 I called 211 after seeing an article in the local newspaper that  this was the number to call to make an appointment for a coronavirus vaccination.  I waited a LONG time to music and repeated messages, before finally giving up.  I spent the remainder of the morning delivering boxes to various places in Lockport and one closer to Newfane.  I also took some fruitcake and turkey pot pie over to Myrna.  Since I had to drive past REID'S on the way home, I decided to try out their new drive thru.  I ordered a burger and fries, both with sauce.  I was disappointed that they did not package these to go............I was handed a paper plate with both items on it!   However, I noticed that they are using heavier more sturdy paper plates.  Anyways, my food was hot and good and I ate part of it on the drive home.

When I got home, I tried calling 211 again, and this time I requested a call back, which came an hour or so later.  Even so, I was not able to make an appointment, because they are all filled up.   I was told that I can try next week to see if any new appointments have opened up.  

I decided it might be a good time to start working on a puzzle, so I straightened stuff up on the table that my TV is on in the living room and made room.  I will try to work on it a little bit every day.

Peg called and asked if I can deliver a few boxes tomorrow and I agreed to pick them up at her house tomorrow morning. 

I started reading THE LIGHT by Mike Evans (who I met in Israel in 2917).  It is a novel and I don't think Evans is a good writer, but so far I like the book and will stick with it.

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 helper...

 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. ...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...
