Sunday, June 3

Up late again, around 8 a.m. Skipped my exercises and went ahead and got ready for the day. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, where she prepared veggies for a pork roast. I browned the roast and put it in the slow cooker with the veggies and cans of low-sodium beef and chicken broths.

While the roast cooked we watched the first episode of the "Hatfields and McCoys," mini-series from the History Channel. Around 11:30 a.m., I boiled the potatoes that Hubbie had peeled earlier, mashed them, and made gravy. Served the meal with individual cups of applesauce, and slices of yeast bread and margarine.

After lunch, we continued watching parts 2 and 3 of the mini-series. In researching this famous feud, I found the mini-series plays with the facts a little, but it's still pretty close to the timeline. The mini-series, starring Kevin Costner, is reported to be the number one ad-supported non-sports telecast in cable TV history. Those who missed it can see it online at the History Channel website. It's pretty interesting.

Following the movie, I accompanied Mother to her house. While I was there, a message on the cell phone warned of an approaching thunderstorm. We turned on the TV and learned that the storm was in the southern part of the county, though there was a tornado watch for the whole county. We got a tiny bit of rain this morning, and more would be welcome, though we don't want tornadoes.

Later, we watched an LMN 2007 movie, "The Bad Son." Based on a true story, a serial killer is aided by his Mother, who works in the police department.

We finished our movie marathon with another LMN movie: the 2010 "Next Stop, Murder." Two young women frequently meet on a bus, get acquainted, and begin exchanging information about family problems. Then one of them proposes committing a murder for the other, if she'll return the favor and kill someone for her.

Thunderstorms finally rolled through our part of the county around 7:30 p.m. Not sure how much rain they produced. Will have to wait until Hubbie checks the rain gauge tomorrow.
