Friday, Jan. 21

Up around 8 a.m., and did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast. While I was on the treadmill, both the pest control guy and the propane guy came by. Neither one needed to come inside.

Hubbie helped Mother come over once I was ready for the day. No more snow fell today, but overnight low temps made Mother's porch slick, as well as the path to our house.

After a lunch of leftover chili, Hubbie and I ran errands. While we were out, we stopped at several places around town, so I could shoot some snow photos. Then we stopped by the pharmacy before going to a vet's clinic to buy dog food, and on to the WDCS for a few grocery items, including ham slices to make 11-bean soup tomorrow as our donation to the art gallery's Souper Saturday fundraising event. I also picked up a low-fat, low sodium, ham slice to use in making split pea soup for ourselves.

While we were gone, Mother started a pot of chicken stewing to make chicken noodle soup for supper. Mother made muffins yesterday, using some milk that had soured, and they were delicious with the soup tonight. There's nothing like a steaming bowl of soup, stew, or chili on a wintry night...seems to warm a body all the way to the toes.

Afterward, Hubbie accompanied Mother back to her house, and then we did our usual thing of watching TV for the evening.

We started with the 1992, R-rated movie, "Unlawful Entry," starring Kurt Russell and Ray Liotta. Reviews call it "a creepy thriller about an outwardly friendly cop (Liotta), who attaches himself to a married couple." Turns out the cop is a psychopath.
