 SUNDAY October 29th Church was excellent today.  When we were done, Glenda, Mary Watt and I went to LaPort's for lunch.  I relaxed the rest of the day.   The only thing I accomplished was gathering my bills together so that I can pay them tomorrow. MONDAY the 30th:  In the morning, I got caught up on a couple of checks I needed to write and mailed them off, along with a postcard for Tyler.  My SS has not yet been deposited, so I was unable to pay bills.  I went to the Y at eleven thirty and walked a bit, but not as long as I planned since I ran into Fran Wery and we talked for a while. Unfortunately, her back is "back to square one" and she can only walk for seven minutes.  I told her about the Thanksgiving dinner on 11/16 at the Y.  She invited me to LOCKPORT ALLIANCE this coming Friday to watch a movie of a play done at SIGHT AND SOUND.  Unfortunately, I already responded to July Schultz's LADIES GAME NIGHT invitation the same evening.  I ran into Selma and her dau

 SUNDAY:  First thing in the morning, I finished preparing the BEAN WITH HAM SOUP for the Seniors Luncheon today.  I had it in TWO crockpots and transported it on the floor of the back seat of my car. Church was very good today.  I left the service a little bit early in order to go to the kitchen to start helping to set up for the luncheon.  There was PLENTY of food, three soups, meatballs and sauce, sandwich makings, green salad and lots of desserts to choose from.  I brought home some bean soup for my supper.  I only took two pictures. Maggie and her fiancee won one of the raffle prizes.                                              Peggy making announcements. It was a bit warmer, and part of the sky was blue, so I decided to take a few more fall color pictures before going home.   First, I pulled into the parking area of the Kenan Center and then I stopped at the Stevens Street bridge.   I had to wait for a passenger train.  Many passengers waved! I took a nap, then I did my homework

 Wednesday 10/18/23:   My first full day at home after ASP.  I cancelled my ten thirty a.m. appointment with Dr. Kurbs because I was just too tired to shower and get ready and go.  I got caught up on this blog and on uploading my photos to flickr.  Betty brought my mail over.  Peggy stopped by for a few minutes, also.  I continued picking away at putting stuff away.   THURSDAY the 19th:  No appointments today.  I showered and washed my hair in the morning and continued unpacking and putting away.  I drove to COLD SPRINGS CEMETERY hoping to see some nice fall color, but I didn't.  I took a few pictures anyways.   I went to DOLLAR TREE (I was all out of dish liquid) and also to WalMart. I also stopped and took a few pictures near the State Street bridge.   I purchased lunch at the SUBWAY there.  Ate it at home.   In the evening I started watching MARRIAGE, a British TV show with Nicola Walker.  I missed the first several minutes.  Things move VERY slow in this show. FRIDAY the 20th.
