WEEK of SUNDAY June 22, 2025 through SATURDAY the 30th, 2025

 SUNDAY: Before church, I went to Panera and got a drink and then to CITIZENS to get some cash out of the ATM.  It said my card was not valid so I was unable to get any cash.   After church, there was a Seniors (CONNECT) event:  lunch at the Parkside Diner which is not really a diner, it is more like a drive in type place.  There were 26 or 27 people there. I had the chicken sandwich, which was very good.  Part of the plan for the event was to go next door to HALF BAKED for ice cream, but I don't think anybody went. I stopped at NorthWest to try to get some cash.  I was not sure of my password, so I tried two different ones, but neither one of them worked.  At home, I took a nap and then I talked with Peggy on the phone, fiming up plans for tomorrow when we will go to Shirley Hazel's funeral.  Peggy will be doing the funeral, so we are leaving early. We may or may not go to the meal afterwards.  I worked a little bit on sorting and getting things together to pack up for Megan and Christa and watched part of 60 Minutes which featured a segment about whales off of the coast of DOMINICA.  I told Megan about it.  I found MADAM BLANC MYSTERIES on Hoopla and was able to watch episode four of the first season.   I watched the first three episodes on PBS last night.  


MONDAY:  I met up with Peggy at her house and she drove us to Niagara Falls for Shirley Hazel's funeral.  She was a friend from church.  She attended my Tuesday morning Life Group until she had surgery about eight months ago.  Unfortunately, she never recovered from that surgery and has been in and out of nursing homes, hospital and rehab facilities every since then, until she passed away a few days ago.  


Peggy did the funeral, it was her first time doing a whole funeral and she did a great job!  After the funeral, Peg and I went to the gravesite, and then to a restaurant in Lewiston where they offered a funeral meal.  Cindi brought Betty, Glenda and Vicky to the funeral and to the restaurant.  We all agreed during the meal to go to HIBBARDS for frozen custard.  I had a small chocolate almond cone and it was delicious.  It was a very hot day, so we all had to eat fast!  After returning to Lockport, I spent the rest of the day at home.  As I was getting up from my nap, I saw the news that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.  I hope it is permanent.

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...

 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 ...
