Tuesday, August 16, 2022 INTO THE WILD at the Kenan Center

 I got to FREEDOM CHURCH a bit early in order to pick up the basket that Peggy won for me last Saturday.  I say she won it for me because after she had deposited her tickets, she asked me if there was anything that I really wanted. I pointed out a basket with some Christmas items because I liked the placemats I saw.  She put some tickets in for that, and she won it.  

During the Life Group I brought up again the idea of going to the Kenan Center Gallery for INTO THE WILD, an art and photography exhibit that opened a couple of days ago.  I described it and asked if anyone wanted to go.  At first nobody raised their hand, but then Cindi said she wanted to go.  Most likely she was feeling bad for me just before she raised her hand.  Then Marlene said she needed a ride home, and Betty said she would go to the gallery with us and take her home after.  The Life Group went on for an extra half hour

A bunch of us went to Wendy's for lunch, I think there were ten of us.  By that time a couple more of the ladies (Ann, Pam and Lori) had decided to join me, Cindy, Betty and Marlene.  However, Lori must have changed her mind as she did not show up.

We all enjoyed the art exhibit and I took a few pictures. 




When I got home, I opened the basket up.  I was putting the placemats (four of them) away with my Christmas stuff and saw a SEQUENCE game that I didn't know I had.  I don't remember if it belonged to Christa and I brought it here or if it was already here when I moved in, of how I got it.  So, now I have TWO Sequence games.  I finished watching CATFIGHT, a movie that I started watching this morning before I left the house to go to Freedom Church.

I was shocked to see this on facebook


Jeff was/is my stepbrother.  My Dad's second wife's youngest son.  I did not know about his cancer diagnosis.   He is in his late fifties, I think.  I am sure I met him at least once, but I never got to know him, but heard about him from Martha and Dad.   Peggy and I will put a basket together to donate to the basket raffle, and I hope she and I can attend this event.  

I talked with Myrna on the phone in the evening.  I watched the movie FLIGHT with Denzel Washington on Netflix.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

Week of Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, 2025 (Recipe for Crazy Crust Pie)

 SUNDAY:   I took my trash out early today and it was SO HOT, that I felt that my breath had been sucked out of me.  I messaged Jan about it, since her asthma really bothers her in hot weather and I knew that she might be better off staying home from church.  Church was very good, the Eastmans performed and spoke.  After church, Glenda, Andrea, Marlene and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, which was very good even though they did not serve my gravy on the side like I requested.  I brought a lot of turkey and also my whole gen salad home.  Andrea told us the story about how she and two of her kids along with other people in a church she attended in Ohio went down to New Orleans to help out after Hurricane Katrina.  When I got home, I watched part of the four part documentary about  it.  HURRICANE KATRINA:  Race Against Time.  Crazy Crust Pie 1 C. flour 1/4 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 t...

Wednesday, August 19, 2020

In the morning, I called an antique dealer and asked if he would be interested in looking at the furniture in Mary Anne's cottage.  It looks to me as if several pieces are antiques.  He is interested, and we will get together soon.   On the way  to Olcott, I stopped at a donation box and dropped off three or four bags of clothing.  Once I got to her cottage, I tackled the kitchen.  Betty did not do a good job of straightening out under the sink yesterday so I took everything out and started again.  I was able to finish the entire kitchen, but the floor still needs scrubbing.  I will need water to do that.  Today, I took my own water. I stopped at Reid's and picked up a burger and fries.  I took a nap in the afternoon, and when I got up, I reorganized most of my spices. I went to the Royalton Center United Methodist Church for their take out spaghetti supper  (first I went to Mary Anne's house to put the trash bins away, but som...
