 I went out to run some errands this morning.  First to the library to pick up a DVD (the one about Togo), then to Niagara Produce to get some bananas, and then I dropped some items off at the lawyers office.  Then to Rite Aid to pick up my new eye drops. Then I went thru the BK drive thru and got a two for five dollar special............one whopper and one fish sandwich.  I was disappointed when the girl handed me the bag, since it did not feel at all hot, not even warm.  When I arrived home, the phone was ringing and it was Kevin Kopek from Northwest Bank and we set a time to meet next week.  Then Marlene called and we agreed to go for a walk on New Years Eve Day and possibly a hike on New Years Day, if the weather is OK.  

After a nap and before getting ready to go to FREEDOM, I started chopping vegetables for CABBAGE ROLL SOUP, which I plan to put in the crockpot tomorrow morning. 

I arrived at FREEDOM CHURCH a little early to help Peggy with the funeral meal, so I went into the sanctuary for part of the funeral of Jack Poyfair's grandson, Nick.  I never met Nick, but I know his grandfather.  Jack used to own the little corner store near where I live.  


  Peg, myself, Jenny, Vicky and Ben were in charge of handing out food for the guests.  Sandwiches, wraps, salad, potato chips, desert and drinks.  It all went well.  After everyone was served, I sat and ate with Marsha, Marlene, Maggie and Peggy.  

I offered Jenny five months worth of RESTASIS, since I started another eye drop today.  Jenny's insurance does not help with Restasis and her doctor recommended it.   After we left the church she came over and I gave it to her.  

I was home in time to watch AMERICAN MASTERS, about Laura Ingalls Wilder.  This documentary revealed that Laura's life was much more difficult than what she wrote about, and that her daughter Rose was heavily involved in editing her books, but she never wanted credit for it. 


  It was very good and I may watch it again on ON DEMAND.

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

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 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
