Saturday, August 15

We got up at 6 a.m., so we could go to the Caring Hands Hospice yard sale to see if there was anything we wanted. I found three books on CD, priced very reasonably at $2 each, and a Serta counting sheep for 50 cents (this one is a baby sheep with a pacifier). Mother found a corduroy jacket for a couple of dollars, and a small rectangular box decorated with wooden farm animals for 50 cents. Hubbie bought a perfectly good brown leather jacket for $5.

Back home, we spruced the house for company tomorrow...Daughter-in-Law, Granddaughter, and two great-grandsons will come to visit. We haven't seen them for several months, so we're really looking forward to it. The year-old grandson has grown and changed a lot since I saw him last, so I'll certainly be camera-ready.

Before lunch, I made a peach/apple/pear cobbler to have after tomorrow's lunch of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, sliced tomatoes, and another as-yet-undetermined vegetable.

After lunch, Mother went home to rest, Hubbie went out to mow the yard, and I did some things on my computer, including ordering three on-sale movie musicals.

Later, we settled for leftovers for supper, including fajitas that I fashioned from leftover Mexican casserole, leftover bean dip, sauteed onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms, green chilies, salsa, and Monterey Jack cheese, folded into whole wheat tortillas. I wrapped these in foil and heated them in the oven. Since Mother doesn't care for Mexican food, she had leftover spaghetti, leftover zucchini casserole, and leftover boiled new potatoes. Hubbie and I sampled small helping of those dishes, too, though the fajitas were our main focus.

At 6:30 p.m., we went over to the college to see a performance of "Grease," by students of a local dance studio. The kids did a good job, and we enjoyed it. We were back home around 9:30.
