Saturday, August 29th.

 Today is my granddaughters twentieth birthday!   Unbelievable.  She is such a smart, beautiful and hard working young lady.  Unfortunately, she is a flaming liberal.  Sigh.  I sent her birthday wishes on FB early this morning.  

This morning I went to Mary Anne's house and picked up her mail.  There were several letters or whatever from some of the charities she supported.  I wrote RETURN TO SENDER on the front of the envelope and indicated that she is deceased.  I doubt, though, that this will work, but I figured it was worth a try.

I met up with my sister Gail and a friend (Sheila) at Mary Anne's cottage this morning.  I was disappointed because Sheila was not really interested in looking at or buying any of the antique furniture, which is the reason I asked her if she wanted to come.  It seems that she only wanted to see the cottage, but she did spend ten dollars.  Gail, however, purchased two of the antiques, the bench and the antique table that was in the front room. She also took a couple of other items.  She called her son, Andrew, who brought his girlfriend and they purchased a couple of small items.  So, I think I went home with $120.  

Then I went back to Lockport to BEAR BOTTOM WHOLESALE and showed him the pictures I took after what I sold this morning was removed.  He kind of offered me a mere ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR, maybe TWO HUNDRED.  I think that is awfully low, but I am also thinking I maybe should just accept it.   Especially since I have already sold over six hundred dollars worth of furniture when I add in the five hundred dollars the new owners gave me for the beds, recliners, etc.   I need to let him know in a couple of days.  

After lunch, I went to Niagara Produce to get some cider, eggs and strawberries.  

In the evening, I called Cassandra to wish her a Happy Birthday and we talked for a while.  She will start her second year of college in a few weeks, sounds like it will all be online.   Also, she was promoted to assistant manager at her Starbucks where he has worked for about 14 months.

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

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
