 I called my plow guy this morning and he said would be here this afternoon.   It is four p.m. and I am still waiting.  Betty was planning on picking up spaghetti dinners for her and I at SOLID ROCK, but she called a few minutes ago and told me that her son in laws sister, Liz, is "imminent" meaning that she will pass away today.  Hospice is there (I assume the Hospice nurse diagnosed this.  Liz's mother, son and granddaughter are there.  Her brother, Scott, and his wife, Debby (Betty's daughter) are attempting to book a flight.   I got to know Liz during several drives to Roswell, when I went along in order to keep Betty company.  This is the only picture I have of Liz, taken in December of 2019 at the CONNECT Christmas event.  Liz is on the right, with Betty on the left.

Liz is around sixty years old, I think, and she lost her husband several years ago.  I once visited his gravesite with her and Betty.

I mopped the bathroom floor this morning and vacuumed the living room.  I called the eye doctors office and cancelled tomorrows appointment because I was not sure I would be able to get out.  (the city plow left a huge hill of snow in front of my driveway, and also when I can get out, I have to tend to having my tire pressure checked since a light came on this past Saturday when I was on the way home from the funeral. 

I ordered my free Covid tests from the government.  It was incredibly easy to do.  

Betty called me around five p.m. and suggested we go out for supper.  I didn't want to go since I had already taken lasagna out of the freezer and put a butternut squash in the oven, but she sounded a bit desperate.  She picked me up and we went to THE OLIVE LEAF.  I had the baked ziti, the portion was HUGE.   

Betty said that her daughter Debby and Scott are looking for a flight, hoping to get here before Liz passes away.  I don't think they will make it.  

My PLOW GUY did NOT come this afternoon.  Good  thing I cancelled my eye appointment for tomorrow.  As soon as he does come, I will get the car out of the garage and if that light is still on, I will call Beaumans or PepBoys and get the tire pressure checked.  

Betty called around seven thirty to tell me that Liz passed away.  She asked me to call Peggy and tell her, so I did.

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

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 SUNDAY:  I started feeling kind of shaky and week during worship at church this morning.  So, I had to tell Marlene that I needed to go home after church instead of going to North Tonawanda with her.  Our plans had been to go to Joey's Place for lunch and then to the Riviera Theatre for the free organ concert by Camden Church.  I stopped at Mark's and got a slice of pizza to take home for my lunch.  It was not very good; I am sure it was left over from yesterday.  I found an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES on Hoopla and watched most of one episode until I started dozing off on the couch.  I spent the rest of the day resting at home, but I started working on planning for Thursday mornings FREEDOM GROUP, which I will be facilitating.   MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment and then went to the Y where I walked 15 minutes and then used the recumbent bike for five minutes. Then I returned a bottle of cranberry juice to Aldi and got a refund.  I spent the rest of the day at ho
