ANOTHER PANDEMIC SUNDAY: 4/19/20

I "attended" online church this morning.  Pastor Craig gave a wonderful sermon.  I made banana/egg/oatmeal pancakes for breakfast.  They were very good.  I talked on the phone with Elaine for a while and I recommended the movie MOLL FLANDERS to her, it is on EPIX today, for the last day of the free Showtime and Epix offered by Spectrum. I made myself a cup of hot chocolate using the recipe on this very much outdated product from my cupboard.  It is dated years before I moved here.
I used almond milk because of my lactose intolerance.  The hot chocolate is certainly not like what I am used to, but I think I can get used to it and enjoy it.   

I started a new book  NOTES LEFT BEHIND
  It is a first person account written by parents who lost a very young child to cancer.  It is good.  

I made myself a great salad for lunch  Fresh Spinach, scoop of chicken salad, half of a fresh pear, a couple of cooked carrots, craisins and a few potato sticks,  with a packet of a vinaigrette left over from a Wendy's salad.  It was very good.  I was watching the most recent episode of TOMMY on ON DEMAND.  I also had a few crackers with hummus.

I talked with Peggy on the phone for a bit.  She is having a very lazy day, she said she won't even get dressed.    Betty called in the evening, also.  I also talked with Mary Anne, who is in Buffalo General Hospital.  She has requested a Catholic priest and been reassured that that one will come to see her, but that has not happened.  I was able to leave a message for Father Augusten who is on the pastoral staff at the hospital.

I watched the third episode of WORLD ON FIRE.

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...

 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 ...
