Greeting Cards

The snapshots above show greeting cards that Mother and I made today as our contribution to the hospice program that we volunteer with. The program is planning a card making session in another county, and we were invited to attend. But the town where the meeting is to be held is about 45 minutes from us, so we opted to make cards at home and give them to the hospice worker, who will use them for patients in that county.

Hubbie and I got up late this morning, but I still did a treadmill session and weights exercises. Later, while Mother and I made greeting cards, Hubbie worked in the yard. After a while, he came in to say that there had been a minor accident on the highway in front of our house. It seems that an organization that will hold an event at the park on the river on Saturday was hauling items needed for the event on a trailer, when the trailer edged into the opposite lane, hitting and knocking off the sideview mirror of an oncoming vehicle. No one was hurt in the accident.

Nothing much else happened today. Later, I checked on the eagles. Nothing much was happening in the nest, either. The mother seemed to have trouble finding stored food in the nest, and at one point, the male dropped by briefly, "empty-beaked," it appeared. He soon winged away again, hopefully to find and bring back food.

For supper tonight, we had veggies...baked sweet potatoes, beans cooked with turkey bacon, onions, and banana peppers, and sauteed cabbage. Later, we watched "Dancing with the Stars," and were surprised when Shawn Johnson won. We were betting on Gilles Marini.
