Betty and I went to the free breakfast at EMMANUEL METHODIST CHURCH, here in Lockport this morning.  It was very nice in spite of the guy at the next table who was VERY loud.  The pastor did what he called a short devotional, but it was really prayer, including the Lord's Prayer.

Then we went to the THANKSGIVING MARKET at Harrison Place.

Peggy joined us after a while.  I purchased a bottle of vinegar to give Peg for Christmas.  Peg introduced us to one of the owners of MAVERICK FARMS who might start a class to crochet plastic bags into mats for homeless people.

Late morning and into the afternoon, I worked around the house and did laundry.  Betty came over a little before six p.m. to pick me up to go to Johnson Creek for an event involving music and a turkey dinner.  The FB page for Community Fellowship Church said this:  Coffee House and Harvest Dinner (turkey with all the fixings) on Saturday, November 16 from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at Community Fellowship Church, 3146 Johnson Creek Road, Middleport. A freewill offering will be taken to help pay for the food.

We arrived at six thirty p.m. and the parking lot next to Fellowship Hall was FULL, so we parked across the street.  They had just set up an extra table a minute or so before we arrived.   We split the cost of a strip of raffle tickets for some prizes.
There was music by CREEKSIDE COUNTRY BAND, one of the members is a pastor at this church.
The music was great!    The turkey dinner was very good.
They had a desert auction and the last event was the drawing for the prizes.  I won this
which I gave to Betty because she admired it before we bought tickets.
It was a great event.  I took a picture of a list of future events, but I may not need it since Pastor Joe said he would call both Betty and I as future events approach.

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

 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

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 and mild Italian sausage and one package of ZWEIGLES hot dogs.
