Up around 8 a.m. on this sunny promise-of-spring day that eventually reached about 70 degrees. Did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast.
While I was doing this, Hubbie took the snow village down off the mantel, and once I was ready for the day, I put the regular decorations up there...silk plants and several birdhouses, handmade decorator plates, and a picture of birds. Christmas is officially over at our house now.
Other than decorating the mantel and doing a few loads of laundry, I didn't do much else this morning. Mother came over mid-morning and seemed disinterested in starting a project, like making Valentine cards. So after lunch, while Hubbie went to a grocery store to pick up more discounted canned veggies, Mother and I went out into the backyard and sat in lawn chairs to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.
Later, we watched the first episode of a four-part series on PBS..."Downton Abbey," set in a 1912 Edwardian country house, where the family and their servants are in crises over who will inherit when the current head dies. There are no sons in the family, and the three daughters are not eligible to inherit. The recent sinking of the Titanic has taken the life of a cousin who was next in line. Now a third cousin once removed seems likely to inherit, and the first episode ends with his visit to the Abbey.
Following the movie, Hubbie and I went to the WDCS to get a rotisserie chicken and coleslaw for supper, along with a few other groceries. We had the chicken and coleslaw with leftover Parmesan potatoes from last night.
Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I settled in to watch TV, including our favorite college basketball team as they played to a great win.
Then we watched the movie, "The Horseman," a 2008, R-rated film, starring Peter Marshall. A father in Australia loses his daughter to murder, and then travels the outback taking violent revenge on the murderers. Along the way, he learns some disturbing things about his daughter, and about the method of her death. Graphically violent movie.
