December 30th, 2021 at Home with C.S. Lewis and The Spanish Princess

 I did not sleep well last night, but that is getting to be a regular thing.  In the morning, when checking facebook I saw info. about a movie about C.S. Lewis.   It is available on FB for a price, so I did a search on my ROKU TV.  I found a documentary with a similar title; I am pretty sure it is not the movie advertised on FB.  I turned it on and watched part of it.


I called Peggy and suggested that since she has to work tomorrow, we might do our traditional New Years Eve dinner on a different day, but she thinks tomorrow will be the best, and most likely she will not work a full day.  

I called HOOKS SHOES in Amherst to see if they have any toe cushions because the toes on my left foot are acting up.  I am wearing a makeshift pillow, by turning a right foot cushion over and it is working, but I think I should get an appropriate one.   They have them.  Betty will pick me up  tomorrow morning at ten and we will head south and I will treat her to lunch in exchange for driving. I found three restaurants that are open for lunch tomorrow, some places are closed due to it being New Years Eve.

I decided to work on taking down some of my Christmas decorations, only leaving the lighted items intact.  I had intended to leave them up until after January 1st, but since I will stay home today (having been out a good portion of yesterday and going out tomorrow) it seems like today is a good day.  

I made good progress with getting Christmas stuff organized better than it has been in the past.  I decided that I should separate out my Christmas glass items and I made room in the cupboard above my refrigerator.   I took several items from that cupboard that I have NEVER used, not since I moved here, some mine and some stuff that belonged to Dad and Martha (I guess).   I may take the items upstairs and put them in the kitchen cupboards or I may donate them to the GOOD WILL.  

After I finished watching the show about C S Lewis, I watched more of THE SPANISH PRINCESS.  According to wikipedia, it is a sequel to the miniseries The White Queen and The White Princess.

I AM FULLY VACCINATED April 12, 2021

 Before going into the City of Niagara Falls, New York for my second COVID vaccination, I went to the Fashion Outlet Mall on Military Road to go to OLD NAVY.  I had a coupon for twenty dollars off of a purchase totaling fifty dollars or more.   I was hoping to find some spring short sleeved tops.  What I did find was a pair of "khaki's" for fifteen dollars and then I picked out a t-shirt that can be worn with those pants.  I was able to redeem my coupon and get the outfit for $15.00.   I don't really like the khaki pants but they fit snugly, are lightweight and will be good to wear for hiking, so that I will be able to see any ticks that land on me.    Then I headed to the Conference Center in the falls.  I parked in the same place and since I was early and needed to use a rest room, I went over to the Culinary Institute where I knew there was a clean ladies room.   My plans were to go to the Barnes and Noble and to the ba...

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...
