Sunday January 23rd and Monday, January 24th, 2022

SUNDAY:   Jan finally decided to try FREEDOM CHURCH.  She picked Maggie up (they live in the same apartment building) and I met up with them at church.  I introduced her to several people.  It was a tremendous sermon!  She signed up for the Seniors event next month PIZZA, PASTRIES and PAINTING.  

Connie called in the evening and we talked for a while.  She has decided to NOT stay at HAMPSHIRE HOUSE, and move back to her trailer in Mountainview.   Frank is going to find an electrician who is licensed and insured to check out and take care of any electrical problems there may be in the trailer.  I encouraged her to wait until everything is REALLY ready before moving back, including getting her appliances moved from the old trailer to the new one. 


MONDAY:   I slept late and returned to sorting through clothing.  I bagged up several items to go to the Good Will.  I left around 12:20 for the YMCA.  I saw Mike on one of the treadmills, but he couldn't hear me when I said "hi" to him, he must have had ear buds in.   I met up with Jan for the one p.m. Silver Sneakers Classic class in the small upstairs gym.  It was a small group, and went well.  Then Jan and I walked the track for about fifteen minutes.   Jan and I went to DENNY'S for lunch.  I had the salmon from the seniors menu.  It was really good.  Just before we left the restaurant we heard two of the workers discussing an accident on Transit.  We asked which direction it was in and they pointed to the way we would be heading.  Both of us decided to NOT go that way.  I drove through the WalMart parking lot to Snyder Drive and headed north on Locust.  Apparently, traffic was being diverted in that direction.  I made a stop at Molinaro's and and bought a cupcake.  When I got home, I called Jan and suggested that we cancel our plans to go to the Palace for the lecture and slide show tonight.   It was snowing all the way home from Denny's and it is so cold out. 

In the evening, I cleaned out two drawers in my frig and continued with organizing my clothing.  I have everything in three closets pretty well organized.  In the small closet between the living room and Carrie's bedroom, I have short sleeved tops.  In the closet in my bedroom I have dresses and skirts (not many) at the left end, overshirts, long sleeved sweaters (both pullover and button) and pants.   In my part of Carrie's bedroom closet I have warm winter shirts, mock turtlenecks and miscellaneous shirts. Behind Carrie's bedroom door I have short sleeved button shirts and several black pullovers.  I still have some slacks that I need to try on as well as a couple of black shirts that I need to try on.  I also sorted through a box of socks that I keep in Carrie's room.   I located my recipe for fruitcake which I hope to make soon.  I have all the ingredients except for cider, which I substituted for water the last time I made it.

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...
