Sunday July 31st 2022 Church, Picnic, Supper with Peggy and David and Monday, August 1, 2022

 I left a bit early for church and dropped ice cream, hot fudge sauce,  applesauce and potato salad at David's house.   Church was good, it was the last week of "the movies".  The name of the movie was RISEN.  After the movie they were offering orderves in the lobby.  The orderves were not simple things, they were quite fancy.  All I could eat was the vegetables with hummus.  Betty, Jan, Maggie and I sat at a table together and then grabbed two more chairs so Ruby and Lynn could join us.  I think it was their first time at our church.  Ruby is a friend of Betty's son in laws mother, Lela.  

I met up with Dee, Robyn and Elaine in the parking lot.  Cindi was waiting for us to meet up with her INSIDE the church but realized she should go outside when she noticed it was ten minutes after one p.m. I rode to North Tonawanda with Cindi and Dee and Robyn rode with Elaine.  We found MAYORS PARK, the location of the graduation party that Lori Rivers was giving for her son Branden who graduated from Buffalo State recently.  Marlene met us there.

The party was a success, with lots of good catered food. The caterers forgot to bring serving spoons!!  But we figured it out, and used cups to scoop some of the food out.

When it came to leave, Cindi took Dee, Robyn and me back to Freedom Church so that Elaine did not have to drive all the way into Lockport.  She dropped us all off at the church.  Altogether, our group of Life Group ladies who went to North Tonawanda for the picnic numbered SIX:  me, Robyn R., Dee, Elaine, Cindi, and Marlene. I am glad we went.  I think it meant a lot to Lori.

I went home and rested a while before going to Peggy and Davids house.  The timer I set for 5:45 did not go off, and I must have dozed off and when I woke up it was six p.m. which was the time I was supposed to be at their house.  I was able to get there at ten minutes after six.  Supper was very good:  chicken and biscuits, corn on the cob, applesauce, potato salad and ice cream with hot fudge sauce for dessert.  

As we were finishing up, Peggy got a call from someone at the church because the alarm system was accidentally activated.  So, I got ready to leave so that she could go take care of that.

MONDAY:  after my chiropractic appointment, I picked Jan up and we went to the HOPE PROJECT at Eastern Hills Mall.  I found two pairs of jeans, one black and one blue, a pair of denin capris, a long knit navy blue vest and a pullover top.  Then we went to the NIAGARA EMPORIUM and walked around for a half hour or forty minutes.  That place is absolutely HUGE.  Then we went to FeelRite where I got some LACTO and organic conditioner.  On the way back to Lockport, we talked about stopping to get something to eat, but we didn't go by anyplace that looked interesting.  

I called Leslie in the evening, and we spoke for a while.  Her "spots" are starting to clear up.  She is in the middle of a course of steroids.

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...
