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.

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
