 I slept very poorly last night even though I took TWO sleeping pills.   After breakfast, I decided it would be a good day to do some shopping especially since I was all out of milk.   I went to Home Depot and puchased a smoke detector to replace the one that broke recently (one of those that is supposed to last for ten years, YEAH RIGHT!!!).............it was the replacement for the first one that gave up the ghost after a couple of years) and I also purchased batteries for all of my smoke detectors, and I will ask David to check them on Thanksgiving Day.   I went to THE DOLLAR TREE and purchased items for my Christmas Child box and a couple of other items.  Then I went to Aldi to get milk and bananas.  However, I purchased a LOT more than that.  I stocked up a bit on toilet paper and paper towels.  

I purchased a salt lamp that changes colors. 


However, I am going to return it because it does not have a plug on the end (the kind that would go into an electrical outlet) and it does not have an on/off switch.  

After lunch, I sliced some small skinny cucumbers and put them in the saved pickle juice from a jar of sweet pickles. 

I just tried one and it is really good.  I anticipate that they will be better after sitting in the frig longer.  
Then I took a really good nap................I think I slept two full hours or maybe a bit less.  

I talked to Betty on the phone and it looks like she, Myrna, Elaine E. and I will be going to Rochester on Wednesday for a late lunch at the GOLDEN CORRAL.  That means I will not be able to pick up a chicken cacciatore dinner at UCC.  I called Elaine and told her.

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

 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.
