Friday, January 8

Got up late, again, and then did a treadmill and resistance exercises session. Didn't accomplish much else for the rest of the morning. Mother came over around 11 a.m., and we visited until lunch time.

After a lunch of the leftover soup from last night's supper, Hubbie and I went to the WDCS to get a few groceries for the weekend. It was dangerously cold today, so we were surprised to see a guy going into the store in a t-shirt and no coat, while I looked like Nanook of the North in several layers of clothes, my heaviest suede and fleece-lined coat with hood, hat, and gloves.

When we got back from the store, I baked an apple pie for Sis. I do this every year for her birthday.

Sis arrived around 2 p.m. Fortunately, she didn't have to detour around the propane tanker accident. Even though the tanker spilled over 9,000 gallons of propane, causing the evacuation of 31 homes, the spill was cleaned up by 1 a.m. this morning. It was expected that it would take 24 to 36 hours to clean up the spill, but several hazmat teams came from surrounding states and dealt with it much more quickly.

Spent the afternoon visiting with Sis, and then we had a supper of Parmesan talapia fish, baked sweet potatoes, and English peas, with yeast hot rolls. Afterward, Sis and Mother went to Mother's house, and Hubbie and I went to the visitation for the Master Gardener who died this week.

Back home, we watched TV, and I answered an e-mail from a friend who lives in Missouri. This is the friend we tried to visit while we were in Branson in October, but were unable to see because she was in the hospital.
