Thursday, October 28th, 2021 LIFE GROUP and SIMPLY PIEROGI

 I got up a bit early and reviewed my plan for today's FREEDOM GROUP.  I arrived at the church  early and made sure that the heat was on, and the room was arranged to suit me.  Pastor Craig happened to come down and he asked me how I was, and when I told him that I would be leading Peggy's FREEDOM GROUP, he offered to pray for me, WHICH WAS GREAT and he offered some encouragement.  

People started arriving a couple of minutes before ten a.m. and I started the meeting going around five minutes after.  Everything went smoothly and there was a LOT of discussion.  I think it went well, and now I feel more confident about doing this, which is good since I will be leading the group twice while Peg and David are on vacation next month.

When the meeting finished, I called Paula and she picked me up at the church and we headed to SIMPLY PIEROGI which is one part of CHRUSIKI'S in Williamsville, at the Eastern Hills Mall. 


There is a sit down restaurant, Simply Pierogi (which is cafeteria style) and the bakery.   We had a nice lunch to celebrate her birthday.    I ordered two items:  The Senior Special (which is five assorted pierogi's and a huge piece of sausage, and the potato pancakes.   The Senior Special was really good but I did not care for the potato pancakes.  I gave one to Paula and she agreed with me.  It seemed to be made out of mashed potatoes rather than shredded potatoes.   We also had a desert:  I chose  a chocolate croissant and Paula had something covered with dark chocolate. .  We had a good time together and agreed to get together next week and go to the Iroquois for a hike.

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 started feeling kind of shaky and week during worship at church this morning.  So, I had to tell Marlene that I needed to go home after church instead of going to North Tonawanda with her.  Our plans had been to go to Joey's Place for lunch and then to the Riviera Theatre for the free organ concert by Camden Church.  I stopped at Mark's and got a slice of pizza to take home for my lunch.  It was not very good; I am sure it was left over from yesterday.  I found an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES on Hoopla and watched most of one episode until I started dozing off on the couch.  I spent the rest of the day resting at home, but I started working on planning for Thursday mornings FREEDOM GROUP, which I will be facilitating.   MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment and then went to the Y where I walked 15 minutes and then used the recumbent bike for five minutes. Then I returned a bottle of cranberry juice to Aldi and got a refund.  I spent the rest of the day at ho

Week of Sunday, March 17th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023

 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
