January is Coming to an END!!!!! 1/30 and 1/31/2020

 Yesterday (the 30th) I went to the Y and walked and used a few machines.  I ran into my sister in law, Janie and we talked a bit while walking.  My brother, Mike, was down in the gym waiting for a turn to play pickle ball.  After the Y, I met Betty at DENNY'S where they were offering free VEGGIE BURGERS to customers ordered a drink.
It was pretty good, having a nice flavor.  Betty asked our server if there was a list of ingredients and she brought it to us.  It appears to me to be mostly artificial stuff and the only thing close to a vegetable is beet juice.  I don't think I will ever be OK with paying eight dollars for one, but I am glad I tried it.

This morning (31st) I was wondering if I should go to the Y when Betty called and asked if I might want to go to the hospital for baked fish.  She agreed to pick me up at 12:15, but she forgot and went directly to the hospital.  I called her  at 12:25 on her cell phone and agreed to meet her there.  The fish was very good, like it always is.  I had coleslaw and a potato dish that they call "chip dip".  

I had signed up for NARCON TRAINING, sponsored by Freedom Church, at SAVE THE MICHAELS OF THE WORLD.  This morning I thought of my friend Bonnie, whose nephew Michael is an addict so I decided to call her and ask if she would like to  go.  She agreed and she invited her sister Kathy and her friend Crystal.   I met up with them at STM at 7:30 p.m.  There were not many people there for the training.  Peggy, me, Crystal, Bonnie, Kathy, Cindra Enzinna and her husband Don, and one of  Cindra's employees from the CareNet Center, along with another guy..  The training was very good and we each were given NARCON to take home.
I am glad I went.  The places I go are pretty low risk:  church, the Y, the library, hiking and geocaching, etc.  but there is always the chance that I could  have an opportunity to save the life of a person who has overdosed.

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

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
