Another Beautiful Day and Family Leaves

THIS IS NO PURCHASE DAY - AN ECONOMIC BOYCOTT DAY! 

We redeemed our cards from Christmas.  First one is from Miranda, Second one is from Mindy.

We left the house about 12:30 to get them to the bus for the ride to the airport.  Good thing we left early as a number of the streets at Sumter Landing were closed off.  Marilyn kept saying this is ridiculous and they all were mocking her. The plan was to get them there by 1p.m. for the 1:15 p.m. bus!  We made it!!!

We came back to the house to do laundry.  Terry also cleaned and washed up the bathrooms and moved her stuff back to her bedroom while Marilyn moved her stuff back to her bedroom.

After dinner, we went onto our Temple's Services.  It was the service in the round and only Cantor Frost and Rabbi Sherman led the service, along with some musicians.

Miranda had showed us how to record a program, so  Marilyn recorded Jeopardy and we watched that after the services.

Got a text from Mindy that they safely landed and Miranda did not get ill as they did not experience the turbulence that they had on the way to Florida.

Nice Day with Family

 Beautiful day for our family to enjoy.

We had a delightful lox, bagel, cream cheese breakfast at home.

Then we left the house to show them the squares and walked around Brownwood.

While at Brownwood we sat on a bench waiting for Miranda while she made a stop at Dunkin.

We next went to lunch at Bonify Country Club.

We came home and rested before deciding what to do about dinner.  Diane and Tom stopped by with our tickets for a few events for next month.

As we were leaving to go to dinner, these two were visiting on a neighbor's lawn.  They are Sand Hill Cranes.

We went to Target and then Panera for a light dinner.  

Came home and watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, which Miranda had recorded.

Apple pie and ice cream topped off the day.

No photos of Miranda as I did not have her permission to include her photo.

, Family, Doctor, Eating, Shopping

 Terry and Marilyn left Mindy and Miranda sleeping and went to Rivers Medical to meet with Justin for a review of Terry's medical tests so far.  So far, she is fine!  Good News.  

We came back to the house and Mindy and Miranda got up and we all had a bite to eat and left the house to go shopping.

We started at the hospital resale shop where Terry got two tops. The rest of us were empty handed. We also donated some plastic bags to them, and Terry donated a pair of shoes. 

T.J. Max was calling to Miranda so that was the next stop, as well as Beall's Outlet (next door), we all were empty handed there too.

Next was Eaton's Beach for lunch.  Mindy and Terry took the obligatory photo in the big chair.

After lunch we went to Marie Rose and Terry and Miranda bought something.  Mindy and Marilyn were empty handed.

We came back to the house to rest and have dinner.  Terry made chicken, salad and rolls - excellent.

We watched Jeopardy and some are watching Survivor while Marilyn is typing this.

Family Visits

After breakfast, we went onto our Temple's Symposium.  Rabbi Goldstein's husband was the speaker.

 After lunch, we left the house to run some errands - Dollar Tree and Walmart for a prescription.  This is after doing multiple loads of laundry in preparation for our visitors.

We then drove to Winter Garden to Cindy and Pete Schroeder's house to pick up Mindy and Miranda, who went to Epcot for the day.

We stopped at a Walmart over in Winter Garden since we were early to pick the kids up.

We drove back and had intended to go to Oakwood for ribs.  However, since we had some groceries in the car, we went to the house first and then went out to Glenview Country Club for dinner and ate on the porch.

Rainy Day, Cleaning, Funeral and Mail

Today was a rainy day and we stayed in to do laundry and clean the house.

We both tried calling the Lady Lake Post Office to get Terry's package delivered.  Neither of us got through to them.

Ethel Kikoler stopped by to drop off a check.  They leave on Friday to go back to Chicago.  😒

At one o'clock we attended John Offenberg's Funeral virtually.  John was a great guy and the husband of our friend Barbara.  That was another Shiva that we contributed to even though we could not be there in person.  Rabbi Goldstein did the funeral and Rabbi Sherman sang the prayers (no Cantor was present).

Guess whose package was at the postal station with Marilyn's package!  Right, Terry's package.  Miracles of Miracles.

Mindy reported that they were on their flight to Orlando. They have landed! We pick them up tomorrow at Mindy's Friend Cindy's. home in Winter Garden.

Sunday in The Villages - Show Time

 After lunch, we left to go to the Gem and Mineral Show at Seabreeze Recreation Center.  We did not buy anything!

Most of the exhibitors had gems you could buy and make your own stuff.  Not our thing.

We then killed some time by going to Dollar Tree for some cards, then got some gas, and went to Willie's Boutique (Goodwill) and Marilyn got three tops - total $26.  A steal!

Kudo's to the Des Plaines Post Office.  This year wins them the most unusual prize.  Every year, we think they cannot top their incompetence, but every year they surprise us.  Today, Terry got a text and an email related to her tracking number - saying the package was going to be returned for insufficient address.  Calling the Lady Lake Post Office was useless so she tried the Supervisor Number at Des Plaines and wonder of wonder, someone answered and attempted to solve the problem.  She'll call Lady Lake, FL  Post Office tomorrow morning and see what the situation might be.

We next went to pick up our grocery order at Walmart.

Lazy Day

 We stayed in our jammies for a good part of the morning - finally got dressed but did not leave the house.

Terry is feeling better!!!

Some day ask about the key-lime pie we finished off!

Marilyn spent a good part of the day reading the next book club book, which she is enjoying. Remarkably Bright Creatures.
