Saturday, May 26

Up around 7:30, and did stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises after breakfast. Once I was ready for the day, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, where she worked on her jigsaw puzzle. Spent the rest of the morning putting stuff away from the trip, doing laundry, getting birthday cards ready to mail, planning a menu for the week, catching up on writing blogs, etc.

After lunch, Hubbie and I went in search of a bird feeder, because Mother's was broken when a squirrel knocked it down. Before we came back home, we stopped by a fast food restaurant to get three frosty ice cream treats. It was a good day for these, and we enjoyed them.

Hubbie and I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the 2001 movie, "Bandits," starring Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton. This PG-13, very funny comedy, is about two mismatched convict escapees, who are bank robbers that fall in love with the same woman (Cate Blanchett).

After supper, Mother stuck around to watch the 2009 movie, "The Perfect Game." This delightful PG film, set in 1957, is the true story of an underdog Little League team of impoverished, but determined kids from Mexico who overcome hardships and bigotry to go on to win the Little League World Series title. Very heartwarming movie.

Aferward, I accompanied Mother back to her house, and then Hubbie and I spent the rest of the evening watching one-hour shows.

Tomorrow, we will go to a town about 45 minutes away to spend a few hours with Hubbie's daughter at her family's lake house.
