DELIVERING CHRISTMAS BOXES and LOTS more 11/15/19

 When I got to FREEDOM CHURCH this morning to meet up with Peggy to take the OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD  boxes to the church in Pendleton, the church van was already loaded up with most of the boxes.  Peggy had four more that we added.
We delivered 75 boxes.  
We stopped at Craft Coffee House in
Pendleton and Peg got a coffee and I got a hot chocolate.

After we returned to FREEDOM, I located this church that Peg mentioned to me.  Her dentist goes to this Coptic church.
I decided to go to the KENAN CENTER for the NIAGARA FRONTIER WATERCOLOR SOCIETY 14th INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF TRANSPARENT WATERCOLOR the watercolor.  The paintings there are very good.  This was my favorite:
         BECKONING RIBBONS by Sheila Reigh.  At first I thought it was a photograph.  Then I went to the library to read the current newspapers.  Then I went to the Historical Society to see an art exhibit.

     While I was out, I went to Citizens Bank to cash a check while going through the drive through.  I found out that I did not have my drivers license with me.   So I went inside to cash the check and when I got home I was a bit frantic looking everywhere and hoping I would find it.  It was in another purse.

   When I was at the library reading current newspapers, I saw that the NIAGARA ARTS  GUILD was meeting at the Dale at seven p.m. and that they would be making Thanksgiving centerpieces. 
I asked Betty if she would like to go and she said yes.  The Thanksgiving centerpieces did not work out, but they did another project, turning gourds into candles.   Everyone was friendly and doing the craft project was a lot of fun.

                                      Nona working on hers.

                           Pouring hot soy wax into the gourds
                                              These are the two I made.l
                                        Betty working on her second candle
                                          Betty's finished  products.

I gave someone my email address so I can get on their email mailing list.  Next month they are having a Christmas  pot luck.

Week of Sunday September 8th through Saturday September 14, 2024 (new password info)

 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 ...

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. ...

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