Wednesday, December 22, 2021 I went to the PALACE again!!!!!

I did a few things around the house this morning, including chopping the onion and browning the ground beef for the COWBOY BEANS I will prepare for Christmas Day,  and made arrangements for Carrie to come home for a couple of days after Christmas and then went to Aldi's and Dollar General for a few items that I need. 


I met up with Jan at the Palace Theatre at 12:45 so we could watch the very old movie (1954) WHITE CHRISTMAS.  There were only 12 to 15 people at the most in the theatre.  I had never before seen the movie.  I enjoyed it.  I love going to the PALACE, because I spent so many happy hours there (mostly on Saturday afternoons) when I was a kid.   I didn't appreciate the beauty of the inside, with the murals, etc. then, but I do now, especially since it was recently restored.  

After the movie, I suggested we go someplace for a bite to eat.  We decided to go to SCRIPTS which is right next to the theatre.  I had a cup of soup and half of a club sandwich.  I was going to go to the library to read the current newspapers, but it was snowing kind of heavily and I decided to go straight home.  

I spent the rest of the day relaxing.  I read some of THE SISTERS BROTHERS.   I called Paula to wish her a Merry Christmas and ask how her trip to Las Vegas was.  Sounds like she had a good time. I happened to look out the front window around eight p.m. and saw a fellow shoveling my sidewalk.  It must be Chuck, who lives around the corner next door to Mr. Whalen.  I think there is about two inches of snow.  

I settled in to watch  a western SADDLE TRAMP (1950) on GRIT TV.

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 ...
