 Church was excellent this morning except for when Pastor Craig announced that someone from our congregation has COVID.  I am hoping and praying that this person did not spread it to others before his or her diagnosis. (this has happened twice before at FREEDOM).   Pastor Craig still has not recovered his sense of taste and smell, which COVID took away from him several months ago.  

After church I offered Betty one of my REID's  gift cards and we met up there for a quick lunch.  When I got home (and changed into my pajamas) I tried to reach Linda by phone, but she did not answer.  I decided to bite the bullet and see if I could get my new sleeping bag back into its cloth bag.  It took a bit of effort, but I got it in.  

I reached Linda by phone at two thirty p.m. and we talked for an hour and a half.  She is still working even though she is 66 and collecting her Social Security because her agency does not have enough aides to take over the care of the very ill Indian man she cares for three nights a week.  Linda and her sister are barely speaking because of political differences.  I think she really needed someone to vent to.  Her Aunt Penny's birthday is today so I told Linda I will email her later on.

Leslie called just as I was finishing up my supper. She returned from her Texas trip two days ago and attended a geo-event at Pratts Falls yesterday.   We discussed our upcoming trip to Letchworth State Park.

Jan and I agreed to meet at the Y at ten a.m. tomorrow morning to walk the track and then go to the History Center for the art exhibit.  She is interested in the book about Glenwood Cemetery that Mike and Jen helped put together that is being sold at the HC.   Marlene called and she is going to drop off her list of questions for the AAA travel agent that she and I will meet with on Tuesday after Life Group.

I watched the third episode of ATLANTIC CROSSING on PBS in the evening.

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

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 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
