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.

                                              These are the two I made.l

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

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
