Sunday October 24th, 2021 Return to Walton Woods

 I picked Maggie up for church this morning.  Church was good!   After church, Betty suggested that we go to the refuge to walk the SWALLOW HOLLOW trail.  I agreed.   Before leaving church, we asked Cindi if she wanted to go with us.  She said she wanted to, but would need some time to pick up lunch for her husband who has been working all weekend on fixing a leak in their house.   I needed to run home and change clothing and shoes, and Betty offered to pick me up there.  We went to Wendy's for lunch and called Cindi who suggested we wait for her at Wendy's and she would pick us up as soon as she finished her lunch.  By that time, though, we had changed our mind and decided to go to WALTON WOODS in Amherst.  Betty and I had been there before.  

Cindi picked us up and we headed out.  We found it easily enough and set off on the trailhead closest to where we were parked.  We had a nice walk.  I forgot to take my camera.  Betty took several pictures and I asked her to send them to me.  

On the way home, I suggested that we go somewhere for desert and said I would treat.   Both Betty and Cindi agreed and we talked about various possibilities on our way back to Lockport.  We decided on OLIVE LEAF, but wondered if it would be open (it was not) so we went to PANERA's.  I bought a danish so we could share it.  It was very good.  We sat and talked for a while.

I called Paula in the evening and we set Thursday to get together for lunch.  I did my homework for the Freedom Group.  It appears that Peggy has a gastroenterologist appointment for the time of the group, so I might be leading it.

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.
