SUNDAY:   I slept fairly well last night, and got up to the news that Senator Lindsey Graham passed away last evening, after a brief illness. MEET THE PRESS seems to be devoting their whole hour to this issue.  President Trump is on the phone LIVE with the hostess, Kristen________.  He is speaking so presidentially, not at all rambling like he is prone to do.  Church was good and then eight of us went to Wendy's for lunch.  Glenda, Carol, Louise, Marlene, me Peggy, Jan and Lori.  After that, Lori, Marlene and I went on part of the Garden Walk.  We started with Dr. Kurbs house and then went to four or five other homes. The temperature was fairly comfortable, which was good. I took several pictures. This is Marlene at Dr. Kurb's place.   These two are from my favorite garden, which is in a front yard on East Avenue.    Then Marlene drove Lori and back to Wendy's where we had left our cars.  I gave Marlene five dollars f...

 SUNDAY:   I decided yesterday that coming home today (Sunday) instead of Monday like I (kind of) originally planned might be best.  I was running out of clean clothing and also, I was getting that "longing for home" feeling.  I left Leslie's place a little bit after eight a.m. (I think) and got on the thruway and stayed on the thruway until I got to the very last exit (Lockport/Depew).  I had stopped a couple of times to use a rest room and also, I got a medium Dr. Pepper (ugh over four dollars) at one of the thruway plazas, but I do not remember which one.  As I approached Lockport, I decided to make a few stops.  First, I filled up with gas at the "cheaper" place.  But gas was cheaper around Auburn.  I went to Chiavetta's and purchased a half a chicken, and to Panera for a drink, and then to Mark's for a slice of pizza.  When I got home (about 12:20 p.m.) I had the pizza for my lunch.  I found out that my internet was not wo...

 Sunday, June 28th:   I skipped church this morning.  I just had too much to do.  I met up with the other eleven ladies at the gazebo behind Freedom Church a few minutes before eleven a.m. We went to Cusimano's for lunch.  I had an American sub with potato chips and a Dr. Pepper.  Then we all left for Buffalo (in three cars) to go the play A FEW GOOD MEN, which Cindi's daughter, Renee   was starring in.  She had the only female role, the role Demi Moore played in the movie.  It was excellent. When we got back to Lockport,  I went to Reids and picked up supper before I t went home.  After I ate, I called Leslie to confirm that I will arrive at her place tomorrow and we will leave Tuesday morning for Saranac Lake.  I worked on packing in the evening.  It is so tedious.  I could not find the movie A FEW GOOD MEN anywhere on my ROKU TV.   MONDAY June 29th:    Time to leave for Auburn. I got the ca...
