First thing this morning, I went to the bank and signed papers to close out the account that matured.  Then I went to Panera and got a drink and then to THE LOCKPORT OUTDOOR STORE and returned both the rain jacket and the waterproof pants that I bought for the Alaska trip.  I had not needed to use either one of them due to having dry weather.  The return went smoothly.  Then I went to the Y and walked the track and used the recumbent bike a bit.  Then I went to Burger King and had the FIVE DOLLAR DUET which was a Whopper Jr. and fries.  Then I went to Aldi and purchased a few items including  rain jacket that I found in the AOS, for fifteen dollars!  Then I returned to Panera and got another drink, and then I went home.   After putting some of the groceries away, I called Sue R. to see how she is doing and to tell her about a grief program that the Y is having.  She is not ready to attend.  We talked for a while.   Se...

SATURDAY  I spent most of the day at home, unpacking and putting items away.  I went out for a short while to pick up a prescription, go to PANERA and get a few groceries at Niagara Produce Lori brought supper over from THE MAYFLOWER.  It was orange chicken with rice and broccoli.  It was very good. I supplied drinks and desert: coconut macaroons from Panear.  We watched the movie about the shooter who killed several girls in an Amish school in Nickel Mines, PA.  It was good. SUNDAY:   I did not get a lot of sleep last night, I do not know why, but I felt pretty lousy in the morning.  I went to church, but did not go out to lunch with the others.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I worked on my Alaska cruise pictures and made some headway. 

 I spent the entire day at home.  I worked on unpacking and putting stuff away.  I have very little food in the house.  Mary brought my mail down.  I paid bills and found the new CITIZENS bill paying is absolutely ridiculous.  It used to be so easy, now it is awful.  I have one load of laundry done, and much of that is hanging up, drying.  I continued working on uploading pictures to flickr.  I tried to reach Connie by phone, but she did not answer.  

 We got up early and took the hotels shuttle to the airport.  We went through the check in process which started with Peggy and David checking in. and through security.  Then we used our food voucher to get breakfast, and then went to our terminal.  It was a fairly short wait. The flight went well but it was a looooong five hours before we got to Philadelphia.  Cold drinks and cookies were served.  I was happy  to have a DR PEPPER over ice.   When we finally landed in Philadelphia we did not have a lot of time.  We got two small pizzas from this place  and it was very good, and they prepared it pretty quickly, which was good since we did not have a lot of time before getting on the small plane to Buffalo.  Unfortunately, we had to wait for a pilot!  This was a short trip.  When we got to Buffalo we got our luggage (thank God all of our checked bags were there).  We had to wait a little while for Mike and Janie ...

 The last day of this trip did not go as we expected it to.  We had breakfast at the buffet, mine was very small.  Then we returned to our room and completed packing.  Just as we were leaving our room, the toilet started to overflow.  I hollered to our steward JOSE, who immediately opened up a panel in the wall, and I don't know what happened after that.  We walked off of the ship with our luggage, and it went smoothly.  I took this picture which shows COIT TOWER:   Peg ordered an UBER which took us to the airport.  As we were checking in, we found that our first flight was delayed and that delay would make us too late arriving in Dallas to catch the second flight.  We were at the airport for a LONG time while an agent helped us sort things out.  Unfortunately, there was NO WAY to get back to Buffalo today, so the airlines (American) found us hotel rooms, and also gave us a voucher for $12 for food, and they must have paid for...

  Peggy, David and I went to the final Bible Study.  The topic was FORGIVENESS and there was a lot of sharing.  We had planned on going to an event in the Piazza at ten p.m. but because the study went on longer than the regular quitting time, we missed out on that.  So we had a leisurely breakfast in the buffet. Once we were back in the room, Peggy went to a CREW vs PASSENGERS event in the Piazza.  David is trying to get some extra sleep since he is not quite over his illness or "bug".At some point, they went to the pool and hot tub. I skipped lunch today since breakfast was kind of late. I think I used that extra time to do some packing. In the afternoon we went to a singing competition in the Princess Theatre.  It was called THE VOICE OF THE OCEAN:Grand Finale.  Steve, who was our Bible study leader, won!!   He was very good!.   We had dinner at our regular table in the MICHELANGELO.  I slipped Mark a twenty dollar bill as a ...

 I slept really well last night.  Peg's alarm did not go off so we missed out on going to the Bible study.  David does not feel well, I think he has a head cold but he seems to think that's it is allergies.  He wanted to get more sleep, so Peg and I went to breakfast in the Boticelli, ,and then to a trivia type competition. LET;S GET QUIZZICAL. By the time we returned to our cabin, it was time for lunch (again in the Boticelli).  After that, Peggy and I went to the Customer Service office and I signed up and paid for 24 hours of internet service.  We can switch between devices, so that all three of us can use it but only one aet a time.   So, I used internet for a while and then David used my chrome book to look at and check a few things.  Peggy spent some time online using her I-phone. Then we went to the Boticelli for supper.  It was LAND AND SEA NIGHT.  The steaks and lobster were really good.  After that, David and Peggy w...
