SUNDAY December 28th through SATURDAY January 3rd, 2026

SUNDAY December 28th: I spent the entire day at home. I did not do much of anything. Andrea messaged me that she is still not feeling great, her cough has returned and she said she would not be going to church. Later on, Lori messaged me saying that there were hardly any people in church. Peggy called and we talked for a few minutes. They went to a TITANIC EXHIBIT in Schenectedy. She told me that HIGH WINDS are expected tomorrow afternoon here in Lockport. The only time I stepped out my front door was to take my trash and collectibles to the street. MONDAY: I got out of bed close to eight a.m. to find that both my trash and collectibles containers were tipped over. The trash truck was closeby and the guy turned my trash can upright and dumped it in the truck. I quickly got my boots and coat on and went out and took my collectible container out behind the house, there is plenty of room for the next two weeks, and then I started picking up the stuff that had blown out of other peoples collectible containers and putting it into my trash can. I don't think any of what I picked up originally belonged to me, but I guess it does now. I picked up a few items from Mr. Whalens yard and from the yard across the street. Then I decided I should take a shower and go run some errands. WalGreens had a long line at the drive through so I went to the library and returned some books and picked up two books. Then I went to Niagara Produce and got a ribeye steak for New Years Eve and then I went to PANERA for a drink and lunch. On the way back I noticed that WalGreens drive through line was very short, so I got in it and pcked up my Restasis (part of it anyways). When I got home, I noticed that one of the windows on the front porch had blown off. It is the one that David was fooling with the other day. TUESDAY the 30th: First thing today I got a text from Dr. Nik about tomorrows MOVERS AND MAKERS. He and Sara are away but Denise will be there for a short session. Peggy and Andrea are not going to go, so I think I will also skip it. Its not really worth getting up really early in the morning just for an hour or less of EXERGAMING. Besides I want to do some food prep for tomorrow night (New Years Eve). I want to make one more batch of CHEX MIX, some muffins and a chocolate cream pie.

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

 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 ...

 Church was very good this morning.  After church, Betty, Jan, Maggie and I met up at Laport's for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner.  It was way too much food to eat in one sitting, so I brought most of it home with me.  Their turkey dinner on Sunday when it is one of their specials is a real good deal: only twelve dollars after the senior discount is used.  Our server automatically gave it to all four of us.  I suggested to Betty, Jan and Maggie that we do this every Sunday after church, going to a different restaurant every Sunday.   The 2022 Ladies Retreat was announced in the bulletin this morning.  Unfortunately for me, it starts the day after I plan to return to Lockport after my week in Allegany State Park with Leslie.  EVEN SO, I plan to go.  I could leave ASP one day early.  I will have to think about this more.  I think I will decide to leave ASP one day early so that I can have one full day and part of anoth...

 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 ...
