Dull Saturday, Exciting Game

Since we had nothing special planned for today, Hubbie and I slept in until around 8:30. After breakfast, I got on the treadmill.

Mother came over around 10 a.m., and we went through recipes looking for dishes we might want to fix this week. It always takes quite a bit of time planning a heart-healthy week's menu and making a grocery list.

I also finished gathering triglyceride information and recipes for Daughter-in-Law, but I still need to write a letter to go with the packet, so it'll be Monday before it goes out.

This afternoon, Hubbie washed the outside of the camper, while Mother and I took inventory of one of the freezers, where there were lots of quart-size freezer bags of grapes. They've been in there since last summer's grape festival. Someone told us that frozen grapes make a good treat, but we don't care for them. So we decided to put them in a Dutch oven with a little water and simmer them to make juice. The juice will go into the freezer for jelly making later.

After that, Hubbie and I made a trip to the WDCS for groceries to satisfy the week's menu. When we got back home, Hubbie discovered to his consternation that a hose he'd bought wasn't in the van, which meant he had to return to the store.

We weren't in the mood to do much else for the rest if the afternoon, so we settled in to watch a couple of "Monk" episodes I'd recorded on DVR.

Following a supper of leftover split pea soup and turkey-bacon, tomato, and Vidalia onion sandwiches on toast, we turned on the radio and listened as our favorite state team played another nail-biter, down-to-the-wire-win football game.
