October 15th and 16th, 2021

10/15    I accompanied Carrie and the medical liaison to Mt. St. Mary's Hospital so Carrie could have an ultrasound.   After that I went to a fall bazaar at Messiah Lutheran Church in Lewiston.  I bought ten dollars worth of tickets and deposited most of them in a basket that had three leather like travel bags.  I went to DeCamillo's and bought a piece of pizza and a pumpkin pie.  I went to Hibbards and had a small chocolate custard (and a few LACTO pills).  

In the evening I talked with Peggy, Betty, Myrna and Elaine and Connie on the phone.  Tomorrow, I will pick up two turkey dinners at the Emmanuel Methodist Church and take them to Myrna's place so she and I can have supper together.

10/16   I was thinking about going to the library to the last day of the book sale when you pay a couple of dollars and can fill up a bag, but I decided not to.  I was finishing up baking a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for tomorrows CONNECT luncheon when Peggy and David arrived.  David took the screen door off in the doorway off of Carrie's room, in preparation for Home Depot coming to install the new door.

While I was listening to Ben Shapiro interview Bari Weiss,


I was able to find her podcast page and listened to a couple of them.  She seems really down to earth, and encourages people to listen to the opinions of those on the other side and be willing to change their minds (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT MY MINDSET IS).  I think I will be listening to her podcasts a LOT.  

I left the house a little bit after four p.m. to go to the church.  Chiavetta's take out was supposed to start at four thirty but the parking lot was almost filled up and there were lots of people in line.  I think I was around the twentieth or twenty fifth.  Once the line started moving, it kept moving steadily.  I picked up two dinners and took them over to Myrna's house.  We had supper together and visited for a while.  I gave her the bag with magazines and salt water taffy in it that Louise asked me to deliver.  Myrna gave me one of her four tray tables, it  matches one that I already have.  

I got caught up on BIG SKY after I got home from Myrna's place.

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 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.
