January 8th, 2022 Saturday at Home and Sunday 1/9

 SATURDAY:  I decided to NOT go to Pam Nimetz funeral.  I did not know her.  I think I only said "hello' to her once.  And under the circumstances, I think the family would only want family and close friends there, not people who didn't know her.  

ONE small MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !!!!!    I called a fellow from the local LIONS CLUB a few days ago and asked if they had any need for used wheelchairs and offered him THREE wheelchairs that have basically been taking up space in my apartment.  He came this morning and took all three.  He said they will not have any problems matching the wheelchairs to a person who needs them.  This frees up a little bit of room on my front porch, in Carrie's bedroom and on the deck off of my bedroom.  It is possible that a small chest in Carrie's room might fit into the empty spot on the front porch and that I might be able to bring in my roll top desk from the garage.  I will measure later on.  

I tried to reach Connie in the evening, but she did not answer.  At 9:30 p.m I decided to make a batch of egg custard.  


SUNDAY:   I picked Maggie up for church.  The service today was kind of subdued due to the two tragic deaths this past week.  Maggie, Betty and I went to the OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  Betty was planning on going to see Liz after lunch.  I had the feeling that she would have liked for me to go with her but I just did not have the emotional strength to go.  Liz's house is filthy and smells and Betty likes to stay a long time.  I feel bad because I know Liz has very little time left on this earth.  I doubt if she will be alive next Sunday.  

I tried to get the AURA FRAMES device up and running, but it appears that I do not have the right equipment.  Seems that it requires an APPLE device.  Megan wants me to return it, and I will box it up and take it to UPS tomorrow.

In the evening, I talked to Connie on the phone.  She now has her mini van at Hampshire House, and has a medical appointment in Oneonta tomorrow.  On PBS I watched the first episode of the show about the two Queen Elizabeths.   On ON DEMAND, I watched last week's episode of AROUND THE WORLD In 80 DAYS, with David Tennant.


  He is SO good.  Then I watched the first episode of the new season of ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.

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 helper...

Week of Sunday, March 17th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023

 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. ...

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 go...
