FREEDOM IN THE FIELD Week 5 and More

Once again, church was "in the field".

 I thought it seemed cooler than last week so I didn't claim a shady spot like I did last week.  It got pretty hot in my car, but I got some relief by opening the back hatch and standing in the shade it provided.   After church, popsicles were provided, and I had one and enjoyed fellowshipping with others.  Church will still be outside next Sunday, but the church will be open for those who have a hard time sitting in the sun.

I went to Chiavetta's to get a half chicken for lunch.  Today they were not at all crowded and a guy came to my car, took my order and my money and went in brought my chicken out.  Then I decided to go to Niagara Produce for a few produce items.  I got cherries, blueberries, bananas, one yellow squash, one sweet potato, eggs and a quarter pound of coleslaw.  On the way to NP, I had noticed a food truck offering ribs on Walnut Street, so I backtracked a bit and got some bbq ribs.

I felt OK spending extra money on the ribs because when I paid for my groceries at NP, I noticed that my available balance of EBT is now well over four hundred dollars.

The Sunday dinner I prepared for myself:  chicken, ribs, coleslaw and macaroni salad, with ice cream sandwiches for desert was exceptionally good.   Mary Anne called and we talked for a long time.  When her cell phone got low, I suggested that we talk more later since I was feeling tired and it sounded like she was tired also, since her speech was getting harder to understand.

I rested a bit and Mary Anne called back. We talked for a while until Paula arrived at her house to deliver cheeseburgers and ice cream.

Betty called and we decided to take a walk.  We walked down to Ida Fritz Park and back, using a different route on the way back.

    We left these two rocks at Ida Fritz Park.

 We noticed this new sign in front of a garage type door next to Grimbles.......?

When I got home there was a message from Paula.   I called back and we talked for a little while.

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 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
