Friday, February 5th, 2021 At Home

 It was very cold and windy today.  I decided to stay home and get a few things done.  I was glad that someone from the Glen Iris called and I was able to reserve a room for Leslie and I for our get together the end of May, to celebrate our birthdays.  I emailed her the information.

I did a few organizational jobs in my dining area, mostly straightening out part of the sewing cabinet on the way above my microwave, so that I could have a spot to put tape and glue, freeing up an outside shelf on that cabinet for most of my collection of Fenton Hobnail Salt Cellars.    Like these on etsy  

Except I have two round ones.  I always look for more in antique shops, but never find any more.  My grandmother Niethe had one or two of the blue square ones which is why I started to collect these several years ago.

Betty called to tell me she got a new Verizon phone.  Peggy called to suggest I try again to schedule a COVID vaccination since she was able to schedule one for David the day before we leave for HHI.  I tried, but no luck, I can't drive to Plattsburgh or Potsdam.

After talking to Connie in the evening, I checked out ON DEMAND to see if there was anything on PBS that interested me.  I watched this

Forgotten Genius

Against all odds, African-American chemist Percy Julian became one of the great scientists of the 20th century.

and it was excellent!

I AM FULLY VACCINATED April 12, 2021

 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...

 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...

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...
