Friday, September 4

Since we didn't have anything scheduled this morning, Hubbie, naturally, was awake by 7 a.m. I chose to snooze 30 minutes more, though. After breakfast, I hopped on the treadmill, and then did weights exercises.

While I got ready for the day, Hubbie groomed and bathed Shih Tzu, so she'll be clean to visit family in another town tomorrow, including Granddaughter and Great-Grandsons from another state.

I didn't know we'd be going to Daughter's tomorrow, until Hubbie suggested it at lunch today, so I decided we needed to make a shopping trip to get the ingredients for a bean salad to take as our contribution to the meal.

While we were out, we stopped by the farmer's market and picked up a couple of huge cantaloupes, two types of apples (Macintosh and gala), and peaches, all grown in our state.

From there, we went to the greeting card shop to get a baby shower card, and to a department store to get a gift card. The daughter of our friend who died of breast cancer is having a baby boy, and several women from the Presbyterian Church are hosting a drop-in shower for her at the church the week after next. The invitation requested gift cards for the young woman, which makes it easy for everyone.

Then we went to a grocery store to get shredded Parmesan cheese for the bean salad, and on to the WDCS for a few groceries, including ground turkey to make a pot of chili.

After we got home, I started the chili cooking. Once it's done, I'll refrigerate it to use over the next few days. Chili is always better after the flavors meld. Tonight's supper, however, was salmon fillet, served with sweet potatoes and Normandy mix veggies.

Later, we entertained ourselves as usual, watching TV.
