On The Road

Breakfast at hotel and on road by 9 am.

Yes, they had their cinnamon buns!

Rain on and off.  Glenn put Rain X on windshield and rain kind of wicks off!

Glenn drove until lunch at Legends near Smyrna Tennessee- I drove from lunch to Elizabethtown, KY

We registered at the Baymont Hotel and Glenn went to play frisbee golf and I rested and checked emails, etc.

We meet at 7 pm and walked over to Texas Outlaw.  One day ahead of Ethel and Steve.

Glenn and his beer and ribs!  Happy!

Terry said OHare shut down because of tornados in area.  Hope Arlene and Joan get home tonight as planned.  Glad Terry did not wait until today to fly.

Terry in pain and will see her doctor on Friday.

Shows rain on way home but too warm for ice...hopefully!

Terry Home/Marilyn In Atlanta

Got up early and laundered our linens and towels.

Made a lunch for both of us.

Made coffee and cleaned out refrigerator.  Three garbage bags.  Just missed garbage men.

Left a little before 9.  So hard to leave Terry behind.  We hugged and hugged!

She had a van pick her up.  Wheel chair at airport.  Did not have to take shoes off because of age!

It was an easy ride to Atlanta.  A little rain just outside of Atlanta.  Glenn already at hotel. Holiday Inn Express Norcross.  So glad to see him.

He took car to play frisbee golf and I rested.

Texted with Terry while she was on the plane and called Stacy for her as she could not text her.

Terry's home.  Stacy took her for groceries.

Glenn and I had dinner at an oriental buffet, we are stuffed.

I'm getting ready for a Township meeting at 8:30 Atlanta time.

Praying

More packing.  Trying to leave some room for Glenn's luggage.

Visited ER again!

Terry got another pain shot and prescription for a muscle relaxant!

We just need to get her medicated sufficiently to get home.

I leave before her to meet Glenn in Atlanta.

Since we haven't seen any of the movies, not watching the Academy Awards.  I know our friend Ida is watching.

Friends Arlene and Joan are both feeling punk with upper respiratory complaints.  They fly out on Tuesday.

Diane and Tom called to say they had stopped by to say good-bye.  We were at the ER!

Just heard that one of our favorite Sachsel cousins, Annette, had a major stroke.

Her "niece" is driving back from Arizona with her husband.  They were scheduled to leave next week.  We are praying for Annette's recovery.

Landlord is NOT selling and we can have Jan and Feb next year.

Making Travel Plans

Packing and more packing!

Car is somewhat packed.  Terry is taking her big suitcase with.  All the rest I'll take.  Will try to save some space in the car for Glenn.

We will finish tomorrow and last minute stuffMonday.

We were supposed to go to hear Patchouli and then dinner with the BJBE group, but too much to do.  Also, it would be too much for Terry.

Diane, Tom, Gloria, Lynn, Joyce and Sandy went to hear Patchouli and loved them.

This morning, we made flight reservations for Terry.  Car will pick her up to take her to the airport.  Flying first class!

Made hotel reservation near where Glenn will return his car.

Spent a good part of the evening cancelling hotel reservations and making new ones.

Had to do mapquests too.  Even with GPS, I like to have a mapquest.

First time we have left early and not doing the cleaning.  Caretaker said she'd clean - bless her heart.

A Lost Day

Friday's blog- first time I forgot to write!

To our loyal followers, I apologize.

I went to Walmart and got Terry's three prescriptions.  She seems to be doing better.

I also went to Chase Bank and those nice people gave me money.

Went to the post office to mail some things.

Went to postal station and our mail was there.

We have not had to call either post office once.

We just sat and read for the balance of the day.  Tried to nap too.  We were both pretty exhausted from the night before.

Terry went into the den to watch Shark Tank and a 20/20 follow up.

I had it on the TV too but I fell asleep and it was after 1 am when I woke up and went to bed.

911

Up early to work and do some laundry.

Took Terry to Weight Watchers, she was up a touch.

Breakfast of eggs Benedict at the Hacienda Country Club.  We sat inside overlooking the golf course.  It had rained and was cool, not too many people on the course.

Went over to Dollar Tree for a few items and had planned some other errands, but it started to rain.  Wimps that we are,

We headed home.

Clem came by to fix the lawn sprinkler.

Carol and Harry (our friend Fran's sister and brother-in-law) arrived. We had some appetizers and then went to Ethel's(their cousin). 

Found out that is Carol's birthday and tomorrow will be Ethel's birthday.  Decided to go to Belle Glade Country Club for dinner.  Seems that Fred, a friend of Ethel's owns the restaurant and he picked up the tab!

Birthday girls.

The rest of us.  Carol, Terry, Ethel, Harry and me.

Came home and Terry came out of the washroom in pain and barely able to put weight on her left leg.  She felt like it was broken or she had a blood clot.

I called 911 and three burley young men got her on a gurney and off to The Villages Emergecy Room.

It is crowded and I'm writing this as we wait.

X-ray and ultra sound.  Nothing broken, no blood clot. Siatica?  Administered 3 shots!

2:00 am - home

Rainy Day

We decided to go into Ocala to the Appleton Museum.

They had an exhibit on Frida Kahlo, through the lens of Nickolas Muray.  Turns out he was one of her lovers.

He also photographed her with her husband, the artist Diego Rivera.

The photos were wonderful.  She had given him some gifts of her work and copies of those were included.

This was between the parking lot and the museum entrance.

As you walked into the museum, this was front and center.

On the way back to The Villages, I found navy shoes.  This may not seem news worthy to you but I've been on a quest for a number of years.  

I found navy sandals AND navy flats this season!

We looked for the restaurant that the owners of  Lopez and Havana Country Club were to have opened  years ago.

We could not find it.  Found out they never opened, even though the name and address were on Terry's membership card.  We went to Lopez Country Club instead.  Wonderful lunch at one of our favorite places.

Came home and I went into a two-hour conference call for the Contracts Committee of my Realtor Board.

After dinner (I cooked again), Terry and I both listened in on a conference call with the Women of Reform Judaism.

The call addressed WRJ's approach for advocating for issues of concern with the new administration in Washington.

Terry reports that she is feeling some better.
