Up at 8 a.m. The first thing Hubbie did was hang the flag of the well house in honor of a national day of remembrance and moourning for Americans lost in the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001.
Since it was pleasant this morning, Hubbie and I went for a bike ride. As usual, lots of grasshoppers were warming themselves on the pavement. Sandpiper-like birds skittered here and there, taking advantage of an easy breakfast of the critters.
Only two dogs followed us today...the neighbor's black lab, and her offspring, a chocolate lab female. Along the way, a herd of black cattle were gathered under a tree near a shallow pond.
After our ride, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, and once I was ready for the day, we watched the second half of "Lawrence of Arabia." This is a really great movie, but the director, for some reason, chose to feature a black screen, while the intro to all the film's music played. This lasts several minutes, and is annoying.
Following lunch, Mother went to the couch for a nap, while Hubbie and I ran errands...to the library to return the DVDs we borrowed last week, and choose four more; to the newspaper office to drop off this week's word search puzzle contest; and to my water aerobic friend's house to pick up pots of amaryllis.
I thought we were to pick up small pots of the plants, but we didn't really see any on her front porch except two really large pots of them. We decided these must be the ones, and so Hubbie lugged them to the van.
After that, we went to the WDCS, where I purchased a new printer, and we picked up photos I'd ordered, plus a couple of $3 DVD movies, and a few groceries.
Later, around 4 p.m., we went to the college down the road to attend a free picnic, where hamburgers and hot dogs were served, along with chips, and cookies from one of the bakeries. I opted for a hamburger, Mother chose a hot dog, and Hubbie had both.
Afterward, I accompanied Mother to her house, and waited for her to shower before coming back home.
Hubbie and I spent the rest of the evening watching TV.
