After meeting up with Peg at Freedom Church to get the copies she made of Mary Anne's HEALTH CARE PROXY, I drove to CARSTAR on the boulevard in Amherst.  I left the car there and was given a very nice dark gray KIA.  I went to TRADER JOES (a few miles down the boulevard) and spent about $138.00 of my EBT benefits.  I got pasta, canned baked beans, crackers, a couple of sauces, a strawberry rhubarb pie, ground beef patties, Baby Bel cheese, sweet corn on the cob, two dark chocolate bars, and much more.  When I got home I prepared myself a "burger" and opened a can of the baked beans for lunch and had a piece of the pie for desert. 

I took a nap and when I woke up, returned a call to CARSTAR where I was told that the damages are a little over $2,000 and the car should be ready on Friday.  

I took two or three calls from Mary Anne today.  She has pretty much resigned herself to not being able to continue chemotherapy and dying soon.  She said her speech therapist realized that she was hurting (the first time she has admitted to me that she is in pain).  I promised to make sure she has a MASS OF CHRISTIAN BURIAL and that I will call Prudden and Kandt tomorrow and see if the flowers are paid for and if they are doing funerals in the midst of the pandemic.  Also, I need to purchase a pair of dark slacks and a colorful top for her to be laid out in.

She and I will meet with her lawyer at her house on Wednesday morning at ll:00 a.m. I will go over early and pick up a bit and make sure there are places for everyone to sit. 

Paula came over to get the copies of Mary Anne's Health Care Proxy and I gave her a large piece of strawberry  rhubarb pie.  Mary Anne might refuse to go to Roswell tomorrow and D. Soffat (her primary) on Wednesday.  If so,  Paula will make sure both doctors get copies.

Tomorrow I plan to call Prudden and Kandt about

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
