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 I made myself a cup of hot chocolate using the recipe on this very much outdated product from my cupboard.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.

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

 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
