Thursday, August 27th Peg's Birthday, etc.

 This morning I had my physical at Medwell, with my new primary Dr. Danaher.  It went very well and I left with orders for a DEXA SCAN and blood work, and another appointment for a physical in August of 202l.  When I got home I worked on estate stuff, but I could not tell you exactly what I was working on.

About eleven a.m. I went to George Boes shop.  I noticed that he was busy with a customer, (on his front porch)

so I kept driving and went to the lawyers office and dropped something off and picked something up.  Then I went back to see if George was free.  He was and he made a higher offer for the rings that he appraised yesterday.  He offered $475.   He also offered fifty dollars for the pocket watch and I think twenty five dollars for the coins (Kennedy half dollars which have some silver in them).  I told him that I need to get another appraisal or offer and took them with me.  

I went to the drive through at RITE AID and picked up my LOMOTIL.  Then I went to  Aguacates Mexican Restaurant.

Betty was already there when I arrived and we went in and requested a table on the patio.  Peggy joined us a few minutes later.  We were celebrating Peg's 59th birthday. We had a nice time except Betty had an ongoing battle with a few bees who hung around us.  

After lunch I went to the Post Office to mail the LETTERS TESTAMENTARY to Social Security in Jamaica, New York so that MA's death benefits can be paid out..  I think that money will belong to me rather than the estate, but I don't know for sure.  Then I went to Kurt's Coin Shop to

show him the rings, the watch and the coins.  He offered me the same amount that George offered, but I asked for more and he went up to $650, and that was only for the gold rings, he gave me the rest back.  WOO HOO!!!!  So, then I went to see George, who paid me $50 for the pocket watch (Kurt had offered $25 and David had offered $15).  I called David because I had forgotten what he offered for the coins and he told me ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, more than Kurt or George wanted to pay.  I gave George the rings I had left, which he said he would pay me  fifteen dollars for along with the tiny chest they were in in lieu of a fee he could have charged me for doing the appraisal.  So, I think I did well today!

When I got home, Peggy was working on cleaning out the A Frame shed in the back yard.  I should have offered to help her, but I was hot, and sweating and tired.  I took my second shower of the day and then took a nap.

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

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 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
