WEDNESDAY, June 29th, 2022 COMMUNITY GARDEN BLOCK PARTY


 In the morning, I ran several errands including taking my cooler over to FREEDOM CHURCH since they needed it for the BLOCK PARTY at the Community Garden.  I went to WalMart and purchased the game SEQUENCE and a few other items including some food items to take to the Little Food Pantries.  I also picked up some items at the Dollar Tree.  I delivered food to two of the pantries and then went to the library and picked up two books they had on hold for me.  I picked up maps for the Garden Walk at the Discovery Center.

When I got home, I found a phone message from Betty regarding our friend Ann Stimson.  She was involved in a bad accident last night, when her son accidentally backed over her with a small tractor (apparently a new lawn tractor that he was trying out for the first time).  She is in ICU at ECMC with several broken bones.  Peggy told me that Pastor Craig has already been to see her and she is conscious and will start several surgeries tomorrow.  I know Ann from church and the ladies Life Group on Tuesday mornings.  She lost her husband (a former pastor) a few years ago. 

I called Tyler and left a HAPPY BIRTHDAY message for him, since he turns SEVENTEEN today.  

I arrived at the Community Garden at five thirty p.m. and helped set up for the block party.  I was part of the food service team:   Amy Banks, Jenny, Dee, Betty and I.  Betty did not show up on time, so Peggy called her and I guess she had forgotten to watch the time.  She did arrive in time for the food to be served.   We served pizza, drinks, chips and deserts to over two hundred people and had to send people out to get extra water, and order a few extra pizzas.  












Before people arrived!And before the bounce houses were completely set up.

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

 SUNDAY the 10th:  I went to church, which was very good.  The topic was: and then out to lunch with Lori and Marlene, at Kalamata's.  I had the turkey dinner.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I talked with Mary and Peggy on the phone.  I did a bit of cleaning and straightening because tomorrow morning, Peggy and Betty are coming over to watch a Jack Hibbs video.   MONDAY:  September 11th, 2023, Betty, Peg and I met up at my house and watched the first of three videos of Jack Hibbs. speaking about DAZE OF DECEPTION.  It is excellent and we decided to meet again on Wednesday to watch part 2.   Then I went to the Y for the class for seniors called ENHANCE FITNESS.  We were all evaluated as to our speed doing certain activities.  Before leaving, I asked both Jan and Elaine if they wanted to go to LKPT ENERGY HOUSE for a shake.  They agreed, so we met up there.  While we were relaxing and drinking our shakes Captain Kendra D'Itillio of the Lockport Police came in and we chatt

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
