Wednesday, July 11

Up at 6:30 to get ready to go to water aerobics. Pleasant morning, since the temp was moderate. The pool felt wonderful, as usual. Nineteen of us showed up. One member, who hasn't been there in a long time, arrived with huge black and blue bruises on her face and chest. She tripped on somethng a week or so ago and fell straight forward. It's a wonder she didn't break her face and a limb or two.

Back home, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, where I helped her get things ready for slicing zucchini and yellow squash, along with bell pepper and onion, and a few green tomatoes, all to be cooked for supper later.

While she did this, I got ready for the day. It was around 11:30 by this time, so I heated leftover chicken noodle soup for our lunch, and then encouraged Mother to go to the couch for a nap.

While she rested, Hubbie and I went to a town about fifteen miles away to pick up cantaloupes and watermelon from our favorite farmer. Then we stopped by our favorite computer store to see if they carried cell phone cases. I found a nice sturdy one for five dollars. The store has a lot of stuff on clearance, as they change over to strictly a computer sales and repair shop.

Then we went to a farmer's market here in town, where we picked up green beans to go along with the last of the crop from our garden, as well as a box of locally grown peaches.

Mother was awake when we got back, so we relaxed with a cup of coffee, and then later we finished supper tasks. Mother salted the green tomatoes, and Hubbie peeled potatoes to be boiled. I started the pan of squash cooking. Mother prepared a box of cornbread mix, and coated the tomatoes with egg and a cornmeal mixture. I mashed the potatoes, fried the tomatoes, put the cornbread in the oven, and heated leftover white gravy. It was a yummy supper. We're all fond of veggie suppers.

Afterward, I accompanied Mother to her house, helped her take a shower, and threw a load of laundry in the washer.

Turned the TV off for a change tonight, and occupied ourselves with reading for a while. Later, we watched the 2012 LMN movie, "Deadly Hope." A female obstetrician is in love with her married physican partner at a fertility clinic. The partner is murdered. Later, the obstetrician meets another man at a charity event, and this man is murdered, too. It now becomes apparent, that she is the real target.
