Beginning and Ending at the Y: 12/19/18

I arrived at the Y a bit early for SILVER SNEAKERS SPLASH, so I went upstairs and used the FAT THIGHS machine a bit, and would have used the FAT BELLY machine a bit but someone else was using it.  I walked the track a couple of times and then went down to the locker room, and then out to the pool.  I was early so I exercised in the lap pool by myself for a bit and then moved over to the other pool and continued exercising on my own until Kathy started giving out directions,  Elaine, Pam and Betty arrived (in that order).    Elaine and I talked with Sarah (who plays Scrabble with Marlene) and we may get together to play cards or dominos.  I need to get Sarah's phone number.

After SPLASH, Betty and I went SHOPPING.   She needed to purchase gift cards for presents for her daughter, son in law, and granddaughter, who are coming to New York from Florida for Christmas.   Our first stop was at DAVE'S CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND.



which is right in the same plaza as STEIN MART, where Betty purchased a gift card.  Then we went to J.C. Penney's at Eastern Hills Mall.  I purchased two pair of exercise pants and a few tops which were on clearance, using Betty's discount.  We noticed that the jewelry store is closed or has moved, since it was decorated for Christmas.  
We stopped by the pet store for a minute and saw this fellow with a calf that he is training to take to nursing homes and other places for therapeutic purposes. 
We were getting hungry and after putting my bag of clothing into the trunk of Betty's car, we went back in to check out the food court.  Most of the spots were closed and we decided to NOT eat there.  We went to OLIVE GARDEN, which is just down the road a bit from the mall.  We both had endless soup, salad and breadsticks.
   we both had two bowls of pasta fagiole !!
We still had one more store to go to 
where Betty purchased her last gift card, and we also went into the Christmas Tree Shoppes for a few minutes before heading back to Lockport.  

Since I had left my car at the Y, we went back and decided to go in for a bit.  I did about a 35 minute workout on machines and walking.  And then came home exhausted.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

 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 helpers.  They put napkins and plasticware at

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 SUNDAY:  I started feeling kind of shaky and week during worship at church this morning.  So, I had to tell Marlene that I needed to go home after church instead of going to North Tonawanda with her.  Our plans had been to go to Joey's Place for lunch and then to the Riviera Theatre for the free organ concert by Camden Church.  I stopped at Mark's and got a slice of pizza to take home for my lunch.  It was not very good; I am sure it was left over from yesterday.  I found an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES on Hoopla and watched most of one episode until I started dozing off on the couch.  I spent the rest of the day resting at home, but I started working on planning for Thursday mornings FREEDOM GROUP, which I will be facilitating.   MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment and then went to the Y where I walked 15 minutes and then used the recumbent bike for five minutes. Then I returned a bottle of cranberry juice to Aldi and got a refund.  I spent the rest of the day at ho

Week of Sunday, March 17th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023

 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.  I stopped at THE DOLLAR TREE to get some cookie mixes.  I spent the rest of the day
