CONNECT MEETING etc.

This morning Peggy held a meeting for a committee she formed regarding her ministry to seniors which is known as CONNECT.  Gary Ruddy, Elaine______, Dee McDonnel and I are on the committee.

We discussed several things.  I presented the idea of our cousin Becky giving her presentation at one of the CONNECT luncheons.  It went over well.  I asked Peggy if she needs help with "visitation" and she more or less said that she was hoping I would offer.  We set up a tentative schedule of every other month events for next year, and talked about the upcoming Christmas luncheon.

After the meeting I went to the Y and walked the track for a while, did the recumbent bike for a while, and then tried out a couple machines.  I saw my "trainer" Dominic and talked with him a bit, and asked if I could start over and have two training sessions instead of the four shorter meetings with a trainer that he and I started last week.  He agreed and set me up with Ed for next Friday at nine a.m.

I went to Wendy's for lunch, came home and took a nap.

I had totally forgotten about Lynn Squires TASTEFULLY SIMPLE party tonight, until I happened to see a message pop up on facebook a few minutes after six p.m. (the party started at seven p.m.).  I got ready to go but decided I needed a small chocolate custard come from JoJo's before going.  So I did that and then went to the party.  
There were  a lot of prepared items to sample including a great soup, lots of dips and an apple desert.
I had a nice time, and ordered several items.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Image
 I got to the church around ten forty a.m.   I asked Lou to let me in to the office area and he did.  I picked up the boxes of cards, list of names and the printed Christmas carols and then I went down to the basement and looked for the "sugars" for the tea.  I found a few.  Then I located the case of bottles of water, but it was heavy, so I located Lou again and he carried it to the kitchen.   Once I got back to the kitchen, I looked for more "sugars" but couldn't find any, so I went to the COFFEE BAR, and they filled a bowl with different types for me.  I got the silverware ready.  I opened up the packaging that held the tablecloths captive (I have had difficulty opening them in the past) so that they would be ready to go.  David and Jan both came at the end of the service.  Jan located the floral displays for the tables, and we started to put the red tablecloths on the tables.  By this time, we had a lot of other helper...

 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. ...

 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 ...
