Saturday, Sept. 19th, 2020 was a TWO TURKEY DINNER DAY!!!!!

 I had tried to reach my cousin, Rebecca, over the past few days without success.  She was bitten by a dog eleven days ago.   I called her this morning and reached her.  I asked her about the dog bite and she told me the whole story including how the hospital here in Lockport did not do a good job treating her, all the bleeding she did, and how she ended up back in Lockport seeing Dr. Schraft, who is taking good care of her.    This is a picture that her son Scott posted on the day it happened.  (September 13th). A friend of Becky's who is a nurse is changing the dressings daily.  


Betty and I met up with Becky at the Hartland Stone School for their Autumn Festival.  As usual, they have a large basket raffle,  I spent twenty dollars on raffle tickets even though I didn't really see anything that I liked.    I also spent five dollars on a future raffle, at a future fundraising event for foundation repair for another schoolhouse in the area.   Most likely I WILL win because it is two Barbie dolls!!!!!

The three of us had the turkey dinner, which was very good.  The kitchen seemed somewhat disorganized.  I had to ask for silverware and my drink and both Betty and Becky had the same dilemma NO SILVERWARE.  Becky gave me the lighthouse lamp I won at their last fall festival.  She was there for the drawing and took it home and kept it for me.  I gave her a gift bag with some homemade healthy chocolate chip cookies, and small set of Christian encouragement cards.  I also gave Betty some cookies. I made them this morning after Peggy called and invited me to her house for supper tonight.  I will take the cookies and some rolls from Trader Joes.  

When I got home, I rested for a while before going to Peggy and David's house for supper.   Becky called to tell me that I won the basket of Pyrex bowls and other items, and that Betty won three items.  Becky won one item.

At Peg's house they had prepared a turkey dinner with baked potatoes,  stuffing, gravy and a squash called "mashed potato squash".   I contributed Everything But the Bagel Rolls from Trader Joes and the cookies.   It was a good meal.  David looked at some of Mary Anne's jewelry that I thought might be valuable, but none of it was.  

After supper, Peggy and I took a walk.  When I got home, my street was crowded with cars.  There is a party going on in the house that used to be the home of drug dealers.

I AM FULLY VACCINATED April 12, 2021

 Before going into the City of Niagara Falls, New York for my second COVID vaccination, I went to the Fashion Outlet Mall on Military Road to go to OLD NAVY.  I had a coupon for twenty dollars off of a purchase totaling fifty dollars or more.   I was hoping to find some spring short sleeved tops.  What I did find was a pair of "khaki's" for fifteen dollars and then I picked out a t-shirt that can be worn with those pants.  I was able to redeem my coupon and get the outfit for $15.00.   I don't really like the khaki pants but they fit snugly, are lightweight and will be good to wear for hiking, so that I will be able to see any ticks that land on me.    Then I headed to the Conference Center in the falls.  I parked in the same place and since I was early and needed to use a rest room, I went over to the Culinary Institute where I knew there was a clean ladies room.   My plans were to go to the Barnes and Noble and to the ba...

New Year's Day 2022 at Home

Image
 I put a pork roast, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions in the crockpot and covered most of that with orange juice.  I thought about calling Marlene to ask her if she would like to come over for supper, but I decided not to, since I want to do several things around the house, including putting Christmas decorations away and if she were to come, I would want to make desert and muffins, etc., which would take me away from the tasks I want to work on.  I completely stripped my bed all the way down to the mattress cover and started laundry.  I tried on all the clothing items I bought yesterday to make sure they fit well, and in case I might want to return some of them.  They all fit well and I will keep all of them, so I started washing them.   I continued watching THE SPANISH PRINCESS.  I talked with Peggy on the phone, and Lisa Pichey called and I spoke with her for a while.  She had her foot surgery two weeks ago and is recuperating at home. P...

FRIDAY June 3rd, First Day 2022 of the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage

Image
 We went to Camp Allegany in the morning to register.  Leslie picked up two Allegany Nature Pilgrimage shirts that she had ordered when she registered us, and gave me one for a birthday present.  They had shirts from previous years for five dollars each, so I purchased two of them, one for me (green) and one for Leslie(yellow).  I changed into the shirt Leslie gave me and she changed into the one I bought her. I was looking for Lori Myers, who I had messaged with on the ALLEGANY NATURE PILGRIMAGE facebook page.  Turns out I was misreading.  We met LON Myers and his wife.  We picked up our schedules for the Pilgrimage:   We went geocaching for a bit since there were a couple of free hours before the event started.    We took our packed lunch to the Red House Administration Building and ate in the large room overlooking the lake and used the restroom there.   Leslie and I both went to NATURE TANGLES.  Judy Light led this gr...
