Good Friday April 7th At Home in Lockport and SATURDAY the 8th 2023 at Home

FRIDAY:  I took two TYLENOL P.M. before going to bed at ten p.m. last night and I think I slept for eight hours straight before waking up at six a.m. this morning!!!!  What a blessing.  While still in bed I wrote a couple of reviews on TripAdvisor and checked FB and email.  I worked on unpacking and putting stuff away before I went out.  First, I needed to return a book to the library, and then I went to THE BUTCHER SHOP and bought three pierogies and a Delmonico steak.  I also went to Molinaro's and bought a slice of pizza and a piece of lemon/coconut cake.  I napped in the afternoon.  Myrna called just before it was time for me to get ready to go to the GOOD FRIDAY service.  We talked for about fifteen minutes.  She said she had made cranberry relish and had a dish of it for me.  I suggested that I could pick it up after church and she agreed.

Church was great.  I sat with Jan, but the other ladies who usually sit with us in our row did not show up.

                                            The worship was great!

                                          There were several scripture readings

Myrna and I had a good visit, but it was kind of short since it started so late.  I gave her the items I purchased in Ohio:  some colored pencils and some orange slices.

SATURDAY:  I spent the day at home.  I finished unpacking and putting clothing, etc. away.  I did a few reviews on TripAdvisor.  I had a good conversation with Christa on FB private msg.  I talked to Peg on the phone.  

For supper I followed the recipe for PERFECT STEAK, but used Delmonico Steak and I did not have any thyme.  It was still too pink for me after the allotted time, so I set the pan back in the oven while I finished up the other items (pierogies, onions and mushrooms for the steak, and peas) and that worked well.  It was a good meal.  The steak was very tender, but it had a LOT of fat. I still have enough of all three items for another meal.

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...
