FIRST DAY OF SPRING: March 20, 2021

 The phone rang at 8:10 am and woke me up.  It was Betty and she wanted to know if I wanted to meet her at the refuge for a hike.  We agreed to meet there at 11:00 a.m.  I got up and then remembered that I said I would bake corn muffins and make egg custard for supper with Peggy and David.  So, I got to work.  First making the muffins out of a cornbread mix I purchased a couple of months ago at TRADER JOE's.  Then I made the custard.  Then I realized that I would not be ready to leave at 10:30 unless I skipped taking a shower, which I felt I needed. So, I called Betty and changed the time to meet to 11:30.  Then I got the idea to call Marlene to see if she wanted to join us.  She agreed to meet Betty and I at the barns in front of the Kanyoo Trails.  I also called Peg and invited her, but she said she had to run errands.  We set five p.m. for me to join them at their house for supper.  

The three of us met and had a nice long walk on the Feeder Canal Trail.  We saw lots of birds including many swans.  I took several pictures.

  We had some good conversation.  When we finished up hiking and were back in the parking area, I offered both of them a corn muffin.  I was surprised at how good they turned out.  

I had a light, late lunch at home and then rested a bit.  

I had supper with David and Peggy at their house. They prepared a corned beef cabbage with all the trimmings.  Plus, Peggy made a fruit salad.  Everything was delicious.  They both really liked the corn muffins, so I left the rest with them.  

I got home in time to watch the first episode of SENSE AND SENSIBILITIES, but realized that I have already watched this series.  Myrna called and we talked for a while.  She is not going to church tomorrow, but she asked me to save a seat for her granddaughter.

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 helper...

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. ...

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 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 go...
