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.

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
