WEEK of February 1st, 2026 through Saturday the 7th.

SUNDAY February 1st:   I took Andrea's laundry over to her before going to church and she gave me another bag of stuff to wash and dry.  I was a bit early for church, and talked with Marlene in the lobby until the earlier service ended.  After church, Marlene, Linda and I went to LaPorts for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, and brought about half of it home.  

MONDAY the 2nd of February:  I got up somewhat earlier than usual and got ready for my day.  I had made a list of things I needed to do and it helped a lot.  First, I tried to reach Andrea to work out a time to drop off her clean clothing.  I left a message.  First I went to NorthWest Bank and caused the check from Dr. Schler.  Then I went to the Kenan Center and turned in my vouchers for the free tickets to THE LITTLE PRINCE.  Then I went to the Dollar Tree for a couple of items I needed, and then to Panera for a drink and then to my chiropractic appointment, and then I met up with Pam at the Y and we walked about a half an hour or so.  Then I went home and had lunch and took a nap.  When I got up, I got ready to go to Cammarotta's for the presentation and meal I signed up for a couple of days ago. I dropped Andrea's clean laundry off to her before going.   Pam, Dee Man and Peggy joined me there.  The presentation was about stem cell treatments.  It was interesting, and the New York Strip Steak was delicious!!!!  

TUESDAY: I showered and washed my hair and then  I made a couple of phone calls hoping to meet up with someone at the Y to walk the track, but I was not successful.  So, I stayed home in the morning and packed a few boxes to put into storage.  I had lunch before heading to the hospital for my appointment with Dr. Basra.  I don't think she is very happy with my request for her to order prescriptions for all of my supplements.  The weather was really unpleasant when I left the hospital to go to my car, so I decided to NOT go to WalMart as I had planned.  However, things cleared up a minute or two later so I decided to go to Aldi's.  I spent over sixty dollars and I am happy that they had chuck roasts for seven dollars a pound since they were ten dollars a pound at Niagara Produce.  I rested when I got home and then prepared chicken and dumplings for supper.  

WEDNESDAY:  Peggy called early and asked if I could pick her up on my way to the Y.  Andrea was going to pick her up, but she is sick.  Peg and I were the first to arrive, and the others came soon.  Peg, me, Lori, Julie, Susan, Cindi, Brenda and Rita.  So, eight of us.  The exergaming went pretty well.  The art part was a easier, relaxing and better. We used acrylics.  Then Peggy and I went to the church and prayed together.  I spent a lot of time in the kitchen  making pickles (from a fresh cucumber which I put into pickle juice), washing the carrots and potatoes and setting up my crockpot for tomorrow, since Peggy and David will be coming for supper.  I had a nice nap and prepared baked potato, grilled zucchini and homemade chicken nuggets.  I made a macaroni salad to take to the senior event tomorrow.

THURSDAY:  In the morning, I made an IMPOSSIBLE PIE and put all of the ingredients for supper into two crockpot.  Potatoes, onions, chuck roast etc. into my largest crockpot and the carrots, (in cider) in my smallest crockpot. I went over to the Y and arrived at 12:15.  Several people (about six) were already there with Tammy (she seems to be the new leader of the seniors activities) and they were discussing various ideas for future events.  A couple more people arrived, one of them definitely NOT a senior. 




We had a nice meal and then played BINGO.  I won twice and got two workout towels (to use to mop up sweat while working out).  I stopped at PANERA and got a drink and then came home.  I laid down, but I am not sure that I feel asleep.  When I got up, I finished working on supper and Peggy and David arrived a couple of minutes after five thirty.  We had roast beef, potatoes, carrots, gravy and corn and DeCamillo's bread.  For desert Impossible Pie and  and the ambrosia salad that Deb had made for the event, and she had given it to me at the end.  Peggy really loved that.

FRIDAY:  I picked up tickets for BEATLEMANIA at Cindi's house to take to Peggy.  We went together to Dent Neurological to meet up with Carrie and Zoe.  By checking messages on my home phone, I found that they could not find a parking spot at Dent.  Peggy went down to flag them down, and she brought Carrie up to the second floor. I told the front desk what the situation was, since by this time it was about twenty minutes past the appointment time.  When Carrie arrived, I got the intake process started and we only had to wait a few minutes before we were taken in.  Zoe never found a parking spot.  We took Carrie down to the lobby and I watched her while Peggy went out to find her.  Peg and I stopped at the BIG Niagara Produce so she could get some food items for her upcoming event on Sunday.  Then we went to the church where we ate lunch (from Subway) and I helped her take items from the office down to the kitchen so they will be handy for Sunday.  When I got home, I took a nap.  Shortly after I got up, I headed over to Peggy and Davids house.  David had prepared stuffed peppers and they were the absolute BEST stuffed peppers I have ever had.  After dinner, we watched a couple of shows FRASIER and HOUSE (about tiny houses).

SATURDAY:   I did household stuff in the morning.  I met up with Pam, Peggy and David at the Kenan Theatre and we watched the play THE LITTLE PRINCE.  *using the four tickets that I won playing BINGO during GOLDEN ACRES last week.*


David said it was very good, but Peggy, Pam and I were not at all impressed.  

                                                  The stage before the play started.


The actors (mostly actresses) came out at the end for pictures.  






Then I went to WalGreens since I was all out of laundry detergent.  I picked up my Viberzi.

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 ...

 SUNDAY:  First thing in the morning, I finished preparing the BEAN WITH HAM SOUP for the Seniors Luncheon today.  I had it in TWO crockpots and transported it on the floor of the back seat of my car. Church was very good today.  I left the service a little bit early in order to go to the kitchen to start helping to set up for the luncheon.  There was PLENTY of food, three soups, meatballs and sauce, sandwich makings, green salad and lots of desserts to choose from.  I brought home some bean soup for my supper.  I only took two pictures. Maggie and her fiancee won one of the raffle prizes.                                              Peggy making announcements. It was a bit warmer, and part of the sky was blue, so I decided to take a few more fall color pictures before going home.   First, I pulled into the parking area of the Ke...

 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...
