Monday, Feb. 21

In honor of President's Day, Hubbie hung the flag on the wellhouse first thing this morning, but had to bring it back in shortly after lunch because of rain.

Up at 7:30, and did a treadmill session and weights exercises after breakfast. Mother came over before I got on the treadmill and relaxed until I was ready for the day.

We spent some time this morning planning this week's meals, and then Hubbie and I ran errands...to leave information with our tax preparer, to the health store for vitamins, and finally to the WDCS, where we bought a new land line phone with message machine, some health and hygiene items, and a few groceries.

Back home, I prepared a lesson plan for tonight's session with my student. However, about an hour before we were to meet, her daughter called to let me know that she is nursing a sick child and could not attend. We scheduled for next Monday.

Later, for supper, we had leftover Cajun flavored turkey roll, with carrots, potatoes, and cranberry sauce.

Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I did our usual thing of watching TV, including the movie, "The Crucible," a 1996, PG-13 film, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder, and Paul Scofield, about the Salem witch hunts.

Adapted from an Arthur Miller play, this version puts a new spin on the 1692 Salem witch trials, from the perspective of a teenage girl, who uses fear and superstition to her advantage as she, along with other young girls, set in motion hysteria that results in the killing of innocent victims.

On a more pleasant note: the American goldfinch birds are getting more and more yellow by the day...another sign that spring is on its way.
