SUNDAY, December 7th through Saturday December 13th, 2025

Sunday: Before church, I went to Panera and got a drink and also to the DOLLAR TREE for napkins and tissues. Pastor Craig is in Israel so Jim Hood spoke and he did a good job. Unfortunately, I started a fit of coughing about ten minutes into the sermon and had to go out and sit in the foyer. I was able to watch and hear the rest of the sermon on a tv screen out there. Jim finished the sermon earlier than usual and I went down to the kitchen to help out with starting the SENIORS CHRISTMAS PARTY. I helped put tablecloths and other items on the tables. It was my job to watch the table with basket raffle items, but it was all set up and very little that I could do. Louise won the two glass candle holders that I gave to Peggy a while back. The rest of the party went well and the meal provided by the Koteks was very good. In the gift exchange I got a heated mask for dry eye, which I can use. When I got home, I crashed on the couch and stayed there for a few hours. I called Elaine to confirm that I will pick her up and take her to PT tomorrow afternoon. I called Jan and we agreed to meet at the Y tomorrow at ten thirty a.m. I found the movie SHATTERED GLASS on Pluto TV, it is based on a true story. It was good. Then I found the movie AFFLICTION (Pluto TV has good movies available). It has Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek, which are two of my favorites. I called the Mandarin Retaurant in Niagara Falls, Ontario a few minutes before eleven, expecting to get an answering machine but a man answered. I made reservations for Christmas day at three p.m. Res. number 8192. I texted the info. to Peggy.

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 ...
