Thursday, July 16th

I went to the OFFICE FOR THE AGING this morning to pick up coupons for produce at local farmers markets and farm stands.  This year, they gave away what I call "goody bags" which included info about other services as well as a package of five face masks, hand sanitizer and gloves, as well as a thermometer!
Then I went to Mary Anne's house to work on sorting through stuff in order to get ready for an estate sale.  I worked for a couple of hours, throwing away lots of old paperwork.  I took three bags of clothing to donate when I left.  I took them over to FREEDOM and put them in the donation box behind the church.

I decided to go to WalMart to see if I could find a pair of flip flops before they are all gone.  I actually bought four pair of shoes (one pair of flip flops, a pair of sandals and two pair of slip on sneakers)  I got myself a half a tuna sub at SUBWAY. 

Once home, I ate my lunch, and responded to a couple of phone calls.  Then I took a nap.  Shortly after I got up from my nap, Peggy called to remind me of the Prayer Meeting on ZOOM at seven p.m.  So, I had a quick supper before logging on.  It was a small group led by Peggy:  me, Marlene,
Mary Sylvas and the Christies who are missionaries in Kenya, but on extended leave.  They are in Florida right now, hoping to return soon.

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 helper...

 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. ...

 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 ...
