October 31, 2018 Lunch Out and YMCA

This morning I decided to go to the YMCA and walk on the track.  First I called Pam and she agreed to meet me there, but then she called back and cancelled.  I called several other people, Marlene, Vicky, Betty, Elaine, Dee, Louise and Geneva.  Nobody was available.  I decided to go to lunch with the girls I graduated high school with.  First I went to the Salvation Army where I ran into both Pam and Betty.  I found two sweaters.  Then I met up with the others at Kalamata's.   I had one of the Wednesday specials:  the ham dinner: ham steak with mashed potatoes and green beans as well as a cup of hamburger mac and cheese soup.
  It was me, Lynette, Barb, MaryAnn and Carol.  I asked Barb if she felt like going to the YMCA to walk the track and she agreed.  She went as my guest.

We walked the track many times!  I think we must have walked close to a mile.  I also tried the treadmill...……….I used this password friends1 and I will be recognized by this simmccc.  I only lasted about two minutes or less.  I think I was the only person there wearing jeans!  Everyone else seemed to have standard stretch pants on (maybe yoga pants).

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased  baking sheets . Bake 8-10 m...
