LIGHT UP LOCKPORT 2019

Betty and I were planning on going to LIGHT UP LOCKPORT today when Dee called looking for something to do today.  I invited her to join us and she met up with Betty and I at my house and we headed out.

Our first stop was at the PALACE to watch the first half of ELF.  Then we went to EMMANUEL METHODIST CHURCH for the nativity display
and refreshments.  It is my opinion that it was not as good as it was last year because they had a table for kids to do crafts right in the middle of the room between where there used  to be couches and chairs on both sides.

Then we went to the Lockport Fire Department to take a tour.  Betty had a particularly good time!

Then we decided to go to LaPorts for lunch.  Betty and I both had the corn beef and cabbage.  I thought it was good, but Betty did not like it.  Then we went to the Main Street Rite-Aid so Dee could take care of something

We decided to take a break and return for the parade.  Betty dropped Dee and I off at my house and we both rested for an hour until Betty returned to get us.   I took the opportunity to put on a pair of long johns under my jeans and find some earmuffs.   We found a good parking spot in front of the library.  We checked out a new shop in the old post office
before the parade started.

Dee watched from inside the post office since the cold really bothers her.



After the parade, we headed over to the Palace for the entertainment.  As we were waiting to get in we met up with Pam and I asked her to join us.  We could not find four seats together so we split up.
A men's chorale group sang first and then the Diane Mulvaney dance studio presented a shortened version of THE GRINCH.
It was very good.

After that I almost suggested that we go out for pizza, but I decided not to.   Betty dropped Dee and I off at my house a little before eight p.m.  It was a great day!

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 helpers.  They put napkins and plasticware at

 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
