 SUNDAY:   Church was not too terribly crowded this morning.  After it was over, a few of us went to SUNNY'S for lunch.  Glenda, Vicky, Peggy and Becky and Chuck (I have forgotten their last name), who sit behind Glenda in church. Vicky and I each had a slice of pizza which was mediocre at best.  The sandwiches that Peggy, Chuck and Becky had looked good, and I will try one of them the next time. Glenda had the chicken fingers which she said were good.  She wanted to go to JoJo's for ice cream after lunch so Vicky and I joined her.  I had a hot fudge sundae with dairy free cherry ice cream, and it was very good.

It was, and I had a haircut for ten dollars, part of their FAKE Grand Reopening Special.  It is fake because they never closed and therefore, never re-opened.  Oh well! MONDAY June 1st.   Peg and I met up at FREEDOM for prayer at 9:45 a.m.  Andrea could not make it.  Then I went home.  I was still sitting on the couch wondering what I should do first when Joan arrived.  She suggested that we go to LaPorts for lunch first, so I agreed  I had the liver and onions and she had a breakfast.  When we got back to my house, she started working on the second flower bed. I worked in the famil...
