting back home. Our team was on the Zoom, and half of them had Covid - thanks to a fund-raiser they were all at in Evanston. I did not take a photo of those on the Zoom.
At 2 p.m. Marilyn went on the Zoom for the North Shore-Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS Past Presidents where we were made aware of the potential changes to our industry. Here's a screen shot of that Zoom.
Terry was out on the porch/lanai while Marilyn was on the second Zoom.
We will watch Jeopardy and do some reading.
Jessica had her surgery on her ACL and possibly MLC today and is home recovering.
Tomorrow Terry goes for fasting blood tests, so we will be up early again.
Terry spent a good part of the day doing laundry and preparing for our company.
After lunch, we went on a Barry Bradford presentation of 1950. We think we may have been the only ones on the Zoom that had been born before 1950!
We both sat on the recliners on the porch/lanai reading, checking emails, etc.
Ethel and Steve came over about 5:30 and we had drinks and cheese and crackers first.
Terry made a great dinner, starting with a salad, then chicken, rice, veggies, rolls, etc. Apple pie and gelato for dessert.
Another foggy start to the day, though it cleared up and was a nice day.
We cleaned (or Terry cleaned) again. I was going to swift and vacuum, but the vacuum fell apart and Terry used the swifter and used the big vacuum which is hard to push.
After lunch we went to Colony Plaza and Terry went into Peepers to see about getting her prescription put into some frames she had. They wanted big bucks to do that, so she decided against it.
Marilyn was in Beall's Outlet next door, and bought a few tops. Terry joined her and bought three tops.
After dinner, we watched Jeopardy and then went onto a Zoom with our cousins. Forgot to take a photo while we were on Zoom, here's a photo from last year when we did a Zoom.
Top: Terry, Marilyn, Harriet Bottom Linda, Julie
After lunch, we went to get our mail that had arrived yesterday.
We then went to see Barbara and Bernie Lindquist at the rehab where Barbara is recovering from surgery after breaking both knees. Below is a photo of Barbara (seated in the middle) and Bernie (right - standing). We forgot to take a photo while we were visiting.
After visiting with Barb and Bernie, we went to Walmart to pick up the groceries that we ordered
Terry's watching the news. Other than the weather, I have no interest in hearing what Trump has done next. Makes my stomach churn.
After dinner, of our leftovers from last night, we will be binge watching Jeopardy - from 7-11 p.m.
Spent the morning working on our computers. It started out foggy but turned into a nice day.
Terry ordered groceries to be picked up tomorrow at Walmart.
Diane and Tom picked us up and we went to Mt. Dora to go to the Ice House Theatre. Here's what we saw, a totally delightful afternoon.
by Michael Cooney
Eric Swan is a mild-mannered Londoner in a bit of a pickle – for two years, he has been diligently filing claims with Social Security, on behalf of his many…imaginary tenants – and cheerfully cashing the benefit checks. Suddenly, the welfare agents drop by to meet everyone in this very accident-prone household.
After the theater we went to Francesco's for dinner in Baylee's Plaza.
,
We spent most of the morning at our computers trying to catch up. I think we will never catch up!
We both did some laundry during the day and then finally left to run some errands.
Marilyn had a list of things she needed at Dollar Tree, so we started there.
Next was Goodwill, or as Sandy calls it - Willy's. Boutique. Terry got two pairs of jeans!
Then we had to go to Walmart to get Terry's prescription.
After dinner, we went on our Temple Shabbat Services, where the choir of kids also sang.
Shortly after breakfast, we both went onto our computers for the politics meeting with Sally. Marilyn was on the porch/lanai and Terry was in the "office."
After lunch, Terry got a call from River's Medical asking that she drop off the paperwork at their office, so we left for our dinner at Joyce's a little early so she could drop off the paperwork.
We had a lovely dinner at Joyce's, along with Diane and Tom, and Sandy and Ron. Terry took a great photo of the whole group (without her). Her dessert of a Napoleon was a big hit.
We had a nice day at home.
Marilyn went onto a Zoom with other Federal Political Coordinators from Illinois. Most of them are flying into D.C. next week. I'm going to Zoom with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky along with other members of my team, rather than fly to D.C. for a day and a half.
After dinner, Terry made a dessert to take to Joyce's tomorrow.
We watched Jeopardy and then Celebrity Jeopardy (again we did not know the celebrities).
Terry and I both got tracking numbers for our Premium Forwarded Packages. Any bets on when our packages will arrive?
That was our exciting day!
It was another foggy start to the day, but again it cleared up as the day went on.
At 11 a.m., we went on Arno Filerman's Funeral, which Cantor Frost conducted at BJBE. Terry dated Arno before she married Harry and he married Marcia. Two of his children spoke wonderfully about their father.
We had our leftover pancakes for lunch - yummy!
We then left the house to go to the Lady Lake Post Office to mail our valentines.
From there we went to the Dollar Tree on 441/27 near the post office and got a few things.
After Dollar Tree, we went to Beall's Outlet not far from there and Terry purchased two pairs of slacks. Marilyn found nothing.
We came home for dinner and then went onto Barry Bradford's program about 1925 (100 years ago). It was very interesting.
The morning started out foggy, but it turned into a nice day after all.
Terry got a telephone call this morning from Rivers Medical Group that they can see her next week! This is the group that our friend Diane uses and recommended.
There is a 12 page new patient form to fill out. She spent almost 2 hours filling it out and it is lost in cyberspace! So we went to their office to pick up a paper copy of the forms.
We then went to First Watch for pancakes. Marilyn got her usual chocolate pancakes and Terry got the carrot cake pancakes (we both have leftovers).
We came home to work on our computers and Terry did some laundry.
During dinner, we listened to Bagman, a podcast that Rachael Maddow did about Spiro Agnew.
Marilyn watched Jeopardy and then we found MSNBC and we both watched.
Stacy called and we talked with her for a little while. She will probably go to Wisconsin for Jessica's surgery.
We got an email from Temple to tell us that Rabbi Sherman will be leaving in June to go back to Boston, where they have family.
Happy Groundhog Day!
On Groundhog Day 2025, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter, a tradition celebrated for over a century
Terry declared today a pj's day! She's not sure that I qualify since I put on a fresh pair of pj's and washed the pair I wore last night as part of the laundry I did this morning.
We both opened our Premium Forwarded packages and it took some time to file everything away, pay bills, etc.
Answering emails, and working on our computers took up a good part of the day (we were both behind in the email department).
Reading took up part of the day as did napping. Are you thrilled to be reading this exciting tale????
We watched two minutes of the Grammy's and turned it off.
We both spent most of the day working on our computers (end of a month and beginning of a new month) trying to catch up.
In between we read and napped.
We finally dressed and left to go to Ethel and Steve's, stopping first to get our Premium Forwarded Mail, which we will open tomorrow.
We had a lovely evening at Ethel and Steve's - lots of good conversation and good food.
Just had word from our friend Jan's daughter that Jan (who had brain surgery on Thursday) will probably go home on Monday. Jan's already answering emails!
