Up at 7 a.m., so Hubbie could get ready to go to a Master Gardener meeting at 10 a.m. He was ready to go around 9 a.m., so he accompanied Mother to our house, and then ran a couple of errands before he went on to the meeting.
He delivered this week's word search puzzle contest to the newspaper office, and then went to the cable company office to see if the problem with our TV pixilating had something to do with their service, rather than our TV, since only the three main channels from the Capital City were affected.
He was told that, yes, the cable service was having a problem, and they were busy trying to rectify it. I guess they succeeded, because we didn't have the problem today. However, he didn't think to ask to have the work order for Monday cancelled from when he talked to a cable service rep on the phone yesterday.
While Hubbie was gone, I did stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises. Once I was ready for the day, I did household chores until lunchtime. In the meantime, Mother worked on her jigsaw puzzle.
Hubbie returned from his meeting just after noon. I had already fixed lunch for Mother...the remainder of the macaroni and cheese, and English peas...and I heated leftover mashed potatoes, rice, Swiss steak, and leftover veggies for Hubbie and me.
Afterward, Mother returned to her puzzle, and Hubbie and I ran a couple of errands...to the public library to pick up a couple of movies, and to the WDCS for a few groceries for our weekend, as well as a bunch of non-perishable grocery items, like canned goods and boxed foods, to donate to the "Help Stamp Out Hunger" food drive, sponsored by the Post Office. Mail carriers will pick up the bags of groceries on Saturday. I think this is a great project, and an easy way for folks to contribute.
Back home, I gathered ingredients for making a lasagna, and Mother put it together. Got the lasagna in the oven just after 3:30, and then relaxed until time to finish supper preparations. At 4:30, Mother buttered French bread for the oven, and I fixed individual salads.
The meal was good, and there's enough for a couple of more meals. Afterward, Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house, and then he and I watched TV...a few one-hour shows I'd recorded on DVR.

Hubbie seems to be batting a thousand, lately...last night, when I was getting ready for bed, I went into the office and noticed that he'd left the telephone receiver off the hook. It'd been that way for several hours, I guess.
This morning, after he'd showered, he took his dirty clothes to the laundry room. But I guess he didn't realize that the white cat had followed him, so he shut her in there. It wasn't until quite a while later that Mother heard her meowing to be let out. She wasn't a happy camper.
