Another month gone, already. Can't say we'll miss the hot weather and the drought. At least it exited leaving behind it some wet weather, which has helped break the seemingly never-ending dry spell.
We are grateful for the rain, and that tropical depression Isaac didn't also bring flooding and a power outage. We were prepared for the worst, but happy to get the best. Our thoughts and prayers are with our neigbors to the south, though, since Isaac ripped through their communities as a hurricane, causing flooding, massive power outages, and evacuations.
We were up around 7:30, and after breakfast, I did stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house while I was doing this.
We didn't accomplish anything for the morning. After lunch, we watched two episodes of a six-part series from the BBC..."Mansfield Park," by Jane Austen. This series was filmed in 1986, so it doesn't translate sharply to wide screen TV, but the story is good, so we want to continue with it.
Afterward, Mother headed to the couch for a nap. Hubbie and I did this and that for the afternoon. Around 3:30, Mother finished her nap, and helped to prepare supper by making slaw dressing for coleslaw, and making garlic bread.
Supper tonight was a buffet of leftovers...the remainder of the beans and ham, a potato dish, spaghetti and sauce, coleslaw, and a choice of cornbread and garlic bread. Mother sampled some of all of it, so she was comfortably full.
Accompanied Mother to her house afterward, and waited until she showered before coming back home.
Tonight Hubbie and I set up the boom box reaio and listened to our favorite college football team in their first game of the season. This game was offered on pay-per-view, but we were satisfied to listen ot it on radio. And we were glad that our team won, if not by as wide a margin as we expected.
