Wednesday, December 23, 2020 The Day Before the Day Before Christmas

 I was doing laundry and changing sheets when Connie called.  We talked for about an hour.  Then Sue called and wanted addresses and birthday information that I had, so we talked for close to a half hour..  I tried to reach my sister Gail, so I can arrange to get her Christmas gift to her.  I wanted to pick up my new eye drops at Rite Aid but apparently Dr. Legeratta and Univera are still working on getting it pre-approved.

I decided to go to the library to pick up a couple of calendars as well as to Prudden and Kandt, who also gives away nice calendars. I got two at the library and one at Gould's Flower Shop.   Prudden and Kandt was closed.  I drove around and saw some of the houses decorated for Christmas.  




I decided to try making Yorkshire Puddings again, this time using the recipe found in the old Betty Crocker cookbook.  I think this is the recipe I used a long time ago when I was first married, to make cream puffs.  And then again, a few years ago, since I moved here, I made Yorkshire Puddings a few times.

Anyways, this recipe worked well and the popovers turned out well.  The recipe makes 12.  Next time I will grease the muffin cups better than I did today, OR use a non stick muffin pan.  

See how nicely they popped/puffed up!!!!

Peg called several times in the evening.  She asked me to help with a funeral meal next Wednesday.  Betty called, and so did Myrna.  

I received a beautiful card and a nice letter from Leslie.  I went to my email and typed out a nice return letter to her BUT then I was kicked online  (SPECTRUM STINKS)  so I saved it to drafts.  I went in later when I was online and found my draft, but only the first line of my email was saved.

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

 Before going into the City of Niagara Falls, New York for my second COVID vaccination, I went to the Fashion Outlet Mall on Military Road to go to OLD NAVY.  I had a coupon for twenty dollars off of a purchase totaling fifty dollars or more.   I was hoping to find some spring short sleeved tops.  What I did find was a pair of "khaki's" for fifteen dollars and then I picked out a t-shirt that can be worn with those pants.  I was able to redeem my coupon and get the outfit for $15.00.   I don't really like the khaki pants but they fit snugly, are lightweight and will be good to wear for hiking, so that I will be able to see any ticks that land on me.    Then I headed to the Conference Center in the falls.  I parked in the same place and since I was early and needed to use a rest room, I went over to the Culinary Institute where I knew there was a clean ladies room.   My plans were to go to the Barnes and Noble and to the ba...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...
