The Day After Thanksgiving: November 25, 2022 and Saturday November 26th

 In the a.m. I had a message from Lori asking about the tickets for the event we want to go to at the Palace next month.  It is a basket raffle, orderves etc. and watching the movie WHITE CHRISTMAS.  I agreed to get the tickets.  I called the Palace and using my credit card, I purchased our seats.  We can pick the tickets up when we arrive that night.  

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I had a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream for breakfast.  Then I decided to make turkey soup.  I picked some meat off of the carcass and then broke it into smaller pieces and put it into two pots and made broth.   I added carrots, garlic, celery and onions, cooked until done and then returned the meat that I cut off of the carcass to the pot.  By the time I was done, the kitchen was a mess, plus yesterday's dishes were clean, but still in the dishwasher.  

The soup turned out very good and I had a bowl for lunch.  I froze some of it.  

Peggy called and we talked about possibly going to visit Myrna tomorrow.  Also, we might go to one or more of the events that are a part of LIGHT UP LOCKPORT.

I got an email from Salma, the Pakistani woman that I met at the Y.  She did not get the first email that I sent last week, but now we have connected.  

In the evening, I found the movie CHRISTMAS GRACE on Spectrum (I think).


  I watched it and enjoyed it. I don't think the writing or acting is all that great, but I liked the story line.

SATURDAY:  I didn't do a whole lot in the morning.  Betty called and we talked for a bit.  I continued putting stuff away from Thanksgiving dinner and pulled out some more Christmas decorations.  I had a turkey sandwich for lunch and then I laid down on the couch for a while until Peggy called and said she was on her way to pick me up for LIGHT UP LOCKPORT.  

Usually, I go to more places during this event, but this year Peg and I only went to two places.  FIRST we went to the Lockport Fire Station where they were offering tours.  We walked around and Peggy asked a few questions.  Then we went to THE CHAPEL for their Winter Festival. 

The event was held outside and it was cold and very windy. 
These were handed out at the entrance, with a free Christmas ornament attached.











We each go a cup of chili and went inside the church to warm up and eat it.  Before leaving, we each got a cup of hot chocolate, and Peggy got some popcorn.  All of the food items were free. When we got back to my house, I gave Peggy a container of mac and cheese, left over from Thanksgiving Day.  We made arrangements to visit Myrna in the nursing home in Gasport where she went for rehab, after church tomorrow.

I watched the movie THE NOEL DIARY on netflix in the evening.

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...
