Peg and I, and often Betty and Becky have gone to this event in the past, and enjoyed it.  Peg and David and I met up at their house, and took my car and went to Hartland for this today. 

We had arranged to meet up with Betty and Elaine Edmister.   

Usually, the turkey dinner is served inside, but due to the pandemic, they were all take-out, but they had tables and chairs set up outside.  We snagged a table for six.   The meal was outstanding! 


They gave me gravy on the side, and desert was apple crisp.  Everything was delicious and I ate every bite.  Becky joined us but we were pretty much done eating when she sat down.  I went back in to look at the baskets 

But I decided to not purchase tickets, because there was only item that interested me: a purse in fall colors and I really do not need another purse.   Peg, David and I were the first to leave because we wanted to go to the basket raffle at Odd Fellows Home.   Before leaving, we took group pictures.  

At the basket raffle at ODD FELLOWS, Peg and I each bought five dollars worth of tickets.  We left before the drawing.  


When we got back to Lockport, we went to the Saturday market so Peggy could get some corn, but they were all out.  We went to Niagara Produce to get corn as well as some frozen lobster  tails and a large piece of prime rib.  David is going to prepare the lobster and prime rib tomorrow.  When I got home I started potato salad and I will also make a desert.  

I got an email from Leslie saying that she won first prize for her painting, done during a festival in a park in Auburn.  I wish I had her artistic talent.


I watched a few episodes of BULL in the evening.

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...

 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. ...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...
