Wednesday Oct. 18th through Saturday the 21st, 2023

 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.  Lou Meade from DRUM OIL came over this morning to look at the air conditioning unit.  Indeed, it does need to be replaced. and will cost between five and six thousand dollars.    Peg came over and we replayed the video we started to watch a few weeks ago.  Amir Tsarfati talking about the book of Revelation.  We didn't quite finish it, because about 10 minutes before the end Peggy got a phone call from a couple from church who are battling financial and cancer issues.  She wanted to get the ball rolling with getting them some help, I think.  I took a nap in the afternoon.  In the evening, I went to IMAGINE THAT where Freedom Church held a Ladies Paint Night. POTLUCK AND PAINT!!!!!  We all brought a dish to pass, and there was a LOT OF FOOD.  I took several pictures.  Most of the ladies were very much younger, but there were a few seniors: me, Marlene, Linda Rathke and Peggy, and we all sat together. and had a good time.  
I am not at all happy with my finished painting, but I did have fun.

There was plenty of food!

SATURDAY October 21st.  I decided that I would bite the bullet and get the rest of my stuff put away.  After all I have been home since Tuesday afternoon.  In the morning I started soaking the beans for the soup for tomorrow.  I also went through a basket of Carrie's toys and got rid of some and cleaned the rest.  

I had an email from US BANK encouraging me to redeem my rewards points, so I located my log in ID and password and I redeemed enough points to earn a hundred dollars!!!!  I took a nice nap, and read a bit in the book Christa recommended.  I finished putting trip stuff away, all except for taking my two suitcases upstairs where I store them.

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...
