Tuesday, Oct. 5

Slept late this cool morning, until around 8:30. The house was chilly, so it felt good to snuggle under warm blankets, and I was reluctant to roll out. By the time I did a treadmill session and weights exercises after breakfast, and got ready for the day, it was nearing 11 a.m.

Mother came over mid-morning and put together a pot of split pea soup to simmer for a few hours. She used low-fat, low-sodium ham in it, along with carrots, onions, celery, various spices, and chicken broth. It's a very tasty soup.

After lunch, Mother and I made a couple of greeting cards...a congratulatory one for Great-Granddaughter, who has been named queen of her second-grade class, and a thank-you card for Great-Granddaughter and Great-Grandson, who brought a bouquet of red dyed sunflowers and purple statis when they came to visit last Saturday.

Didn't do much else through the rest of the day before suppertime, other than play on my laptop and read the local newspaper. The pea soup was delicious and warming on this cool evening. Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I did the usual....watched TV, including the "Dancing With the Stars" elimination show.
