12/17/18 Y and More

First thing I did today was take over a meal for Frank and Louise.  I gave them a large container of COWBOY BEAN SOUP, some blueberry muffins and a few Christmas cookies.  Louise asked me if I could pick up some GATORADE, which she is supposed to drink tomorrow in order to prepare for her colonoscopy.  I agreed to do that.

I went to the Y for SILVER SNEAKERS SPLASH.
I arrived a few minutes early and exercised in the water before the class started.  Betty arrived and joined me.  After the class, we went upstairs and rested a few minutes.  I used my two favorite resistance machines and also my two favorite cardio machines for a few minutes and walked the track a couple of times.  Betty said she was craving a good salad and we discussed possible places to go to get one.  She suggested going to TOPS for their salad bar might be our best bet..

I mailed cards to Megan, Christa and my grandkids at TOPS and met Betty there.  TOPS does indeed have the best salad bar at a very reasonable price.  LOTS to choose from.  I bought a loaf of rye bread in order to make "bread bowl" for tomorrows life group, Louise's Gatorade and a couple of other item.  Then I took the Gatorade to Louise.  I went to the library and read recent newspapers before going home.  I came home and took a nap and  I also made up the bread bowl and dill/spinach dip for tomorrow morning.  

I put together Christmas cards this evening for the ladies in my life group, including a copy of ANYWAY, which I shared with them last Christmas.  Several in the group requested copies, and I am finally getting around to taking care of that.   I also made up the bread bowl and dill/spinach dip for tomorrow morning.

 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 ...
