Week Starting with Sunday, October 11, 2026

 SUNDAY:  I am feeling much better, but I decided to stay home from church.  I watched the service online, casting it from my laptop to my ROKU TV.   I made banana pancakes for my breakfast.  

MONDAY:  The meds I took last night did not help me sleep as much as they did the two previous nights. In the late morning I got hungry for a tuna sandwich, but I do not have any bread.  So, I decided on a tuna/macaroni salad, so I started making that.  

TUESDAY:  I felt pretty good this morning when I got up, so I decided to go to Life Group.  I was feeling kind of lousy shortly after it started, but gradually I felt better.  A bunch of us went out to lunch at THE OLIVE LEAF.  I stopped at Dollar Tree and Aldi before going home, in order to get some stuff I needed.  I really needed a nap when I got home.  When I got up, I went to Walgreens to pick up my Viberzi.  Then I worked outside for but fifteen minutes raking up yard stuff and depositing it in a trash can.  

WEDNESDAY:   Lori, VIcki, Andrea and I met up at my house at nine thirty and Andrea drove us all to Barker Seniors.   We had our catered OCTOBERFEST LUNCH, German food which was very good.  We had live music, Ted Szymanski, who played  traditional German and Polish music on his accordian and sane along. 


  He was very good.  Lori won the 20/20 which was twenty dollars!!!  I got home a little before two p.m. and after responding to a couple of phone messages, I laid down on my bed to rest until about 3:15 when I got up and went to Elaine's house.  She drove us to the church in Cambria where we picked up soup and deserts to take out.  It was so nice outside, so I suggested to Elaine that we take a short drive to see what fall color is available.  We happened to drive by the North Ridge United Methodist Church at four thirty,

where they were offering a free community dinner at five p.m.  We decided to go.  We had a half hour to kill so we checked out the garlic store down the road, but it was closed.  Elaine wanted to drive back towards Ransomville to see if a certain restaurant (Knead the Dough) was still up and running.  It looks like it is, but it was closed.  Then we returned to the church where we had a very nice macaroni and cheese supper, which came with a hot dog, tossed salad and desert.  

Thursday:  Not a very adventurous day.  I am limping around, off and on, due to a pain and what feels like a weakness behind my left knee.  I called and made an appointment with Dr. Schlehr.  I spent the morning working on my filing system and made a LOT of progress.  I found some missing items.  I made a couple of calls regarding ng towards getting an oral device for sleep apnea.  I had a ni.  ce nap, and when I got up, I got ready for a ZOOM meeting regarding Carrie.  It went well, Carrie looked so good!  

Friday:  I started the day off with a bang.  I got up from my spot on the couch to answer the phone, and on the way there, my left knee gave out and I fell to my knees on the floor (carpeted).  I made it to the phone OK, before the machine picked up.  I decided to be proactive and dug up a couple of knee supports that I bought a few years ago.  I have one of them on now.  Also, I put my cane together, and have tried it around the house.  I showered and washed my hair, holding on to the bar most of the time.  

SATURDAY:  I spent the day at home, until five p.m.  I spent an hour or maybe two checking my cell phones contact list against my address/phone book (paper).  If I were to lose my phone or whatever, I would still want to have easy access to those phone numbers.  Also, I wrote out postcards to Tyler, Connie, Dee M and Judy McAdams.  I started to gather together all the glass/breakable items that I want to keep and I will box them up soon.  Andrea picked me up at quarter to five and we went to the Palace, where we met up with Linda E. for the meat raffle. 

I spent sixty dollars and didn't win anything.  Andrea won several items, I think six.  Linda won one or maybe two.  We were given free pizza and cookies.  This raffle was not as much fun as the one I went to with Andrea and Linda a while back at the fire hall in WrightCorners.

EAGLE WATCH at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and more: 2/1/2020

Image
Betty and I went to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge for the EAGLE WATCH, which was part of the IO Palooza event today.  She picked me up and we drove to the Visitors Center on Casey Road.  There were several things going on in this building, and they were offering pieces of cake. The event was a celebration of the  20th year of Iroquois Observations.   We had cake, walked around a bit and went into the gift shop.  We got directions to the location of the Eagle Watch from a worker and then headed to the Cayuga Overlook. They had scopes set up for visitors to see the eagle and the nest.   I took this picture through the scope. We wanted to hike a bit so we got directions from the ranger how to get to a certain trail, but we could not find the road to it.   We headed to the Tonawanda Indian Reservation so we could have lunch at Jan's Sah-Da-Ko-Nee Restaurant.  We entered the reservation via Bloomingdale Road, the road the re...

October 20,2020

 I slept pretty good last night.  I don't remember getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom!  For sure I did not get more than five or six hours, but at least I got that much.  I finished up putting together my Christmas box in order to take it to Freedom Church this morning.   I went to the Ladies Life Group.  I think there were nine or ten of us there this morning and it was a very good meeting.  At the end, several of the group decided to go to Wendy's for lunch but I decided not to go.  I went to WalMart and picked up a few items and had lunch at home. I talked to Connie on the phone for a while regarding her appointing me as her agent (Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney and Executrix of her Estate).  She has all of this set up with someone else, but she changed her mind about that person.    After my nap I went to SOLID ROCK to pick up a spaghetti dinner.  After I ate, I went out for a walk and also...

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...
