SUNDAY the 14th  (Flag Day)   In the morning, Megan and I went over to have a short visit with Carrie.  It went well.  Then we returned to my place.  Megan had been trying to make plans with her cousin Ben (my nephew, my sisters oldest son) to get together.  They didn't arrive until shortly before one p.m. The four of us sat and visited for a while and then someone suggested going out for lunch.  I told them that I wanted "you young people" to have some time together and I stayed home.  They didn't argue with me about that.  They went to THE BIG DITCH. Megan went upstairs to look around since Megan had told her to see if there was anything she might want.  She found one item (an antique ice bucket).  She accidentally locked the keys in the apartment before she came down.  I finished packing three box for Megan, Cassy and Tyler (I had been working on them for a while), and added them to the pile of boxes that Meg will take ...

 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. I spent the rest of the day at home.  I packed up my vests since I won't need them until next fall or early winter.  I ran the dishwasher.  I watched the MEET THE PRESS interview of President Trump this morning.   MONDAY:  I cleaned a few corners in my bathroom.  Then I went to DOLLAR TREE to get a gift b...

 SUNDAY:  Church was very good.  Six of us went to APPLEBEE'S for lunch after:  Vicky, me, Louise, Marlene, Glenda and Carol.  After that, I went to PANERA, but didn't get anything since they were all out of my favorite drink.  Then I went to the Dollar Tree to get a few items and I decided to check to see if SUPER CUTS was open. 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...
