Up around 8 a.m. this morning. I dressed for exercise, but I was in no particular hurry to get to it. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house around 9:30, and we started a pot of Dragon Soup. Mother diced carrots, onions, celery, and banana peppers for it. I sauteed the veggies in olive oil, then added a can of no salt diced tomatoes to them, plus a variety of spices...pepper, no salt seasoning, paprika, oregano, basil, thyme, chili powder...as well as garlic from a jar, and let the mixture simmer for about an hour, while I exercised and got ready for the day.
Later, I added containers of leftover veggies that I had accumulated in the freezer, and let the soup simmer for a while longer.
For lunch, Mother had a tilapia fish sandwich, and Hubbie and I had PB&J sandwiches. We had our lunch in the den, where we watched a 2010 movie borrowed from the library..."Meek's Cutoff," starring Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, and Will Patton.
A group of settlers try to cross the Oregon desert under the leadership of a mountain man, who gets lost, but does not admit it. Conditions become more and more harsh, until they meet up with an Indian. The Indian does not speak English, but he appears to know where he is going, and seems to want to lead the group. Who does the group choose to lead them? Good movie.
After the movie, Mother went to her jigsaw puzzle, and Hubbie and I read our novels on our e-readers.
Around 3 p.m., hubbie accompanied Mother to her house, because Hubbie and I were scheduled to go to a basketball game at the college. I dished up a serving of the soup for Mother to heat at suppertime, and sent a hamburger bun with her to toast for bread to go with the soup.
We left to go to the game around 3:30. The game was at 4 p.m. This was the first day, I haven't needed to wear a coat for the walk to the gym.
We were surprised shortly after we were seated to see Hubbie's sister and his nephew arrive with Niece and the baby. It was a good game---our team managed to get a 15 point margin, but then let the other team dwindle the score, until they ended up winning by only five points.
Hubbie's sister and his nephew were not able to stay in town after the game, so they headed home, about two hours away.
Back home, Hubbie and I were plenty ready for the soup we made today, along with toasted and buttered hamburger buns. While we ate, we enjoyed watching our favorite state basketball team, as they played to a narrow-margin win.
Spent the rest of the evening watching, "Bones" epsiodes.
