Sept. 27th and 28th

Monday the 27th of September:

  I stayed home today.  I went outside twice and raked leaves and picked up walnuts.  Both walnut trees are working overtime this year.  I think I may have taken care of HALF of them.I worked on a list to give to Cindy tomorrow of things I plan to take on our "camping" trip to ASP.  I read part of Peggy's book since I hope to finish it before I leave on Sunday October third.  


Tuesday:  the 28th of September

I went to the Tuesday Morning Ladies Life Group.  We had a pretty good sized group.  Rachel is here in order to help her mother, who she fears is not going to survive various serious health problems.  Diana is 74 years old.  Also, Paula Huntington returned, she had not been to this group for quite a while.  And, Marlene returned for the first time since having COVID.   She appears a bit pale and weak, and won't be returning to work for at least a few more weeks.  I left as soon as the meeting ended since I did not want to go out to lunch today since I had some things to do.   After shopping for a new SD card for my camera, I went to Rite Aid to get my prescription eye drops.  I was disappointed because even though I was told they would be in YESTERDAY, they are not yet in.   When I got home, I found a phone message from Erin at the DALE ASSOCIATION.  I called her right back and made an appointment to meet with her tomorrow at nine thirty a.m.  She offers help with technology/computers/etc. and hopefully she will be able to help me figure out how to delete pictures that I upload to my computer.  

I made some calls hoping to find a couple of people who want to go to the CARENET Banquet next month.  Elaine said YES !!!  and offered to drive.  Bonnie also said yes and will ride with Elaine and I.  Betty said no.  Elaine is going to invite Nancy and let me know.  I also read several pages of Peggy's book and I am almost finished.  I will be able to give her the rest of the book before I leave on Sunday for ASP.  

extra notes:   Today (28th)  offered me a test of my listening skills.  Rachel sat at the table I was at this morning and told me all about her husband, Rocky's death, in great detail.  Then tonight, Bonnie seemed to need to talk about her sister who suffers from depression and her other sister who has a plan to end her own life if she ever feels sure that she is developing dementia, as well as her drug addicted  nephew who has conned his mother out of lots of money.  YIKES.

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

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
