Friday, July 15

Went right to sleep again last night, and was awakened by the alarm at 6:30 a.m. Hopped up, had breakfast, and got ready to go to water aerobics.

Fog this morning made the grass in yards look jeweled and teal colored, and gave the bell tower on the tree-covered hill of the college campus business building a mysterious appearance. Very pretty drive to the pool, where once again the water felt just wonderful for swimming, and the aerobics session was energizing.

Our young lifeguard commented this morning that he was a little sleepy, since he was up until after 3 a.m. Not because he wanted to, but because his other job as a movie theater employee required it...last night was the midnight showing of the new Harry Potter movie.

I was back home around 9:30, but didn't accomplish much after I got ready for the day. I did wrap and pack into a basket the dishes for the place settings that Mother and I will enter in the fair. Mother had made a gift bag from wallpaper this morning, and I helped her find matching tissue to put in it, and then filled out a fair entry ticket for it. Otherwise, I was unproductive.

After a PB&J sandwich lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to the bank, to a greeting card store, and to the WDCS, where I satisfied quite a long grocery list.

Back home, we didn't accomplish much. Mother napped and worked puzzles, Hubbie played on the computer upstairs, and I played word games on my Kindle. We need to take advantage of these down times, because the next two weeks are going to be very busy.

Later, we had a supper of whole wheat pancakes, coffee, and prunes and fresh orange slices for dessert...strange to some, but good to us. Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I watched the 2009 mystery movie, "Law Abiding Citizen," starring Jamie Foxx, and Gerard Butler. A killer is set free on a plea bargain, and a frustrated man decides to exact his own revenge by not only killing the killer of his family, but going after the district attorney and anyone else involved in the case as well. He even manages to wreak havoc from a prison cell. A bloody thriller (not in the British sense...it really is bloody).
