Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 Golden Corral

 First thing in the morning, I ran over to FREEDOM CHURCH to pick up a copy of the Leaders Notes for tomorrow's FREEDOM GROUP.  I also dropped off some food to the Little Food Pantry behind the Emmanuel Methodist Church.   Then I went home and got ready to go to Rochester with Betty, Myrna and Elaine E.  Betty picked me up first and then we went to get Myrna and then to Gasport to pick up Elaine and then we headed to Rochester to have lunch at THE GOLDEN CORRAL.

When we got close to Rochester, Betty said "Elaine, how do we get there?" and Elaine said she did not know.  I had offered to do a mapquest a couple of weeks ago, but Betty said not to since Elaine knew how to get there. UGH.  Anyways we got to the restaurant fairly easily


thanks to the directions we were given by a woman we asked.  It is a BUFFET restaurant. The senior price is a little over eleven dollars.  We all enjoyed our meals.   They could have used a lot more labels and having them all in the right spot would have helped!  The sign said coleslaw, but it turned out to be crab salad.  I started with a small salad before getting some REAL food.   The grilled barbeque chicken and the sweet potato casserole were delicious.  I made sure to have several small servings of vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, brussell sprouts.   For desert I had a small portion of bread pudding and a bite of chocolate fudge.   They even offered cotton candy, and I went up and got some which Elaine and Myrna enjoyed.  

We ran into a bit of trouble on the way home, trying to avoid going on expressways, and we ended up driving through Rochester, but we were always headed in the right direction and did not have to backtrack.

Elaine gave me ten dollars to give to Betty for gas.  I added ten dollars to it and slipped it into Betty's purse when she went into Elaine's house to use her bathroom.  When Betty dropped me off, I got out of the car and just before closing the car door I said "I slipped twenty dollars into your purse, its gas money from Elaine and I.  Don't say "no", and I closed the car door before she could answer me.  But she opened her window and hollered "No" before I got to my front door.  

It was close to six p.m. when we arrived back in Lockport.   I worked on my lesson plans for tomorrows FREEDOM GROUP, took a shower and washed my hair.

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.
