Saturday, Aug. 24

Slept late this morning, until around 8 a.m. Did stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises after breakfast. Didn't do much else before lunch other than get ready for the day.

After lunch, I gathered ingredients and supplies for making jelly. Mother helped, and we made a batch of candy apple jelly. Got five half pints to use as gifts during the holidays.

Mother went to her puzzle afterward, Hubbie went out to work in the yard, and I did this and that until time to prepare supper.

Tonight, my supper plan was various leftovers...mashed potatoes and gravy, corn-on-the-cob, macaroni and cheese, cheesy rice, okra, and sauteed squash.

Just as I put the meal in the oven to heat, Niece and Daughter arrived. They brought a couple of rotisserie chickens with them, along with microwave mashed potatoes, and microwave asparagus.

While the meal heated, we visited. Niece said she was in the area, because she needed to deliver some clothes to her son, who was performing in a town about 45 minutes away. She didn't want to travel alone, so she called Daughter to ride with her.

The meal was very good, and afterward, we spent more time visiting until around 7:30, when Niece said she needed to head home.

We really enjoyed catching up on Niece's life. We don't get a chance to visit much, since Niece, who is a teacher, is very busy. I suggested that if she has no other plans she should come back next Saturday, since both Sis and Daughter will be here. She said she will see how things work out and try to come.

After Sis and Daughter left, Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house, and then he and I watched episodes of  "One Tree Hill."
