Tuesday, Sept. 13

Slept late this morning, and didn't get up until around 8 a.m. Did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast. Shortly after I finished exercising, the Caring Hands Hospice volunteer coordinator called to invite Mother and me to lunch at a fish house...a goodbye gathering for one of the members, who is moving out of state.

Once I was ready for the day, I called the scrapbook club members to remind them of our meeting Thursday, and then I prepared a sympathy card and a birthday card for mailing.

Around 11:30, we went to the fish house. Hubbie joined us for the Dutch Treat lunch, so that we could make this our main meal and then just have sandwiches for supper. Mother and Hubbie opted for deep fried catfish, but I chose grilled fish instead. We all ordered baked potatoes.

At the luncheon, we learned that one of the Caring Hands staff members
lost her father unexpectedly last week. Since we don't know her maiden name, we failed to see the obituary in the newspaper. As soon as we returned I prepared another sympathy card.

Mother and I spent part of the rest of the afternoon gathering materials we'll need for a scrapbook club meeting Thursday. Our project this time is creating pages featuring the recent wedding of a grandson.

Afterward, we relaxed. Mother worked on her jigsaw puzzle for a while, and then went home. Hubbie spent his afternoon running errands and working in the yard.

Later, we watched a 2005 Lifetime Movie Network film, "Crimes of Passion." A woman looking for a job promotion, decides to lure a competitor to her room and then sue him for sexual harassment. Blackmail and murder ensue.

Then we watched the 1992 movie, "Passenger 57," starring Wesley Snipes. Terrorists take control of a passenger jet, and a security expert (Snipes) has to save the day.
