Monday March 30th PARADE

The parade was the highlight of my day.  I think it was around noon.  Betty called me and said that she just watched police and firetrucks and a lot of cars go by slowly, beeping and honking and some sirens.  They were headed north on Transit, so I figured they might circle around and come down Prospect.  I quick put my shoes on and grabbed my camera and headed to the corner.  I could hear it all going down Hawley Street and then they came up Prospect heading north.   

Unfortunately, I did not realize that my lens had gotten damp, so my pictures came out blurry.  
I guess it was mostly teachers from Anna Merritt School and it appeared that a lot of cars just randomly joined in the parade.  I talked with my neighbor Mary Turk for a bit, since she heard the ruckus and walked down to the corner, too.

I finished up posting Peggy's pictures to her flickr account and I worked on putting in my pictures from my Oregon 2009 trip.    Talked on the phone with a few people including my cousin Becky.  

I started reading the book MR PRESIDENT HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?   It is very good.

I AM FULLY VACCINATED April 12, 2021

 Before going into the City of Niagara Falls, New York for my second COVID vaccination, I went to the Fashion Outlet Mall on Military Road to go to OLD NAVY.  I had a coupon for twenty dollars off of a purchase totaling fifty dollars or more.   I was hoping to find some spring short sleeved tops.  What I did find was a pair of "khaki's" for fifteen dollars and then I picked out a t-shirt that can be worn with those pants.  I was able to redeem my coupon and get the outfit for $15.00.   I don't really like the khaki pants but they fit snugly, are lightweight and will be good to wear for hiking, so that I will be able to see any ticks that land on me.    Then I headed to the Conference Center in the falls.  I parked in the same place and since I was early and needed to use a rest room, I went over to the Culinary Institute where I knew there was a clean ladies room.   My plans were to go to the Barnes and Noble and to the ba...

New Year's Day 2022 at Home

Image
 I put a pork roast, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions in the crockpot and covered most of that with orange juice.  I thought about calling Marlene to ask her if she would like to come over for supper, but I decided not to, since I want to do several things around the house, including putting Christmas decorations away and if she were to come, I would want to make desert and muffins, etc., which would take me away from the tasks I want to work on.  I completely stripped my bed all the way down to the mattress cover and started laundry.  I tried on all the clothing items I bought yesterday to make sure they fit well, and in case I might want to return some of them.  They all fit well and I will keep all of them, so I started washing them.   I continued watching THE SPANISH PRINCESS.  I talked with Peggy on the phone, and Lisa Pichey called and I spoke with her for a while.  She had her foot surgery two weeks ago and is recuperating at home. P...

FRIDAY June 3rd, First Day 2022 of the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage

Image
 We went to Camp Allegany in the morning to register.  Leslie picked up two Allegany Nature Pilgrimage shirts that she had ordered when she registered us, and gave me one for a birthday present.  They had shirts from previous years for five dollars each, so I purchased two of them, one for me (green) and one for Leslie(yellow).  I changed into the shirt Leslie gave me and she changed into the one I bought her. I was looking for Lori Myers, who I had messaged with on the ALLEGANY NATURE PILGRIMAGE facebook page.  Turns out I was misreading.  We met LON Myers and his wife.  We picked up our schedules for the Pilgrimage:   We went geocaching for a bit since there were a couple of free hours before the event started.    We took our packed lunch to the Red House Administration Building and ate in the large room overlooking the lake and used the restroom there.   Leslie and I both went to NATURE TANGLES.  Judy Light led this gr...
