Friday, October 16th, 2020 FREEDOM CONFERENCE

 This morning I went through the rest of Mary Anne's jewelry and then decided to separate the pendants out and see if I could sell them.  I called George Boes but he was not interested, and suggested that Kurt might be.  So, I  took them to Kurt and he chose a few (the nicer ones) and offered me twenty five dollars.  I know they are worth a lot more, but I need to sell them, so I agreed.  Then I went to Johnsons and TJ Max to look for some Buffalo Plaid, but I was not successful.  There were a couple of items available at TJ Max but they were slightly different from the Buffalo Plaid that I want, so I did not purchase anything.  

Tonight was the first part of the FREEDOM CONFERENCE, which was set up for June, but then cancelled due to the pandemic.  In June, we would have driven to Maryland, but this one was here at Freedom Church.  It was for everyone who has been part of a Freedom Group.  Peggy held one for several ladies in the spring.    I think there have been three groups completed so far.  

Dinner was served before the meeting.  It was very good: turkey rolls, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll and desert.  Then we went into the sanctuary for the first session, which probably lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes.  It was very good. 




We were given info. about tomorrow.  We should arrive at ten a.m. and light snacks and coffee will be served.   We will be given lunch after Part 2 of the conference and the afternoon session (Part 3) will finish up at 3:30 p.m.

EAGLE WATCH at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and more: 2/1/2020

Image
Betty and I went to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge for the EAGLE WATCH, which was part of the IO Palooza event today.  She picked me up and we drove to the Visitors Center on Casey Road.  There were several things going on in this building, and they were offering pieces of cake. The event was a celebration of the  20th year of Iroquois Observations.   We had cake, walked around a bit and went into the gift shop.  We got directions to the location of the Eagle Watch from a worker and then headed to the Cayuga Overlook. They had scopes set up for visitors to see the eagle and the nest.   I took this picture through the scope. We wanted to hike a bit so we got directions from the ranger how to get to a certain trail, but we could not find the road to it.   We headed to the Tonawanda Indian Reservation so we could have lunch at Jan's Sah-Da-Ko-Nee Restaurant.  We entered the reservation via Bloomingdale Road, the road the re...

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

October 20,2020

 I slept pretty good last night.  I don't remember getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom!  For sure I did not get more than five or six hours, but at least I got that much.  I finished up putting together my Christmas box in order to take it to Freedom Church this morning.   I went to the Ladies Life Group.  I think there were nine or ten of us there this morning and it was a very good meeting.  At the end, several of the group decided to go to Wendy's for lunch but I decided not to go.  I went to WalMart and picked up a few items and had lunch at home. I talked to Connie on the phone for a while regarding her appointing me as her agent (Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney and Executrix of her Estate).  She has all of this set up with someone else, but she changed her mind about that person.    After my nap I went to SOLID ROCK to pick up a spaghetti dinner.  After I ate, I went out for a walk and also...
