June 12, 2021 SCAVENGER HUNT, ROAD RALLY

 Today was the day!  Betty, Elaine and I met up at my house and went over the rules and information and then we headed to the History Center. 


 We handed in our waivers,  got the questions we needed to answer  and headed out.  The first several minutes went smoothly but things got harder and it wasn't long before we could not really follow the directions.   We muddled along, turning around a few times and all of a sudden we were driving along the river headed to Youngstown. We stopped to see this because we thought it might be one of the spots on the list we had, but we realized it wasn't.

We decided it might be a good time to admit we were lost and call the number given to us. It was the number for the Erie Canal Discovery Center.  Nobody answered the phone, so I left a message, and then I called the History Center and told the woman who answered the phone that we were quitting and she agreed to get the message to the right person so that they wouldn't wait for us.  

We had lunch at THE STONE JUG  in the ONTARIO HOUSE


on Main Street in Youngstown.  I had a deli sandwich


which was not outstanding.  Elaine's beef on weck  looked good and she enjoyed it.  We rambled around  Youngstown (where we ran into these guys)  and Lewiston, looking for a place to sit where we could see the river.  We ended up at the end of Center Street in Lewiston, at THE SILO.  We found a good spot to sit and watch the river, which was beautiful today.  







Before we went home, we stopped at HIBBARD'S for custard.  

I found BLUE MURDER on the new TV(on FilmRise)  and watched part of the first season.  I think I will like this series.

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...
