Saturday, Oct. 2

Got up around 7:30 this morning, but skipped my exercises to get ready for a visit from Daughter, Granddaughter, and Great-Grandkids.

They arrived around 11 a.m., bringing a bouquet of flowers for Mother and me, which look lovely in a vase on the dining room table.

The family brought their appetites, too, so we heated a variety of leftovers and were ready to sit down about 11:30. We had a choice of leftover spaghetti, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and stew, along with whole kernel corn and sliced tomatoes with cottage cheese. For dessert, I had prepared a combination of fresh fruits...strawberries, grapes, apples, peaches, and Craisins.

After lunch, Daughter, Granddaughter and the kids made Halloween greeting cards. We spent the rest of the afternoon visiting, and then the family fixed sandwiches to eat before leaving around 4:30 p.m.

It was a wonderful, fun day.

Later, Hubbie and I fixed French toast for supper, and then settled in to watch TV. We watched the PG-13 move, "Sugar," about a young Dominican Republic man who comes to the States to play baseball. He struggles with the English language and American culture. His family depends on him to succeed, but he runs into problems, and takes a new path. Much of the movie is subtitled.
