 SUNDAY the 18th:   Church was very good.  The youth did almost everything during the service.      Addie Campbell did great. I did not go out to lunch with the others.  I went to Niagara Produce for groceries and to Walgreens for a couple of items.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I watched an hour long video that Megan wants to discuss with me.   MONDAY the 19th.  I laid around for a bit this morning and then decided to take a ride in hopes of seeing some fall color.  I headed to the refuge and drove around there a bit, and tried a couple of different roads.  I saw some really good color that I could not take pictures of, unfortunately.  I think my favorite color was on Meadville Road, which I have never been on before.  I think it is outside of the refuge, in Genesee County. When I was heading home, I found myself in Royalton Center ( I think ) and I enjoyed seeing this:   The si...

Jennifer _______________being interviewed by Katie Courig     podcast "I've had it" She spoke about being told horrible things would happen to her if she did not believe in Jesus/Salvation. Did you have the same experience?  In all my years as a Christian, including even when I was a little girl going to Sunday school, I never had this experience.  I do recall when Julie went to Horse Riding Camp  (CIRCLE C) that she came home and told her mother that she was scared from things she heard.   She spoke of the belief that morals come from religion.   I don't claim that God anointed Trump to be president.   I don't have blind faith, I don't think everything he says or does is right or good, while I am aware that some people just don't see that he is less than a good person. CROSSWORDS CATHEDRAL  Oklahoma Personally, I never had a pastor who lived lavishly.   BUT, I know of those and have little respect for them. like...

 SUNDAY:  I am feeling much better, but I decided to stay home from church.  I watched the service online, casting it from my laptop to my ROKU TV.   I made banana pancakes for my breakfast.   MONDAY:  The meds I took last night did not help me sleep as much as they did the two previous nights. In the late morning I got hungry for a tuna sandwich, but I do not have any bread.  So, I decided on a tuna/macaroni salad, so I started making that.   TUESDAY:  I felt pretty good this morning when I got up, so I decided to go to Life Group.  I was feeling kind of lousy shortly after it started, but gradually I felt better.  A bunch of us went out to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF.  I stopped at Dollar Tree and Aldi before going home, in order to get some stuff I needed.  I really needed a nap when I got home.  When I got up, I went to Walgreens to pick up my Viberzi.  Then I worked outside for but fifteen minutes...

 SUNDAY:  After church today, Jan and I quickly got down to the kitchen in order to help Peggy set up for the CONNECT luncheon.  There was not much to do, though.  I had taken a bag and a box of items for a giveaway.  Betty and Elaine had done the same.  I am so happy that almost every item of mine was taken.  There was plenty of food.  Some of the CONNECT members worked on putting Operation Christmas Child boxes together, but I didn't.  There was a lot of food left over and I brought a few small containers home.  I took a nap and when I got up, I started a load of laundry so I could have my favorite jeans to wear tomorrow. MONDAY:  I met up with the JOHNSON'S CREEK SENIORS (and many Barker Seniors at St. Brendan's Church at ten a.m.  Marlene had gotten on at the Hartland Fire Hall and chose our seats.  We headed to Buffalo and the Statler Hotel or MURDER AT THE STATLER HOTEL.  It was a great event.    The b...

  President Trump did not erase millions of acres of public land. The claims that he “sold off” or eliminated huge amounts of public land come from a fight over Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah. These are national monuments, not national parks. A national monument is a special designation placed on federally owned land to protect specific historic, cultural or scientific resources. President Clinton created Grand Staircase-Escalante in 1996, President Obama created Bears Ears in 2016, and Trump later reduced the boundaries of both monuments. Reducing a national monument does not make the land private. The land outside the new monument boundaries remained federal public land. What changed was the special monument designation and the rules for those acres. Trump reduced the monuments in 2017, Biden restored the larger boundaries in 2021, and Trump modified them again in July 2026. The newest proclamations allow excluded lands to be managed under the federal public-lan...

 SUNDAY:  As soon as I arrived at Church, I told Carol and Glenda that I would not be going out to lunch after church.  They immediately started to make plans and asking who else would be going.  Church was very good this morning.  When it was over Lori and I both drove to my house and I provided lunch.  It was pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad,  and pickled yellow squash.  Then we had about a half an hour before it would be time to leave for the Palace.  I cleaned the kitchen and changed into jeans and Lori was using her phone.  I drove and dropped her off in front of the Palace and found a parking spot in front of the library.  She had chosen very good seats.  The play FINDING NEVERLAND was giving its final performance . I was very sleepy and almost dozed off a few times, so I was not able to follow the story line.  But the acting was very good. I called my cousin, Becky, since I had not seen her at Barker seniors thi...
