December 29th (Thursday) at Home and Friday December 30th, and Saturday the 31st

THURSDAY: Sleeping in my own bed was great!!!  I slept a bit late and prepared ham and eggs for my breakfast.  I called Social Services about the notice I received early last week.  I spoke with a live person and was told that someone would return my call and help me figure out if I might be eligible for Medicaid now, based on the New York State 2023 budget, within 24 hours.  

I worked on laundry and dishes and made some baked custard.  I had a nice nap.  Someone posted this picture on FB.

I got a LOT of mail today, most of it was junk mail. I paid a couple of bills.

In the evening, I called Myrna and we talked for twenty minutes or so. Her daughters and granddaughters are taking turns staying with her and helping her.


FRIDAY: I took a shower and washed my hair first thing in the morning. I called my friend Elaine and we talked for a bit. Pam called and we talked for a bit, and I suggested that we might go out for lunch. She agreed and said that she had a gift card for PANERA'S. I ran a few errands and dropped something off for Myrna before meeting her at one p.m. We had a nice lunch together. However, the prices have gone up since I was there last. Our two meals came to very close to fifty dollars. I had a FUJI APPLE SALAD WITH CHICKEN and TERIYAKI CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI BOWL. Both were very good. After that we decided to go to the Y and walk the track. I think we walked about twenty minutes. I stopped at Aldi's before going home, in order to get a half gallon of milk. However, of course, I purchased several items. I was psyched to find lactose free cream cheese!!!! I also bought a pair of boots for twenty dollars. There is no place to try shoes or boots on, so I will try them, and I will keep them if they work, but I doubt if they will.

Later on: I think the boots will work and that I will keep them. I took out the fancy ribbons and am using a heavier cord. I talked with Connie on the phone and then with Peggy.

NEW YEARS EVE:  Saturday December 31st

I baked a pie and made rice pudding in the morning and puttered around the house.  I took a much-needed nap, since I did not sleep well last night and then got ready to go to Peggy's house.  I got there a few minutes before the appointed time which was five p.m.  David prepared the lobster and steak on the grill on his back porch.  I heated up the BOB EVANS mashed potatoes and we had croissants and fruit salad, also.  The ribeye steaks from Niagara Produce were soooooooooooooooo good.  We watched a movie, I think the name of it was SAN ANDREAS. 


 They both love it but I could barely tolerate it, since I don't care much for action movies. After the movie, they were debating whether or not to watch an episode of Shark Tank, but I said I was going to bed and they did the same a few minutes later.

WEEK of SUNDAY April 20th (Resurrection Sunday) through Saturday April 26th, 2025 (new bean/ham soup recipe Tuesday)

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...

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...
