Friday, December 18, continued

We were up about 7:30 this morning, and as usual, I got on the treadmill after breakfast and then did weights exercises. Mother came over after my exercises, and chose a jigsaw puzzle to begin working on. Before she began the puzzle, she opened her sixth day of Christmas gift, which was two word search puzzle books.

Not much else happened for the rest of the morning. After lunch, we went on an excursion to see a large gingerbread house at the women's center of our local hospital (see photo below). I took several shots of the house, by itself, and with Mother standing beside it.

After that, we toured the art exhibit in the main hallway. We know several of the artists and photographers, a couple of whom serve on the visual arts committee with me.

From there, we went to the library of the college that is just down the road from our house to see an exhibit of small works on paper, which is on tour from our state's arts council.

We came home after that, and Mother resumed working on her puzzle, while I watched a ballet version of Scrooge, and Hubbie cleaned the van for our trip to see his family on Monday.

Supper tonight was baked salmon, with baked potatoes and English peas. After supper, Mother went home, and Hubbie and I dressed to go to the visitation for our friend's husband. Lots of folks showed up at the funeral home, including several ladies from water aerobics.

We stayed about a half an hour at the visitation. Back home, we half-heartedly watched a few one-hour shows on TV.
