 I stayed home from church today mostly because  I am supposed to self-quarantine until after my endoscopy this coming Thursday and also because my car has a "donut" on because of the tire with the nail in it.  I have to decide what to do about that tomorrow.  I could not get a straight answer from Northtown Subaru about whether or not this is covered under my warranty.    

I watched FREEDOM SOUTH morning service online and it was very good.  I did a few things around the house, and took care of getting the trash and collectibles out.

I messaged Mary on FB and asked if she might want to join me at the cabin I have reserved in Allegany State Park next October and she said YES, and she seems pretty excited about this.  So am I!!!!!   I have not stayed in the park since 1996 although I have been there several times in the past six years for day trips.   

I prepared a baked sweet potato, and summer squash for my late lunch along with a slice of meatloaf that I had previously frozen, and baked apple for desert.    After my nap, I prepared some popcorn in the popcorn maker that Megan gave me for my seventieth birthday.   I watched the final episode of FLESH and BLOOD on Masterpiece.  

The ending left me up in the air.  

Becky called in the evening and she was telling me a true story about how when she worked in a nursing home, she and another aide were transporting a body when the women they were transporting suddenly woke up.  I had to stop her from finishing the story when I saw that Connie was calling, but I will call Becky soon and ask her to finish the story.  Connie and I talked about the possibility of she and I taking a trip to Long Island.  She is in favor of that idea, but honestly, I don't think it will ever happen, since her health seems so precarious.  I hope it does happen, though.  I have never been to Long Island, where she grew up.  

According to the Canadian news at ten p.m  (THE NATIONAL) they are experiencing the second wave of COVID.  I guess its a good thing that we closed the border when we did.

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 helper...

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. ...

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 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 go...
