12/17 Shopping and Concert

 NYSEG came and the guy said there is nothing wrong with the meter.   Shortly after he left, I headed out to get Christmas groceries.  First to Aldi where I purchased the ham and a few other items.  Next to WalMart where I purchased some items that I could not get at Aldi and then to TOPS.  At TOPS, I was mainly looking for ALMOND PASTE for a recipe I saw this morning on FB.  TOPS did have it, and it was on sale which is good since it is kind of expensive.  Then I delivered the ham to David who will prepare it on Christmas Day, and then bring it to my house for our Christmas dinner.  

I forgot to mention that when I stopped to get gas, my USBANK card was rejected.  So, when I got home, I called and was told that there had been problems with the mail, that other people have called about them, and that may be the reason why I did not get my bill and pay it.  I was told the amount and I agreed to pay it online thru my bank and then to call back when I get the next bill and request removal of the fees and penalties.    

I met up with Marlene, Betty and Elaine at the First Presbyterian Church at seven p.m. for the organ concert.


Dee was going to join us, but she could not get warmed up after her doctors appointment earlier today.  I also invited Lori Rivers, but she did not get back to me in time.

  It was a really good event.  We stayed for refreshments after, they offered warm mulled punch and cookies.  

After I left the church, I drove down Hawley Street to see the well decorated house.

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 ...
