Friday, August 2

Up at 6 a.m. to get ready for water aerobics. Nice morning...not overly hot or humid. The hill leading to the college was pretty, with a cloud layer nestled among the trees. The variable oak trees closest to the road are winter bare, though, after hordes of caterpillars feasted on the leaves.

The pool was pleasant, and a dozen of us enjoyed the aerobics session. The pool will be closed now until August 19, since the coach/lifeguard has other business to attend to.

Back home, after a couple of cups of coffee, I was ready to go upstairs. I wasn't in the bathroom long, though, before I got a call on the land line from Niece in New York. We chatted for quite a while, and it was 11 a.m. before I went back upstairs.

By the time I was ready for the day, it was close to noon, so I fixed lunch. Hubbie had accompanied Mother to our house earlier, and she was working on a jigsaw puzzle.

After lunch, she went back to her puzzle, and Hubbie and I ran errands...to a grocery store to pick up this week's free item (a box of hamburger helper, which I'll bequeath to a family member), and cans of beef and chicken broth; to the health store for fish oil gels; and to the WDCS for a few grocery items. We decided today was a better day to go to that store, since we figure it'll be crowded wall-to-wall tomorrow with folks trying to take advantage of back-to-school tax-free days.

Spent the afternoon doing this and that, and then for supper we had spaghetti, with the same sides as last night.

Later, we watched a few episodes of "Wind at My Back." Around 10 p.m., Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house.
