Everything You Wanted to Know About Disney

 After breakfast, we dressed to attend the Chicagoland Ladies luncheon.  We each brought a salad.  Terry had made egg salad and I had made a fruit salad.

The group meets at Truman Recreation Center and the room was cold.  fortunately, we had brought jackets.


Mary Flynn was the speaker and she had worked for Disney and had a lot of interesting facts about Disney.

At our table was Diane, Joyce, Karen and Gloria.

There were high winds and the threat of a tornado.  We came home before the rain and listened to Channel 6, which had on-going reports by two women meteorologists.

After a dinner of left overs, we listened to Prosecuting Donald Trump, until Terry got bored.  I'll listen to the rest later. It was the appeal of the Presidential Immunity case and the arguments.

Tonight at 7:30 p.m., we will go on a Barry Bradford Zoom session.

Oh So Pretty

Terry and I spent the morning trying to figure out how to scan to her computer.  The scanner recognized my computer, but not hers.  She listened to YouTubes and even had someone from India on the telephone, but we still did not get it to work.

We finally scanned the document to my computer and I emailed it to her.

Had a nice call with friend Diane Falk.  She still doesn't know if she will come to Florida this year.

We had a late lunch and then went to the beauty shop and Vanessa did her magic.

We got back to the house in time to have dinner in front of my computer and listen to a Zoom talk about the Frick Museum, from a library in New York.

We have been reading and checking email since then.

Preparing for a storm tomorrow.  High winds!

Shopping for Tuesday

Today, after lunch, we left the house to go to a newer store in The Villages, Sprouts.  It's a little like Aldi's in that they don't bag your groceries.  We bought a few things for us for dinner for tonight and tomorrow.

But, we went to Publix for what we wanted for Tuesday and The Chicagoland Ladies, where we have to bring salads.

Terry wore the shirt that she got yesterday, for $1.  I think you will agree that it looks great on her.


I saw this cartoon on Facebook and feel that I can identify with it.

Lazy Morning

 After a rather lazy morning, working at our "desks" in the "office" we were ready to go out after lunch.




We headed to the Lady Lake Post Office to mail some mail.

From there we went to the Hospital Resale Shop.  Marilyn bought a pair of jeans and Terry got a cute blouse for $1 (since it did not have a size on it, it was on the $1 rack).

Terry went to Ulta, but will have to bring her old package to see what is similar as packaging has changed.

We went to the Dollar Tree over there and filled in some more stuff for the house.

The last stop was Winn Dixie for some fill-in groceries.

Terry made dinner and after dinner, we tried opening the champagne (from new year's eve) and finally got it open.  Of course, we had to have some.

Busy Day

 After lunch we went to The Markets of Marion and bought a few things for the house.  Friday is not a busy day at the flea market.  Terry was on a mission to get a plain pusher for her mahjongg set, one of them is broken.  However, no luck at the flea market.

As long as we were in the area we stopped at Marie Rose, we both tried on a few things, but came home empty handed.

Purchased some gas for $2.99 a gallon (lower priced than most of the stations  near us).

On to Walmart for Terry's prescriptions and some grocery shopping.

After grocery shopping, Terry declared that she was ON STRIKE and did not plan to cook dinner tonight.  We called Ethel and Steve and set a date to meet them at 5:30 at Thai Ruby, in Sumter Landing.

After dinner, we came home to watch Temple Services on our computers.  Terry in the "office" and Marilyn in the dining room.

After some hot tea and some peanuts we are planning to relax.

Politics and History

 After breakfast, working and doing laundry, we went online to Sally's Politics and History Class.  Terry went on her computer in the "office" and Marilyn was on her computer in the sunroom.

After lunch we went to Mulberry and another Beall's Outlet.  We both found a top and Terry found some sandals too

After dinner we are relaxing, reading the paper and checking emails.

Pretty toes and fingers

 Today, shortly after breakfast, we went off to Angela's Nails for manicures and pedicures.

After, we then walked down the block to Lil Bits for lunch.

We had been here for almost a week and had not been to Bealls Outlet or Anthony's!  So, that was our next stop.  Marilyn found a top at Bealls Outlet, but Terry was bag-less after visiting both stores.

Before dinner we listened to a part of Liz Chaney's book, OATH AND HONOR (homework for tomorrow morning's political  group).

During dinner, we listened to the podcast PROSECUTING DONALD TRUMP.  It is so interesting it is like going to law school.
