Tuesday, August 24, 2021 to Oneonta and back to Auburn: lots of geocaching (DAY TWO of TRIP)

 Leslie and I left Auburn a few minutes before nine a.m. and headed to Oneonta.  We arrived a bit after noon.  I got gas and we went to the GREEN EARTH where Leslie got some items and then to BROOKS, where we picked up chicken dinners.  We met up with Carol at Wilber Park.  She has a new truck.


  Connie had called her and told her that she could not join us. 

Carol, Leslie and I had our lunch and I called Connie and asked if we could go over to her place and visit her for a little while and she said she was waiting for several phone calls and we would not be able to have an uninterrupted visit. The three of us found the geocache hidden in the Little Library behind El Fartero's house. 


His back yard backs up to the lower level of Wilber Park. Before leaving Oneonta, we stopped at the HISTORY CENTER, but the fellow that Leslie wanted to see was not available.

We headed north to Cooperstown and stopped for a snack and cold drink at the McDonalds there and we used their free wifi and got information for several geocaches on our route home. 

EXTRA CHEESE is hidden in a row of rocks in front of the Pizza Hut in Cooperstown, which is now empty.

BASSETT HOUND is hidden in a lamppost outside a pet supply store in Cooperstown.

PINE WOODS REST STOP Leslie found this, I quit because  I was being attacked by mosquitos.

We did not find FULMER TANK, because we would have had to walk through puddles in grass to get to it.

We arrived back at Leslie's place around nine p.m.  had water melon for a snack and uploaded pics to my computer, then to bed.  I slept great!!!!!!

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...
