Coffee with Harry

I met up with Harry for coffee this afternoon.  I was confused as to where the Bison Cafe and the Chandeliers Restaurant were, but we did find each other.  I opted for Hazelnut flavored coffee.  Nice comfy atmosphere in the Bison.  We stayed in the first section, but there is the option of going into the second part where Harry assures me is just as comfortable and also serves as an Art Gallery promoting local artists.  We will go in there next time.  Esther Hay came in and I chatted with her for a few minutes.  She is incredibly upbeat considering she is going to have her Mastectomy Surgery Monday afternoon.  Rev. Tracey Smith also made an appearance.

Anglican Guys Friday Morning Coffee

In attendance this morning Joe, Harold, Fred, Ken, and myself at Coffee at the A&W.

Thursday Happenings

The morning started out cold again (-17c).  This is the end of March? Right?

Had a large turnout for coffee gang at the A&W.   

After coffee I went to the Victory FM Radio Studio and recorded a promotion spot which should be airing regularly soon.  Pastor Gregg Rustulka is very good with words and phrasing as he edited my brief thoughts about receiving a blessing from listening to the station and inviting friends to tune in to 100.1 FM.  After several attempts, we finally came out with a version we were both happy with.

This evening I went down to the Cathedral to help the ACW ladies set up for their Rummage Sale tomorrow.  Not much rummage, so didn't take long.  Diane and I stopped off at the downtown A&W for supper before going home.

Coffee with Guy Shannon

At 2:00 pm I met for coffee with Guy Shannon at the Coffee Shop (formerly Hunt's).  I found he lives in the neighbourhood so that will make a convenient Coffee Shop for us.  We discussed his future business plans hopefully beginning April 1st.  I don't want to share details at this time for confidential reasons.  I told him about the Men's Breakfast tomorrow morning and have since arranged to pick him up at 7:45 am tomorrow morning.

Busy week

In addition to working at the CO-OP Monday through Wednesday, Monday night - Men's Chorus, Tuesday night - Prince Albert Christian Radio Corporation Board Meeting out at Gerry Sand's place, Wednesday night - first session of Strings section of Music Festival.  Had a few words with the adjudicator, Anna Bekolay, originally from Prince Albert and St. Alban's and a Facebook friend of mine.  I volunteered to look after the Class Entry Board.  I enjoyed Anna's adjudications.  She has a way of making the kids feel at ease.   Thursday morning - Men's Bible Study - I stayed to wash the dishes.  Went home to look after Peaches, then off to Rivier to the Music Festival.  I received a call on vibrator which I did not recognize.  I phoned the number back and found out it was Roberta.  She was at work and thought she had forgot to shut off the coffee maker.  I went over to her house and sure enough - the coffee maker was on.  I shut it off and went back over to the Music Festival.  I went to the Lenten Noon Lunch at St. Alban's.  No sooner had I told Rev. Greg Rustulka that we would have to change the Radio Announcement for next week because Dan Stroman was having his knee surgery that day, when in walked Dan.  He had waited in his hospital gown for 3 1/2 hours and then they sent him mome because there was not bed after surgery.  The operation has been postponed until April 16th.  Pastor Dennis Defoe from Under the Juniper Tree Church was the speaker talking about the women disciples of Jesus.  At 1:00 pm, I dashed home to test Peaches, then returned to the Music Festival.  Left to be home in time to meet Diane and test Peaches and go across the river to deliver a birthday card to our niece Jordyn.  Had a short visit with Paul and Vickie, then off to look after Roberta's dogs and a bite to eat.  Thursday evening - Ham Radio Meeting.  Friday morning - A & W coffee with Fred Payton and Rev. Norbert Haukenfrers.  Next, I cleaned out the fish tank and watched golf on TV.  Friday evening - quiet evening at home.
