 SUNDAY May 26th:  Church was somewhat different today.  Pastor Craig is out of town so the service was led by Michael Peacock and                             .   Three people gave their testimonies of what God has done for them and they were great.  After church, I met up with Marlene and Pam at LaPorts for lunch.  Jan came a bit later, but she did not eat.  I had blueberry pancakes and a half order of home fries.  After that we went down to the corner of Main and Pine Streets and set up our chairs, so we could watch the Memorial Day Parade, which was a day earlier this year.   MONDAY the 27th (Memorial Day)Jan and I met at the Y and walked for a while, before it closed at noon.  I picked up a pizza at MARK's and had some of that for lunch.  While it was being prepared, I went into the thrift shop next door.  I made a macaroni salad before taking a nap.  I called Betty in Florida, but she did not have time to talk, she was having a POOL PARTY! When I got up, I decided to empty out

 May 19th SUNDAY:   Before going to church, I stopped at the convenience store on the corner of High and Transit and bought three bags of mulch.  Church was great!  After church, Louise, Glenda, Marlene, and Dee went to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF.  I ordered the rack of ribs special which came with a salad, fries and vegetable.  The others looked at mine and said they wished they had ordered it.  It was a LOT of food and I brought some ribs and vegetables home with me.  When I got home, I laid down on the couch listening to something on youtube and I must have fallen asleep for a bit.  Joan arrived a few minutes before three thirty p.m. and we got the mulch out of the car and she started working on the front flower beds.  She did a great job and I paid her $35.  In the evening, I was on facebook and the FORSYTH TAVERN posted a list of basket raffle winners and I won something and so did Lori. May 20th Monday:  First thing today I cleaned and pared some carrots and sliced them and put them

 Church was very good this morning.                              Pastor Craig with his mother. Every mother was given a small gift (a book of devotions) as we left the sanctuary.    After church, I met up with Peggy and David at HONG KONG BUFFET for lunch, which was also very good.  Then I went to TOPS to get some PURE LEAF ICED TEA.  I relaxed for most of the rest of the day.  There is a new interview of Ayaan Hirsi Ali done by Ben Shapiro and I put it on TV, and fell asleep to it.  Jan called and woke me up.  She was given two old postcards in a picture frame (for Mothers Day) and when she took them out, she found that they were addressed to FRED NIETHE.  That must be my paternal grandfather.  She is going to show them to me tomorrow.   Megan called to wish me a Happy Mothers Day and we talked for a bit.   MONDAY:  Ben and I talked a bit this morning and agreed on an amount they will give me to cover their use of the household utilities for the time they stayed here.  They will be he

 SUNDAY:  Church was excellent today.  We welcomed new members, (I was really happy to see Ruby and Lynn have become members),  honored new elders  honored law enforcement and there were several baptisms.   After church, Glenda, Betty and I went to LaPorts where each had a bowl of their delicious beef barley soup.  After getting gas, I went home and quickly made a chocolate pie to take to Peggy and David's house later on, since they invited me for supper tonight.  I spent the rest of the afternoon resting until it was time to go to Peg's house.  David had prepared a ham and egg salad devilled eggs.  The meal was very good.  After eating, they put on an episode of ABANDONED, which featured the Catskill Game Farm. I got home just in time to watch CALL THE MIDWIFE and then a new Masterpiece show name MaryLand.   MONDAY the 6th:  I had my chiropractor appointment this morning and then I met up with Barb at Day Road Park for a walk.  We were barely into our walk when we met up wit
