SALT AND LIGHT REIGNITES FESTIVAL: Saturday, July 24th, 2021

 Peg and I met with a technician at HOME DEPOT this morning in order to choose and order a door.  This turned out to be kind of a nightmare with the technician having the wrong paperwork at first, which wasted time.  Then we had a hard time finding a way to order a door that would fit.  Apparently, they don't make the size we need anymore.  Then when Peg, the tech and I went to pick out a lock and doorknob for the door one of her associates thought she was done with her computer and shut down the program in which she was working.  This necessitated starting all over.  All in all, I think we were there for over two hours.  

After dropping Peggy off, I went home and called Betty.  I was pretty sure it was too late for us to count on getting a chicken dinner at the Salt and Light Festival, but Betty insisted that if I left right away, we might not be too late.  So, I did leave right away, and picked Berty and Elaine E. up at Elaine's house, but by the time we got there, all of the Chiavetta's chicken dinners were sold out.  So, we went to NES on 104 and purchased subs and took them to Elaine's house and ate there.  Then we returned to the festival.  Dee was there with Robyn and Kim Wilson.  We sat with them. 




A little later, Ron and Vicky  arrived.  The music was RENEE,

the same duo from two years ago.  The speaker Craig Scott was excellent..  He is the younger brother of Rachel Joy Scott who was murdered at Columbine High School in 1999.  He showed this picture of them together. 

  He was present during the shooting, and a friend next to him in the library,

where they were hiding under a table, was murdered.  

After the program was over, I dropped Elaine off at her house and Betty and I headed back to Lockport.  She left her car with one of Elaine's relatives who is working the car, so that it will pass inspection before the end of July.

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

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
