WEEK of SUNDAY, November 16th through SATURDAY, November 22, 2025

SUNDAY the 16th: Even though I didn't get out of bed until nine a.m., I left early enough (to go to church) to stop at Walgreens and pick up a prescription and also to go to Panera's for a drink. Even so, I had to wait, along with lots of other people) in the lobby while the first service finished up. The service was great! A bunch of us (Glenda, Carol, me, Peggy, Marlene, Louise and Linda) went to Applebee's for lunch. Normally, I get a grilled chicken sandwich but I was in the mood for a good burger. Then I went to WalMart to get a few items. MONDAY: I decided to check and see what might be in a small flat box sitting in front of my ROKU TV, and I am so glad I did. I found the missing MANITO;S gift card, which I was sure I had lost, a fifty dollar SUNOCO gas card, and a ninety nine dollar WMart card that was a reward from my WELLS FARGO CC company. I met up with Andrea at the Y and we walked about 35 minutes. I picked up a small sub at SUBWAY, using a coupon. I also stopped at WalGreens when I remembered that I forgot to get detergent at WalMart yesterday. I spent the rest of the day at home. I am still kind of wiped out from the trip. In the evening, I rolled some coins into little paper sleeves, so I can turn them into paper money at the bank. If I have time tomorrow morning, I will stop at NW Bank. I called Elaine and asked if she and Marsha would like for me to bring spaghetti dinners to them tomorrow night. TUESDAY: I stopped at NW Bank on my way to Life Group, but there were several people waiting and I did not have much time, so I was not able to cash in my coins. Life Group was very good. They were planning where to go for lunch when I left. I went to PANERA and got a drink and a bagel and then I stopped at the LOCKPORT TRAVEL CLUB (new location, the old YWCA) and picked up trip info., but I did not stay for the meeting. When I got home, I took a nap. Lori picked me up at four thirty and we went to SOLID ROCK for the spaghetti dinner. Erica Joan Wameski was there, but I did not have an opportunity to talk with her. Lori barely remembered her from the time we met her at the Newfane event, at the little village, a few years ago. I did not see Becky there. I picked up two dinners, for Elaine and her sister, and we dropped them off. I debated whether or not to ask Lori to come in and watch a movie, but I really did not feel like it. We will be going to the First English Lutheran Church Friday evening for their turkey dinner and I told her we can watch a movie at my place after that. I watched various items on youtube and then took a shower. WEDNESDAY: MOVERS AND MAKERS was very good this morning. Brenda brought oxtails and greens, corn muffins and potato salad. Sarah brought a made from scratch cake. I brought some oxtail and a muffin and part of a piece of cake home. I took a few pictures. I got gas at HOUSEL'S (using the gift card I found) and also turned in coins at NW bank. Three rolls of dimes had at least one Canadian coin in it, so I have to redo those. When I got home, I started making four bean salad for tomorrow's turkey dinner at the Y. Then I took a nap. When I got up, I put a butternut squash and two potatoes in the oven and started a pot of chili. I had a bowl of chili over a baked potato for supper and it was VERY good. I have a lot of leftover chili. THURSDAY: I went to Panera's for a drink before going to the Y. I dropped my FOUR BEAN SALAD off in the room where they were setting up the buffet. Then I found a table in the gym and put my vest and my purse in strategic spots in order to save that table for me and my friends. Eventually, they all arrived. Jan, Peggy, David, Selma and Sabba, Deb and Andrea. Unfortunately, our table was the last one called, so we missed out on some of the extra but there was PLENTY of turkey and mashed potatoes left and I brought some home with me. All of my FOUR BEAN SALAD was taken, I hope it was all eaten, but I have no way of knowing. I was able to bring some turkey and some mashed potatoes home, as well as a piece of cake. When I got home, I took a nap. When I got up, it was time to get ready to go to the PALACE to meet up with Pam for LITTLE WOMEN. It was really good.

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 ...

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...
