 I put two butternut squash in the oven first thing this morning.   They baked until I turned the oven off before I went to meet with Kevin Kopek at NorthWest bank this morning.   We filled out the necessary paperwork for PRINCIPAL, and transferred my TRANSAMERICA account (my IRA) and AMERICAN NATIONAL accounts to NW.  Then I went to Niagara Produce to get a gallon of cider, using the gift card I won at Gather and Give.  

Then I went to the Y to pick up my free turkey dinner.  I thought there would be a line of cars, but there wasn't.  


 It was VERY GOOD!  After lunch I prepared my squash and my cranberry sauce.  I had a pile of mail today  including a letter from NYCM about a refund check that has not been cashed.  I sent a copy of it to Marianne Koenig.  

My granddaughter, Cassandra, called to tell me that she has tested positive for COVID.  She was exposed at work (Starbucks) before they shut down for the second time several days ago.  She is quarantined to her room for the next ten days.  She is allowed to take the dogs out for walks and to go into the kitchen to get a drink or snack while wearing a mask, if nobody else is in the kitchen.  She is doing online school, so she won't miss any school work (she is in her second year at the community college).

In the evening, I started decorating for Christmas by putting up one of my small pre-lit trees.  It looks really nice.  Connie called and we talked for a half hour or more.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

 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
