October 21, 2020 Shopping!!!!

 I was hoping today would be a nice day so that I could do some hiking, but it turned out that it was damp and wet out.  I moved very slow this morning, and did a couple of things around the house.  I decided it was a good day to do some shopping.  

I have needed a new plastic mat to set inside my front door for a couple of years.  The old one had several cracks in it.  I tried to order one by phone from our local OFFICE MAX, but I was told that it has to be ordered online.  I try to avoid using my credit card on the internet.     So I decided to go to OFFICE MAX and see what they might have.  

They did have a few and I chose one.  It isn't as large as the old one, but it will do.  I purchased it.  Then I went to WalMart and stocked up on toilet paper, paper towels and disinfectant wipes.   I decided to drive out further on the transit and go to Home Goods.  I was hoping to find an oval tablecloth to fit my kitchen/dining room table.  No luck there, so I went to Target, and still no luck.  I also went to Bed, Bath and Beyond but they didn't have anything.  I went to the BUFFALO STORE, hoping to find some clothing in Buffalo Plaid, but they did not have much and the prices were very high on what they did have.   At J.C. Penney's, I found a kind of Buffalo Plaid flannel shirt in the men's department.  I purchased both a medium and a large, hoping that one of them will fit me.  The fitting rooms were closed, so I could not try them on.  

By that time, I was really getting hungry, so I headed towards home.   I thought I might stop and get something, but nothing appealed to me, so I had lunch at home.  While I was eating, Marlene called and wanted to take a walk, but I told her I was too worn out from shopping. 

Peggy came over to do something in the garage and to bring me the outline for tomorrow's Life Group, which I can attend either here at home or at Freedom Church.    While she was here, I asked her to help me remove the old plastic mat, which was under the table with the TV on it.  I needed her to lift up the edge of the table so I could pull the old, broken one out.   So, we did that, and then I cleaned the table and put everything back on it.   

I took a nap.  When I got up, Betty called and then Connie called.  Since I had such a late lunch, I did not have any supper.

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
