Sunday, August 30

We slept late this morning, until 8 a.m. Since I missed exercising yesterday, I got on the treadmill this morning and then did resistance exercises. After that, it was Sunday as usual...programming the DVR for upcoming shows, washing clothes, reading the Sunday newspaper, etc.

Lunch today was pinto beans, an oven recipe of potatoes, fried green tomatoes (lightly fried in olive oil), and cole slaw. Mother went home right after lunch, and Hubbie and I settled in to watch a couple of movies I'd recorded on DVR.

The first was "Before You Say I Do," from the Hallmark Channel. This is a romance...a man travels ten years back in time to prevent his fiance' from marrying her then fiance', who hurt her so badly that she runs away before the present-day wedding.

The second movie was "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont," starring Joan Plowright. An elderly English lady moves into a dowdy hotel in order not to be a burden to her family. She forms family-like ties with the other elderly hotel residents, and then with an aspiring young writer, who helps her when she falls while out walking, and who becomes a stand-in for her neglectful grandson.

After a sandwich supper, we watched a SyFy movie, "The Descent." Following a white water rafting trip, a woman and her husband and young daughter get in an automobile accident on the way home. Her family is killed, and a year later, she and several of her friends decide to go hiking and caving, where they are trapped and terrified by strange creatures.
