At 7:30 a.m., we arose to a beautiful sunny, cool day. After breakfast, I did a treadmill session and resistance exercises. Mother came over once I was ready for the day and we gathered photos, card stock, etc., that we'll need to complete several memory pages at the scrapbook club meeting Thursday afternoon.
I also checked on the eagles. It was business at usual in the nest. I'm amazed every day at how much the baby grows in 24 hours. Today, he looks almost as big as the mother. And he's moving around more, though he's still plenty wobbly. He's so comical looking when he sits up and stretches that fuzzy head around to observe the world around him. He still spends quite a lot of time sleeping, though, while the mother keeps an endless vigil over him. Being an eagle mother obviously requires infinite patience.
After lunch today, Hubbie and I ran errands...to the bank, to the WDCS for groceries and incidentals, and then to the new pharmacy to check on our favorite brand of ice cream, which was advertised at two cartons for $6. Unfortunately, the store didn't have the fat free version, so we didn't buy any.
Back home, Mother and I planned the layouts for the scrapbook pages that we'll do at the meeting. We like to be prepared to just put together the pages when we get to the meeting. Otherwise, we waste a lot of time struggling with design ideas. It's hard for me to concentrate on design and layout at the meetings, since chatting with the other ladies is a distraction.
Later in the afternoon, Hubbie and I went out again...this time to find a roadside stand that was selling locally-grown strawberries. We found one that still had a few quarts of berries left. We also picked up an overripe cantaloupe for Shih Tzu, who loves the fruit. The folks at the stand were going to throw the melon away anyway, so they gave it to us free of charge. They were amazed that a dog would eat cantaloupe, but Shih Tzu has always loved them. As soon as we got home, she begged for some of it, and Hubbie obliged.
From the roadside stand, we went to the hardware store to pick up some more sealant. Hubbie's treatment of the shower drain the other day didn't fix the problem, but he thinks he can see a hairline crack in the pipe and decided to try to fix that. We're not real hopeful that it will solve the problem, but it can't hurt to try.
This evening, Hubbie and I went to the movie theater to see "Angels and Demons," an adaptation of the Dan Brown novel by the same name, and sequel to "The DaVinci Code," also an adaptation of a Dan Brown novel. The film is rated PG-13, and revolves around a quest to keep Vatican City and possibly all of Rome from being annihilated by a canister of anti-matter if it is not found before it comes into contact with matter and causes a cataclysmic explosion.
