Out and About with Jan: October 22, 2021

Jan and I had agreed a couple of days ago to get together and do something today ( Friday October 22, 2021).   When I called her this morning, I suggested we go to GLENWOOD CEMETERY and find some of the gravesites in this book. 


So we met up at my house and I drove.

When we got to the cemetery, we found that it was very hard to follow the map and find the spots highlighted on it.  So we wandered around a bit (in the car) and checked out the newer buildings where caskets are stacked.  By the time we were ready to leave it was lunch time and we decided to go to DENNYS because Jan was in the mood for pancakes.

We had lunch and then went to the YMCA where we walked the track for close to a half hour and then spent some time on the recumbent bikes.  Jan signed up for the upcoming November craft class.  When I picked up a flier for this class I noticed that the date on the flier was one week earlier than the date that both she and I had signed up for.  We mentioned this to the fellow running the front desk and he checked and agreed that there is a discrepancy.  I asked if Joanna was in today and he said she was not, but that he would leave a note for her about it.  (Joanna runs the craft nights).

On the way back to my house, I asked Jan if she wanted to see some Halloween displays.  She said yes, so I took her to Crosby Street.   

The owner was working on his project.

These are some of the pictures I took.  I don't even like Halloween but I found this interesting.  At night it is all lit up and on weekends it is animated, too.

I decided to try uploading those pictures to my chrome book instead of my laptop.  I learned how to do that with help from a tech at the Dale Association before my ASP trip but I took my laptop with me instead of my chrome book because I thought I would be taking TOO MANY pictures to upload to the chrome book since it has a smaller amount of download space.  In the meantime, I kind of forgot how to d/l pics to the chromebook, but I figured it out again and it worked.  BUT, I need to do it more often so that it becomes easier and quicker.

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 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 ...
