Week of Sunday October 18th through Saturday the 24th, 2026

 SUNDAY the 18th:   Church was very good.  The youth did almost everything during the service.  

  

Addie Campbell did great.

I did not go out to lunch with the others.  I went to Niagara Produce for groceries and to Walgreens for a couple of items.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I watched an hour long video that Megan wants to discuss with me.  

MONDAY the 19th.  I laid around for a bit this morning and then decided to take a ride in hopes of seeing some fall color.  I headed to the refuge and drove around there a bit, and tried a couple of different roads.  I saw some really good color that I could not take pictures of, unfortunately.  I think my favorite color was on Meadville Road, which I have never been on before.  I think it is outside of the refuge, in Genesee County.

When I was heading home, I found myself in Royalton Center ( I think ) and I enjoyed seeing this:  

The sign in the middle is down, so I could not figure out what it said.

Here is one of my favorite pictures, taken at the Cayuga Overlook.  There is not much (or any) fall color, but I love the blue sky and the blue water.  

TUESDAY the 20th.  I did not go to Life Group this morning.  I texted Cindi that I did not sleep well last night, which is indeed true, but mostly I did not want to try to maneuver myself with a cane and purse and bag with my Bible in it, into the church, through two doors, etc and then back to my car.   I had a call in the morning from the office at THE VILLAGE.  Apparently, nobody from Michaelene's family has stepped up and the lot rent is coming due, plus the trailer will need to be winterized soon.  I called the cousin down south and she said that Michaelene has been cremated and buried next to her mother.  Another cousin told her that the state is in charge of Michaelene's belongings, specifically the Treasury Office in Lockport, so I called Jeannie at THE VILLAGE back and gave her this information Then I texted Tracey Jeannie's phone number.  Hopefully, they can work things out without too many complications.  Peggy came over to pick up a couple of antique bowls to take to the Campbells (where they go for a Life Group) since they already have one with the same pattern.  She came in for a little while and we went through a few items of Dads.

Elaine picked up two spaghetti dinners and brought them here and we had supper together.  We had a nice time.  She took the five "S" glasses that I got as a wedding gift (there were six, but one must have gotten broken years ago) and a few items to put into the baskets she is getting ready for her churches basket raffle, and what I think was Martha's bread tray, which is light gray with blue, and has a Bible verse on it.  She thinks her sister, Marcia, might like it.  

WEDNESDAY :   I tried to get my ROKU TV to stop turning itself off and on, following directions I found online, but I was not successful.  Peg arrived at ten thirty and we had some prayer time, interrupted by some phone calls.  Then we went to BROOKSIDE Restaurant and met up with Mike, Gail and Judy. We had a nice lunch.  I learned that both of my uncles (Dad's brothers) cheated on their wives.  Mike told us that one time he was with our Uncle Norman and Norman pointed out an apartment (I think over a garage) and told Mike that he had "Lockport girlfriends" that he met there.  I knew that Uncle Norman cheated on his first wife (Alberta Alberter, who I remember from when I was very young), but .........  Chickie and her brother Boomer were having lunch there and came over to say hi.  Chick will be getting a pacemaker on Monday, and I told her that I will be praying for her.  When we got back to 17, Peggy and I continued working on sorting through stuff that Dad had accumulated and throwing some out and sorting some into piles for Gail, Megan, Mike, Becky and Judy (whoever we think might appreciate them).

I had a phone call from Tim at Social Services and he pointed out that my 2025 1040 shows that I am getting a forty thousand dollar per year pension.  I need to go to a tax preparation person and find out what the Dale volunteer preparation person did wrong.  I made a few calls to try to find one, but I did not have any success. 

THURSDAY:   I went to WalGreens and picked up a prescription.  They still do not have any Tylenol PM.  I had a chicken sandwich for lunch and Lori picked me up and took me to the tax place in Tonawanda.  Jill looked at my 2025 1040 and explained it to me.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I prepared chicken and biscuits for my supper.  I figured out how to add ANGEL STUDIOS to my TV with the XUMO box!!!

FRIDAY:   In the morning, I went to WalMart and got fitted for a new pair of sunglasses, using my UNIVERA benefit.  While I was at WalMart I picked up other items and foods that I needed.  I spent nearly a hundred dollars.  When I got home, I had a light lunch after putting some of my purchases away  Then I went to the HOPE AND RECOVERY CAFE for the painting class.  I finished painting my pumpkin. 

Then Lori and I went to the event at the Checkered Poppy.  

We were the only ones there at that time.  We were given lunch or supper or whatever, chili, hot dogs, apple pie and more.  Peggy arrived when we were finishing up eating.  We talked for a bit and then we all went upstairs.    Peggy worked on her area, adding some items and taking some off.  Then she left.  Lori shopped for a while, until I could not stand it anymore and told her I was ready to go.  She purchased a few items.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I was reading on the couch and fell asleep for a while.  I watched the movie ELVA on Angel Studios.  It is exceptionally good!

SATURDAY:   I took Tylenol PM last night and probably got more sleep than usual.  In the morning, I boxed up the items that I plan to give away during Peggy's next CONNECT event.  I completed my OTC order online, and filled out the claim form and got it ready to mail along with the receipt for my new sunglasses to UNIVERA.  

I met up with Deborah Brown at the library for the DIAMOND ART CLASS.  I don't think she enjoyed it very much.  I don't think anybody finished their project. 

I brought mine home, but I doubt if I will ever finish it.  I spent the rest of the day at home.
