Tuesday, Sept. 3

Up at 6 a.m. to get ready to hit the road home. After a breakfast of fruit and more zucchini bread, we lost no time in packing up. We were ready to leave by 8 a.m.

The trip was uneventful, and we enjoyed the beautiful hills of that part of the state. This mountain area rivals any state for fall color displays, though autumn is still several weeks away. Today, the trees were green and lovely.

We didn't picnic on the way today, since Hubbie's ex offered to spring for a restaurant lunch. We stopped at a buffet restaurant about an hour away from home and enjoyed a hot meal, which was welcome after a few sandwich lunches and suppers.

We dropped Hubbie's ex off at her car around 1 p.m., and then we arrived at our house close to 2 p.m. Daughter had left only a few minutes earlier, so Mother was not alone in the house very long.

It was a good trip (except for the strain of the wedding), but we were glad to be back home.

Later, for supper, I scrambled eggs with cheese and ham, and served them with garden tomatoes, with slices of Sis's homemade bread, and cups of fresh coffee.

Afterward, Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house, and then we watched TV for a while. We were really pooped, so it wasn't long before we showered and hit the sack. I decided that we would not set the clock for 6 a.m. (to go to water aerobics), but sleep until we woke up naturally. We needed the rest more than I needed the exercise.
