Friday, August 16

Up at 7:30. It was such a beautifully cool morning that I wanted to go for a bike ride. So after breakfast, we donned our helmets and headed out. Didn't get far, though, because we discovered the tires on our bikes were low. Phooey.

So I did a regular session of stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises. In the meantime, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, and then he went to a gas station of fill the air tank. Back home, he filled the bicycle tires. Maybe now we can go for a ride tomorrow morning.

Got ready for the day, then did this and that around the house until lunch time. We didn't accomplish much of anything after lunch...basically just goofed off.

Later, Mother and I put together burritos for supper, and I made a cheesy rice dish for the oven, using leftover rice. Served the meal with coleslaw and sliced tomatoes.

Hubbie accompanied Mother home afterward, and then he and I watched TV. Basically, a really dull day, but restful. We needed a down day after several busy ones filled with birthday parties, family visits, and meetings.

A movie that we watched was "Captain Correlli's Mandolin,"  a 2001 film starring Nicholas Cage. During WWII, in Greece, a woman's fisherman fiancee leaves to fight with the Greek army. In the meantime, she falls in love with an Italian commander. Good movie. Rated "R" for violence and brief nudity.
