 Peggy's LIFE GROUP was this morning at FREEDOM CHURCH.  It was just Peggy, Betty and I, with Bobbie on virtual.  It was a very good meeting.  We are still working on BECOMING A WOMAN OF FREEDOM, which we started last fall.  We took a hiatus when COVID reared its ugly head.  

After leaving FREEDOM, I went to WENDY'S and purchased a five dollar BIGGEE BAG.  It is a drink, a sandwich (I chose crispy chicken) fries and chicken nuggets.  It is a pretty good deal.  I did not eat the whole thing, mostly because I had an appointment at THE CUTTING CREW to have my hair done.  I have decided to go gray, but I was really hating how it looked to have a huge white/gray stripe down the middle of my head.  I called them the other day and explained my predicament and asked if there was anything they could do to help me out and was told to come in at noon the next day (yesterday).  Laura had a long look at me and told me that she thought highlighting my hair that still has color on it might help to give me a more blended look rather than the two colors GRAY and BROWN, which was starting to look just awful.  So, I had to be there today at 12:30.  It was a long process, but I am pleased with the results.  I also had her cut an inch off.   I made an appointment to return a couple of days before I leave for HILTON HEAD ISLAND, to have it refreshed.  It is a three plus hour procedure, but Laura is talkative and I had a book with me.  I was happy to have a chance to tell her about the book THE HIDING PLACE by Corrie ten Boom.  It turns out that Laura is a believer, but there were other people in the salon who heard me explain Corrie's story about forgiving the man who tortured her and her sister in one of Hitler's camps, that she knew she had to forgive him because of how Jesus had forgiven her.  

When I got home I called Leslie since we had talked this morning about the possibility of going to a nature event at Allegany State Park.  It appeared that there was one cottage available this morning, but it was gone.  So, scratch that idea (which I loved), but we are still going to try to make plans to do something together to celebrate our June birthdays.  

I finished this book:  

It was good, but not exceptional.

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

 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
