Wednesday, March 10

Up at 7:30, and did a treadmill session and weights exercises after breakfast. While I was on the treadmill, Hubbie left to go to a Master Gardener dig...members visit each other's yards in the spring to dig and pot plants to be sold at the organization's fundraising sale in May.

Once I was ready for the day, Mother came over, and we worked on finishing scrapbook pages started at our meeting last month. In fact, we spent most of our time today, until around 3 p.m., on this project. We completed three pages on the February snowstorms, one on our visit to see the trumpeter swans, and one on Grandson at an archery tournament.

Our next scrapbooking project will feature our new great-grandson (Mother's great-great-grandson), born in February. We'll be sorting snapshots and choosing background papers, etc., next week to take to a scrapbook club meeting on that Thursday.

Later, Mother read the interesting stuff in e-mail and on Facebook. I update her daily on what's going on in the family, but about once a week, she looks at videos and photos uploaded to Facebook, and reads cute forwards from family in e-mail.

For supper, we had baked pork chops smothered in barbecue sauce and chopped carrots, onions, and celery. These were served with baked sweet potatoes, and canned no-sodium whole kernel corn. Yum.

Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I ran to the WDCS to pick up a few items, including some snapshots of greeting cards that Mother and I made. One of the women members of Master Gardeners is interested in seeing examples of our work.

Later, we watched one-hour shows that I'd recorded on DVR, and occasionally checked in with a Capital City TV channel to stay posted on the progress of thunderstorms and tornado watches. There were storms and hail in the southern part of the state that damaged some homes, and about 8 p.m., it began to thunder and lightening in our town. Around 9 p.m., a tornado warning was issued for the southern part our county. In the county just south of us, there was tennis ball size hail and power outages. Fortunately, though, the worst of the storms bypassed our town.
