Old Friends

Another morning of getting up early to work.  Lots of students requiring my help.

Took Terry to Weight Watchers, she was happy when she came out!  She stayed the same.

Went to First Watch for yummy pancakes.  Terry had another $2 off coupon!

Came home and Terry cleaned and cooked!  She did not want, or need, my help!  Let's hear it for her - I'm a lucky gal to room with her.

I had a safety committee meeting for my Realtor Board that I called in to.

Barb and Bernie arrived at 5 pm.  We had our champagne and appetizers in the sun room.

Moved into the dining room for a lovely dinner of salad, chicken roll ups, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls.  Dessert was a key-lime pie.

Conversation just flowed and soon it was time for them to leave so Barb could get up for work.

Chico's

After working - lots of new students for online classes.

Guess the promotions the school ran did the trick.

Also did 3 loads of laundry before dressing for lunch and the Chico fashion show at Katie Belles.

We picked up Arlene and Joan and met Ethel there.

Lunch was good - a nice salad to start.

Lunch itself was a piece of salmon and two pieces of pork, new potatoes and veggies.  We both brought home the pork for dinner.

The downside was that the music was so loud it was painful.  I tore up a napkin and put it into my ears.

Went to the ladies room and was gone from the table for 10 minutes and missed half of the fashion show. The show hadn't even started when I left.  It was the most lame show!

In other years it was a more extensive show and they gave out goodie bags and discount coupons.  Nada!  We did stop in Chico's and Ethel and I each bought something-used my $25 gift card.  Will try the top on tomorrow.

We dropped off Arlene and Joan, dropped off our food.  Headed to the post office with our valentines.

Terry was the only one in our group not wearing Chico's to lunch!

So.... we stopped at the consignment shop again, but nothing worked for her.

We decided to go into Belleview to see about shoes - a sale was on and we each got a pair of white sandals.

Last stop was Publix for dinner tomorrow night when Barb and Bernie will be here for dinner.

Dinner, more work and reading rounded off the day.

DooWop

Worked all morning until it was time to leave to run errands (post office and Chase Bank).

Then headed over to Joyce's for a yummy lunch and to play mah Jong.

Terry was HOT.  She made mah Jong more than the rest of us.

Came home to a quick dinner.  Finished off the eclair that I had brought home yesterday from Perkins.  We got 4 pieces out of it!

Picked up Arlene and Joan to go to the Sharon to see The DooWop Project.

If you liked the play Jersey Boys you would have loved them.  It was a great program and high energy.

Good To Laugh

Worked most of the morning.

Wrote Speaker of the House Ryan telling him what I thought of him and the Trump administration!

Had a quick lunch and picked up Arlene and Joan to go to the Ice House Theatre, in Mt Dora.

Funny play.  Felt good to laugh!

Did not stay in Mt Dora for dinner as it was their big art fair weekend.

Stopped at Perkins-good food and no TV's with the Super Bowl on.

Brought dessert home.

Terry took this photo outside of Perkins.  

Watching Commercials on Super Bowl.

Tampa

Got up early to do some work before heading down to Tampa to meet Elyse and family at Jason's Deli.

Forgot to take a photo of Elyse, Mark and Katya.

So you'll have to settle for one of Katya's photos from her modeling portfolio.

After lunch, our plan was to go to Costco which was on the way home.  

What we did not know was that their grand opening is February 8th!  We could have camped out in their parking lot for four days, but that seemed unwise.

After exiting the highway, we went to Stover's candy.  Chocolate covered almond supply running low!

Last stop was Publix for a few things.

Another quiet night of reading.

Photo of cousin, who had heart attack while on mountain in Colorado, shows him making good progress.  Glad his wife is keeping us posted, via Facebook, once or twice a day.

Just got word that the son of a Temple friend has died.  A young man with 4 young children. 

His Mom died a few years ago and his Dad is still coming to terms with that loss.  Our hearts are with their family.

Baubles

Picked up Arlene, Joan got an appointment for a hair cut, so she stayed home.

First stop was a craft fair.

We all bought earrings and necklaces that are crocheted.

Stopped for lunch - egg salad on bagels. Too warm to sit outside.

Stopped into the hospital resale shop so Arlene could look around.

Arlene had heard about another resale shop - New To You.  We found it thanks to GPS and an U turn or two.  Terry and Arlene got earrings there too.  I caught up with the Township while waiting for them.

Both of us had mail today, so opening mail was the first order of business when we got home.

Terry is doing laundry and we are both reading and relaxing.

Glorious Day

We wanted to enjoy the weather so spent most of the day outside.

We started with lunch at Gator Joe's.  Don't ask the name of the city- I cannot pronounce it, much less spell it!

Waiting for our fried shrimp baskets!

The beach below.

Stopped in the Ladies' Room- stall doors are lovely.

Diane told us that a Goodwill opened near Walmart.  Well okay - we had to check it out!

Mardi Gras at Spanish Springs.

We wore our beads but not our masks.

Listened to the Dixieland Jazz group and then the Jazz Band.

Came home to do laundry, eat dinner and read.
