Oct. 18 BONFIRE at Freedom North



In the morning, I called Elaine and invited her to the BONFIRE at Freedom North this evening.  She said she appreciated the invitation but that she needed to work on her yard and gardens today.

I got to church early and was able to save Myrna her favorite seat in the back corner.  The sermon this morning was excellent.  

I had decided to put together a CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX this year, so I picked up an instruction sheet and went to DOLLAR TREE after church and purchased many items to put in it. After my lunch at home, I packed the box.  I think I can fit a few more items in it.

I called Lydia, who broke her ankle a couple of weeks ago, and we talked for a while. Her son is still staying with her and he is helping her.

After my nap, I called Betty to see if she was planning on going to the BONFIRE at Freedom North.  I woke her up from a nap but she said she was going to get something to eat and then meet me there. 

I think there were about twenty people there.  Pastor Ben led the get together.  We had some worship and then Ron and Vicky gave their testimony.  Then the supplies for making S'MORE's were passed out.  I made two, but did not finish the second one (which was made with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and very rich).









I tried to reach Connie by phone a little after seven p.m. but she did not answer.  

My internet service was down all day today.  I called Spectrum twice and heard a recording saying that there is an outage in my area.

 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

 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
