Saturday, October 10

Got up late on this cloudy, chilly day, but did a treadmill session and resistance exercises, anyway. Afterwards, I washed a couple of loads of clothes, and ironed others that will be needed for our upcoming trip.

While I was exercising, Hubbie peeled and then shredded potatoes in the food processor, so that Mother could make potato soup. The soup is intended for the trip, but it smelled so good cooking that we decided to sample it for lunch. It's a big batch of soup, so there's plenty left to take with us.

After lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to a grocery store for shredded Monterey Jack cheese, to the WDCS for other groceries we'll need on the trip, and to a restaurant for a pound of pork barbecue, also for the trip.

Back home, we loaded stuff into the camper, and then sat down to watch our favorite college football team play to a much-needed SEC win against an up-till-now undefeated team. It was pretty awesome watching this exciting game on the new big screen TV.

I had recorded the game on DVR, and it was still playing at suppertime. So we set up TV tables to enjoy our meal of loaded baked potatoes...spuds filled with leftover chili, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and coleslaw, topped with dollops of light sour cream. Two potato meals in a day is one too many, but they were good.

After Mother went home, I cut up fresh fruits for a snack later. Then Hubbie groomed and bathed Shih Tzu, a dreaded job, since our aging dog is arthritic and has tender skin.

We spent the evening watching TV, finishing a very mundane day.
