April 26th (Tuesday) and April 27th (Wednesday) in (Denver Botanic Gardens)

 TUESDAY: this morning, Christa asked me when I planned on leaving since she wanted to make an appointment (online) with her therapist.  I told her that if she wanted to do that, I could easily make myself scarce.  But I figure that she asked me that question because she is ready to "go it alone", so I went online and found a flight on Saturday with FRONTIER AIRLINES, a direct flight between Denver and Buffalo leaving early afternoon, which is a really good time for both me and Nik and Christa.  The Frontier website recognized me as an account holder. I must have opened my account in January of 2018 when I purchased my round trip to Denver for April of that year.  However, they had the year of my birth wrong and I was unable to change it to the correct year.  Christa got on the phone and we got it fixed and I made my reservation.  I communicated with Peg and she will pick me up at the airport Saturday evening.  

We had a frozen pizza for supper and watched one or two episodes of KILLING EVE and decided on a plan for tomorrow.  The three of us will go to the DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS.  Nik ordered our tickets online for noon, and we agreed to be ready to leave a little after eleven a.m.

WEDNESDAY:  I was the first one up and had breakfast out of the way before Nik and Christa got up.  A repair person came to work on the flooring just beyond their front door, and this held us up a little.  We arrived at the gardens about fifteen minutes late.  We spent a couple of hours there,  I took a lot of pictures and so did Christa. 






I think this is my favorite picture that I took.
and when we left I asked them to pick an interesting and unique place for a late lunch, early supper.  I suggested TERIYAKI MADNESS, but I guess that did not appeal to Nik.  We ended up at Cherry Cricket a popular burger place. 


It was pretty good, but I cannot call it spectacular.  Christa loved her burger which had goat cheese and fig jam on it, among other items.  I ordered a little burger, it was supposed to be a quarter of a
pound, but I don't think it was that big. 


It was good, though, and so was my side of coleslaw.  We got home around five p.m. and we all rested for a couple of hours before having some snacks and settling in to watch more of KILLING EVE (season three).

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...
