FRIDAY OCTOBER TENTH 2025 (Leaving ASP) and Saturday the 11th

 We all got up early today and started packing up.  I think both Leslie and Maggie had a head start on me.  I think it was a little after ten when the cars were both packed up.  Leslie took a couple pictures of Maggie and I standing on the front porch of our cottage. This is the ONLY picture from today.


Maggie took the wheel and I took the map and we drove north through toe park into Salamanca.  We took back roads for a while until we got to 219, which took us north to 20 and 78.  We stopped at Maggie's favorite hot dog place ZORBA'S(I think maybe in Lancaster) and had hot dogs, fries, onion rings and drinks.  I spent the rest of the day unpacking and putting stuff away, working on my Flickr account and this blog.  I returned a call from Mary Shaw, about the change in the date for starting the MOVERS and MAKERS group.  I called the director of the Barker Seniors and ordered my "catered lunch" for the Octoberfest which will the on the same day as the first session of the Movers nd Makers at the Y.  I will be a little late arriving in Barker.  




Saturday the llth:

I got up early to get ready for Ron Grout's funeral.  It was at ten a.m. and was well attended.  After the funeral, the family and probably some others went to the gravesite and then there was a nice meal put on by the new (younger) team of ladies who make up the MEALS team.  I sat at a table with David and Peggy, Glenda, Lori, Elizabeth and  Elaine.  I stopped at Niagara Produce before going home, and picked up he groceries I need.  

I reheated my leftover RIBEYE STEAK leftover from Allegany and it was delicious.  I also had a baked acorn squash for supper.  

In the evening, I decided to see if NETFLIX would let me in.  It did (I do not have a membership) and I found the movie SIX TRIPLE EIGHT, which was very good.

During WWII, the only US Women's Army Corps unit of color stationed overseas takes on an impossible mission in Tyler Perry's drama based on a true story.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

November 20th, 2020

 I had the oil changed on my car this morning.  I talked with Elaine and Betty on the phone, also.   I decided it would be a good day to stock up on groceries and other items since Thanksgiving is next week and the stores will be full of people.  Also, from watching the news, I think maybe there will be another STAY AT HOME order coming soon due to the rising number of COVID cases in this area.   First I went to Aldi's where I spent close to one hundred dollars on all sorts of items including some frozen vegetables, a piece of salmon, ground beef, canned vegetables, etc.  I took those groceries home so I could get the frozen stuff into the freezer.  I made myself  a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  I have so much food, paper items and cleaning items that it was hard to find spots to put everything.  I still have two hundred dollars worth of SNAP benefits available.   I rested, read and watched TV the rest ...

Tuesday, May 4th

 I got a call from Kevin K. at Northwest Bank at nine a.m. asking if I could come in and sign one more paper regarding my new SYMMETRA account.  I agreed to be at the bank at 9:45.   After that, I went to FREEDOM CHURCH for the Ladies Life Group.   Their were nine of us there and it went well.  Then five of us went out to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF. During lunch I asked Elaine if we might be able to start up some fun things to do together on Tuesdays after Life Group.  We had started doing that a few years ago, but it never really stuck.  Elaine was very enthused about this idea.   When I got home, there was a call from the estate lawyer asking me to come in to the office and sign some forms regarding the Principal account at Key Bank.  I called and agreed to go in tomorrow morning. I tried to reach Christa by phone since I know she took today off as a "mental health day".  She did not answer, so I left a message.  She p...
