WEEK of Sunday, July 26th 2026 through Saturday

 SUNDAY:  I think I had six hours uninterrupted sleep last night.  I got ready for church and also got the trash can ready to take out later on.  I first went to PANERA for a drink and then I went to FREEDOM SOUTH for a special service FREEDOM IN THE FIELD, which was a combined service for the two services at Freedom South and the service at Freedom North.  I thought I would be the first one there since I went so early, but thre were a lot of people there already.  Men were directing people where to park, and I got a pretty good spot in the back, fairly close to the picnic pavilion.  Shortly after I arrived, Jan and her son Michael and Kat arrived.  Kat did not have a chair, so I got my extra chair out of the back of my car.  I accidentally spilled most of my drink from Panera.  UGH.  Then Glenda and Carol joined us.  Marlene's daughter was looking for Marlene, who must have been late. Our seats were off to the side of and behind one of the canopies.  But unfortunately, the sun moved and Glenda and Carol ended up in the sun. When the service was over, six of us went to THE BIG DITCH.  Glenda must have googled it and found out that the BD would not open until noon, and it was only a few minutes after eleven.  Carol called me and told me and asked if we should change destinations.  I realized that it might be impossible to reach Vicki and Lori, so I said I thought we might as well go to the Big Ditch and wait on the patio for it to open.  So, that is what we did.  A server named JODY pulled out chairs for us and unlocked the door so a few of us could use the Ladies room.  They put two tables together for us:  me, Vicki, Lori, Louise, Carol and Glenda.   I had the salmon with hand cut fries and broccoli.

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 ...

Week of Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, 2025 (Recipe for Crazy Crust Pie)

 SUNDAY:   I took my trash out early today and it was SO HOT, that I felt that my breath had been sucked out of me.  I messaged Jan about it, since her asthma really bothers her in hot weather and I knew that she might be better off staying home from church.  Church was very good, the Eastmans performed and spoke.  After church, Glenda, Andrea, Marlene and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, which was very good even though they did not serve my gravy on the side like I requested.  I brought a lot of turkey and also my whole gen salad home.  Andrea told us the story about how she and two of her kids along with other people in a church she attended in Ohio went down to New Orleans to help out after Hurricane Katrina.  When I got home, I watched part of the four part documentary about  it.  HURRICANE KATRINA:  Race Against Time.  Crazy Crust Pie 1 C. flour 1/4 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 t...

Sunday, February 13th, 2022

 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...
