Columbus Day

Happy Columbus Day! In recognition of the day, we hung the American flag on the well house.

Up at 6:30 to get ready for water aerobics. Saw a beautiful sunrise on the way to the college. ..gray clouds, like jigsaw puzzle pieces, with the sun casting a pink glow behind and around them.

The pool was pleasant this morning, and I enjoyed my swim and workout after missing two days last week. There will be only two days of aerobics this week, since the pool will be closed Friday for the college's fall break.

Back home, after I was ready for the day, I spent some time on the computer. Mother came over and joined us for lunch, after which Hubbie and I ran errands...to the WDCS for groceries for this week's meals, and then to a grocery store/pharmacy.

Back home again, we stored the groceries, and then we all went to the clinic to get our flu shots. This evening, my arm is sore, though Mother and Hubbie haven't complained. Guess the nurse must have hit a muscle with the needle.

This afternoon, Hubbie occupied himself in the yard, repotting plants to be brought back into the sunroom, while Mother and I watched, "War of the Worlds," on DVD. This is the more current movie, with Tom Cruise. I also have the 1950s version, which we'll watch sometime before Halloween.

The movie ended at suppertime. For supper, we had leftovers from yesterday. Afterward, Mother went home, and Hubbie and I watched TV...a couple of one-hour shows on DVD, and then "Dancing with the Stars."
