10/21/21 CareNet Banquet

I picked up a script at Rite Aid before going to FREEDOM CHURCH for Peggy's Freedom Group, which went very well.

After that, Peg came over to my place and we took the air conditioner out of the upstairs apartment and she helped me figure out how to put a new battery in one of my sensors for my alarm system, and also put a new battery in the thermostat upstairs.  

I chose an outfit to wear tonight and laid it out and changed purses before taking a nap.  When I got up, the phone was ringing and it was Elaine who told me that I should arrive ten minutes earlier than we had agreed on.  So I hurried up and got dressed, but I didn't like the way the white lacy top I chose fit, so I quick chose a different top and different jewelry and I arrived at Elaine's place on time.  

We arrived a few minutes early at CLASSICS V. 



 When I tried to register, I was told that I needed tickets for the four of us, so I went in and found Peggy who was able to give me two tickets.   Anyways, they let us in and we found our table

and that was when I found out that I was TABLE HOSTESS.  Peggy had not mentioned that to me before.  

At my table, there were me, Elaine, Crystal and Bonnie, Cindy and Jack Landrigan and Steve and Danielle.  (Steve is the guy with the great voice, who is on the worship team at church). 

                                                          Me and Elaine
                                                Jack and Cindi
Bonnie and Crystal


 I bid on the silent auction for the water purification system, but apparently someone overbid me.  The program was good.  The meal was turkey, stuffing,

mashed potatoes, string beans, rolls and butter and ice cream with chocolate sauce for desert. 

The program was simpler than usual, without a guest speaker.  There were slides and narratives regarding the center and the program. 



 We spent a bit of time honoring Cindra, who almost died from COVID last year.  

 Table hosts and hostesses were given the centerpieces.  Peggy gave me a second centerpiece because she did not want it and neither did anyone else at her table, so I took it and gave it to Elaine as  THANK YOU for driving.  Here is mine:  


Before getting to her house, Elaine drove down Crosby Street so we could see the three popular Halloween decorated houses.  I might return and take pictures some evening.  They are quite spectacular!!!

When I got home, I made some popcorn and sat down to watch SVU, but Christa called to tell me that her facebook account has disappeared and she thinks her neighbor with whom there has been some friction, is responsible.  Indeed, when I tried to find her on FB, I could not find her.  We arranged to stay in touch online other ways.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

 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 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

Week of Sunday September 8th through Saturday September 14, 2024 (new password info)

 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 and mild Italian sausage and one package of ZWEIGLES hot dogs.
