Photo Op

We got up at a reasonable hour this morning...or what we consider to be reasonable, at 7:30 a.m. I hopped on the treadmill after breakfast and did a 40-minute workout, plus ten minutes with weights and cool-down.



It was sunny this morning, so once we were ready for the day, we decided to take our chances with photographing the Master Gardener's posters, as well as the MG herself. We arrived at her house around 10:30 a.m., and spent about an hour at the task. I was able to do the shots in the shade of a pear tree, which is currently loaded with fruit. The MG said she needs to either make pear preserves, or gather the fruit to share with other MGs. If we had a choice, we'd naturally opt for the second plan, since Hubbie, as an MG, would be gifted with some of them.



Last night, Hubbie saw an ad in our local paper for veggies being sold from the garden of a local resident, so after leaving the MG's house, we stopped by to pick up tomatoes, cucumbers and okra. By the time we got home, it was already 11:30 a.m., so Hubbie and I cut up veggies and fruits for a chef's salad lunch.



After lunch, I uploaded the MG photos to one-hour service. I'll take these snapshots to her so she can decide if they will serve her purposes or not. If they aren't right, I'll do them again. I think they look fine, but I never know how a customer will react.



Since nothing else important was on our calendar for this afternoon, Hubbie went out to mow the yard, while Mother and I watched another of the three musical DVDs I bought from a popular online store. This one is "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," starring Donny Osmond. We really enjoyed it...especially the "Elvis" Pharaoh. Our community theater performed this musical a few years ago, and the audience roared with laughter when the owner of one of our local automobile dealerships appeared as the pharaoh character, decked out in Elvis finery, with a sky-high pompadour hairdo and extreme sideburns.



By the time the movie was over, it was time to start supper. Tonight's fare was steak strips sauteed in onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, along with baked potatoes, black eyed peas, slaw left from last night, and sliced tomatoes.
