December 27th at home with Carrie

 Both Carrie and I slept in a bit this morning, which meant for a late breakfast.  We both had oatmeal with banana slices.  Very good.  It took me a while to wake fully up even though I did not take a sleeping pill last night.  

After Carrie was dressed and settled for the day, I checked my facebook, and a memory from 2014 came up.  It was the day Becky and I went to Niagara Falls to the Power Vista to see the decorated Christmas trees.  Also, that day I made sweet potato soup!  Reading about it made me hungry so I decided to make sweet potato soup again, so I could use up some of the leftover ham.   

I read a bit of THE SISTERS BROTHERS off and on in the morning.  I called US Bank and requested forgiveness of interest and late penalty, for a bill that I am sure I paid online at Citizens Bank.  I guess it is possible that I neglected to click on the last PAY BILL.  Anyways, the fees were forgiven, and I went online and paid the updated bill.  

Peg stopped over to see Carrie and bring me some cider.  I gave her some of the soup I made this morning.  We discussed the "door" issue.  I am going to call Home Depot tomorrow and see if I can get my $1,500 back.  

Betty called in the evening to tell me that her son in laws sister, Liz, is now on hospice care. Liz has been battling cancer for a few years.   I got to know her before COVID hit, I went along with Betty when she took Liz to Roswell and Buffalo General a couple of times and visited her a few times in her home in Middleport.  I talked to her about accepting Christ as her Saviour while she was in Roswell a few years ago.  Peggy talked to her about it more recently. 

I called Myrna and we talked for a while.  She had a nice Christmas.  I told her that the ticket for the drive through Christmas lights at the fairgrounds that I gave her will be good through January 2nd.  I was happy to hear that two of her three daughters have already used it! I sure got my money's worth out of that ticket.

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 ...
