November 6th and 7th

 FRIDAY, November 6th, 2020:   Elaine picked me up and then we went to get Nancy and we went to the Covenant Church in Gasport for their annual bazaar.  I bought several items, including two Christmas gifts (for Betty and Peggy), and some baked goods (including a plate of CUCIDATI for Pastor Ben) and home canned items. 




Elaine dropped me off and I had lunch before going to Wegmans.   I also checked out a route to get to Windsong where I am going for a mammogram and dexa scan next week.  I got close to a hundred dollars worth of groceries including two nice pieces of salmon, rosemary sour dough bread and apple cider bread, two bags of gluten free pretzels, crackers, cheese, PAM, etc.

When I got home, I raked a few leaves (three bags full) and put them in my trash.  I talked to Peggy on the phone twice, and watched couple of episodes of LAW and ORDER SVU.

SATURDAY, November 7th, 2020:   Betty, Peg and I made plans to meet up for a walk.  Before I left, Pam called and wanted to get together.  I invited her to join us but she declined.  She reminded me ot the art exhibit at the Kenan Center.    I took the plate of cookies I bought for Ben Fresch, a piece of salmon,  some beets and the rent check over to Peggy.  Then we dropped the cookies off at Freedom Church where Ben was holding a Freedom Group.  We also dropped off the Christmas box that I had done first aid on the other day.  

Then Peg and I drove to UNCLE G'S (an ice cream place in Pendleton), and met up with Betty there.  Uncle G's is closed but it is a good place to park for walking the Erie Canal Trail which runs behind it.   We walked over a half mile in, finding three geocaches along the way.  Peg and I walked ahead of Betty a little (she was sore from raking leaves) and to a bridge where there is a cache hidden, but we could not find it.  We turned around an walked back to the car.  

I had lunch, recorded my geocaches,  and rested a bit when I got home.  Elaine picked me up a little before three p.m. so we could go to he Drive Thru Turkey Dinner at Covenant United Church of Christ in Gasport.  We were dismayed to see a very long line curling around 31 when we got there.  Elaine suggested we skip it but I said I thought we should get in line and be patient.   We were in line about a half hour before getting our dinners.  They were superbly well organized.  Elaine suggested we have supper together at her house, but since I was not hungry  yet so I declined.  

When I got home, I did a bit of raking and bagging up leaves before settling in front of TV to watch a few episodes of LAW AND ORDER SVU.   I had my turkey dinner around 6:30 and it was very good!

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...
