Wed. August 25th, 2021 DAY THREE of AUBURN Trip

 August 25th geocaching etc

Leslie gave me a ride to the Auburn library before  she started her volunteer job delivering MEALS ON WHEELS.  I was able to check email, facebook, update my blog and add some pictures to flickr.  I also retrieved phone messages from home.  There were 8 new messages: several from Connie, two from Carol K. and one from Christa.  She called Monday evening saying that she was stressed out and needed to talk to me.  I messaged her back on FB and told her I would call her tonight.  From the library, I called Screwy Louie's in Fair Haven and asked if they had a cabin available for tonight and tomorrow night and they said YES.

When Leslie returned to the library to pick me up I asked her if she was interested in going up to Fair Haven for two nights.  She seemed a bit reluctant at first, but agreed. So, I called SL's and reserved cabin #3 for two nights.

Back at her apartment, Leslie prepared lunch and we got packed up.  When we were both ready, we headed north to Fair Haven.  Our cabin was ready when we arrived.  We settled in a bit and then drove to Sterling to geocache.

We found the one at the LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE



and the STERLING STEEL ANGEL.  We drove to the Sterling Nature Center just to check it out, and we saw the site of the Sterling Renaissance Faire.  I stopped at a small stand and purchased a jar of bread and butter pickles.  

We looked for a geocache in an area with some trails that seemed different, on both sides of the road, but we were not successful. 






When we were getting ready to give up, a couple of ATV's with SHERIFF'S drove out on one of the trails.  

For supper we decided to go to TURTLE COVE, which was a tiny bit hard to find.  It is right on the cove, and had live music. 



The owner/manager took our order (I requested take out since it was getting late and I was concerned about driving after dark in

an unfamiliar area.  I had a turkey club


and Leslie ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. When I was paying the bill at the bar, I picked up a painted rock.   


 We took our sandwiches  back to our cabin and ate there.  My sandwich was HUGE, and I was only able to eat half of it and I bagged the other two quarters up for our lunch tomorrow.  

I think we finally got settled in to go to sleep at around ten p.m.

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

 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
