Week of Sunday March 16th through Saturday the 22nd, 2025

 SUNDAY:  I was up until three p.m. this morning, (unwinding from my trip) but I forgot about the time change, so it was really four p.m.  I had started a load of laundry and fire up my ROKU TV and found a movie I started to watch on the first flight yesterday THE QUIET GIRL, but all of a sudden around the time the clock said three a.m., I started to crash and went to bed a few minutes later.  I slept four hours and then got up and used the bathroom and found a VDH podcast and listened to the first few minutes before I fell asleep again.  I found this mornings sermon online and put it on.  I got a few more hours sleep and I think I woke up around eleven a.m. but I thought it was ten a.m. because of the SPRING AHEAD clock chance that took place a few days ago.  I spent the day at home, working on unpacking and this blog and uploading pictures to Flickr. Mary Turk brought my mail over in the afternoon.  She is so sweet and I really like her.  I ordered a pizza from LOCK CITY PIZZA about four fifteen.  It was supposed to arrive in forty five minutes but it was about an hour and fifteen minutes before it arrived.  I called Peggy in the evening and she told me that she and David sold her car and purchased a HYUNDAI.  I think it is a SUV.  

MONDAY:  I got my income tax documents ready in the morning. I called Elaine and we arranged for her to pick me up tomorrow at five p.m. in order to go to SOLID ROCK for spaghetti.  Then I called Jan to ask her if she wanted to go to the Y and she did, so we agreed to meet there at noon.  I quickly got ready and left early to stop at RiteAid and pick up my prescriptions, and pick up a free drink.  Jan had arrived at the Y a couple of minutes before me.  She was in an upbeat mood which was surprised me.  She had been posting on Facebook about wanting to stay home all the time, so I was concerned that she might be depressed.  We walked for close to forty minutes. Then I went to ALDI to get ingredients to prepare corned beef brisket.  They were OUT of them, but I got all of the other ingredients and other stuff I needed.  I ran into Peggy there.  I had to go to WalMart where I found a brisket.  Then I went home where I spent the rest of the day.  Pam called, and Peggy called and later on in the day Becky called to remind me of spaghetti at Solid Rock tomorrow night. I called Betty to ask if she would be going to Hong Kong Buffet tomorrow and she was very abrupt and said probably not.  I worked on uploading pictures from the cruise to Flickr and made a lot of progress, but I still have a lot of labelling and tagging to do.

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...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...

 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. ...
