Week of August 23rd through 29th, 2026

 SUNDAY  I did not pick Jan up for church this morning because she called and said she slept very poorly and did not feel well enough to go to church.  Church was very good and after six of us went to Applebee's for lunch.  It was me, Glenda, Carol, Cindi, Marlene and Louise.  Glenda ordered a steak, but it was overcooked and tough, so she told the server that she could not eat it, and asked for grilled chicken instead.  Louise and Marlene both ordered mashed potatoes but got french fries instead.  Carol did not eat her salad because the dressing tasted strange.  I think I was the only one whose meal came as ordered.  Cindi did not order anything, since she and her husband usually go to the Mayflower for lunch on Sunday and he stayed after church for a safety meeting.   I stopped at PANERA for a drink before coming home.  I was just getting ready to take a nap when Mary called and we talked for about forty five minutes, I think.  She called to tell me that she does not want to pay the prices that GREAT CAMP SAGAMORE charges for lodging.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I arranged (via text) to meet up with Cindi at the History Center tomorrow for the art exhibit.  I watched the movie: THE GIRL IN THE GARAGE:  The Laura Cowan Story, and it is very good.  

MONDAY:  I went early to my appointment with Dr. Kurb's so I finished up early and called Cindi to tell her I was free to go to the History Center for the art show.  I met her there at eleven a.m.  She was disappointed, she thought it would be a much larger show with lots more art.  After viewing the artwork, we went into the gift shop and looked around.  We met the new director of the History Center and he is very nice.  Cindi was looking through the t shirts for ten dollars, and trying to get the right sizes for her kids and grandkids, so I told her I was going to head for home.  I had lunch at home and then took a nap and read for a while.  When I got up, I saw that the Monday night cruise with Elvis impersonator was cancelled due to the weather.  Lori offered to bring supper over and I accepted.  I made  quick and easy cherry cobbler for our desert.  Lori brought pork ribs, rice and corn on the cob.  Everything was good.  We watched the movie THE GLASS CASTLE.

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...
