Friday, Sept. 23

We shot a satellite in the air...it'll fall to earth, we know not where. "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" cried Chicken Little. Hope no one is hit on the head by the falling debris. Could hurt worse than an acorn.

Up at 6:30 to get ready to go to water aerobics after breakfast. It was a very foggy morning again, and quite chilly. But the pool was gloriously warm. It won't stay that way, of course, because the lap swimmers don't like it. So I fully expect the temperature to drop by Monday. But it sure felt good today. Only fifteen of us showed up for aerobics this morning, though. Too bad the others didn't come...they sure would have enjoyed it.

Back home afterward, once I was ready for the day, I downloaded photos from our outing to the coffee house yesterday, as well as snapshots of the pumpkin Sis painted for me, and then uploaded them to my social network site.

In the meantime, Mother and Sis came over and began working on greeting cards. I joined them as soon as I'd finished with the photos. While we worked on cards, Hubbie ran errands to a couple of grocery stores to pick up sweet potatoes and a dozen yeast rolls I'd ordered from a downtown restaurant.

When he got back, though, I noticed that he'd forgotten the rolls. Seems he'd gotten distracted searching for sweet potatoes. At the first store he tried, he said the potatoes were 49 cents a pound, but they were the size of footballs. So he went to another grocery store, which had none at all. So he went to the WDCS, which did have sweet potatoes. He told the clerk at the register that one of the grocery stores had them for 49 cents a pound, so the store matched the price.

So he turned right around and went back to town. He drove the truck, because Sis and I needed the van to go to a graphics store to buy a variety of colors of paper to use as inserts in greeting cards. Sis was particularly interested in getting a gray to use in the pink and silver wedding card she had made.

When we got back, we got busy making more greeting cards for Caring Hands Hospice. We did this until around 3 p.m. Hubbie put the sweet potatoes in the oven, and later we had them with salmon fillet, canned whole kernel corn, and yeast rolls.

Afterward, Sis got ready to go home. She left around 6 p.m. Mother went to her house, and Hubbie and I relaxed in front of TV for the evening.
