Wednesday, August 17th, 2022 Wilson-Tuscarora State Park

 Wilson-Tuscarora State Park is a 485-acre (1.96 km2) state park in Niagara County, New York.[1] The park is located on the west side of the Village of Wilson along the south shore of Lake Ontario. Lake Road (New York State Route 18) passes through the park.


Jan and I met up at my house at ten a.m. and headed out to Wilson to go to Wilson-Tuscarora State Park.  We had been there last year and wanted to return.  When we arrived, there was a sign saying PARK IS FREE at the entrance booth.  First, we drove north to the end of the park, which was at a marina.  We tlurned around and backtracked to a parking area which we found last year.  This lot goes right down to the beach.  We walked to the left since we had not walked on that part of the beach yet.  It goes all the way down to an inlet.  We were delighted to see some beautiful swans.  We sat at a picnic table and watched them.  


There were several interesting spots along the shore where we walked, so I gave my camera a workout.
This appears to be a small fishing shack belonging to one of the cottage owners on the other side of the inlet.
Someone had placed these stones on a nice piece of driftwood.






We wondered what this flat wooden structure used to be.
We returned to the car and then went to the rest rooms.  We saw a sailboat.  
Then we returned to the Village of Wilson and tried to find BROWNIES, an ice cream and hot dog stand.  I finally had to get directions from the live program in my car.  We were not far way.  


I had a grilled chicken sandwich, it was only about six dollars.  Jan had grilled cheese.  Then we headed back to Lockport, but took a different route.  

In the evening, I thoroughly enjoyed watching

"Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: A Life on Stage"  on PBS

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

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

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.  I stopped at THE DOLLAR TREE to get some cookie mixes.  I spent the rest of the day
