Bear with me on this post. I'm liable to go anywhere with it.

First, I must comment on two terrific TV shows I watched last night. 60 minutes featured a Medal of Honor recipient. Very moving and inspirational. Heart breaking, too. I really hate war--these recent ones in particular. How tragic the outcomes.

Then I watched "Great Migrations" on the National Geographic channel. Amazing photography of remarkable events in the animal world. They forgot one great migration: retirees flooding to Florida in the winter.

While my cold is about gone, I just read (Dr. Mercola) that exercise is the best way to avoid catching colds. We get an average of 2-4 colds per year (!), but exercising will decrease that number. Evidently, my body didn't get that memo. The article also stated that hydrogen peroxide in the ears, at the onset of a cold, will cut down on the severity of the cold. Don't know why, but it works. Hmmm.

Went to town yesterday to get some groceries. I hear Aldi is rapidly expanding store openings all over the U.S., as people are finally discovering how cheap food is there. I've extolled their virtues for years, saving thousands of dollars.
I also went to the library for books and their annual art fair. I perused, but didn't find anything to my liking--at least in my price range. I usually buy something to support the library. Wait 'til next year.

Then I spent over an hour with my father, watching the Indy Colts, and touring his new house-to-be. He may be moving in within two weeks. He's pretty excited about it all, which, for his age (92), is heart warming. Then my sister will have "his" (old) house to herself. Plus, they'll be out of each other's hair. It's been a strained relationship, lately.

Later today, I get my hair cut. My June "summer butch" is all grown out, so it's time for a trim. I'm also going to gather persimmons (from cousin's yard) to turn into pulp. Not one of my favorite chores, but I love pers. pudding and bread for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yesterday, I made an apple crisp with apple butter mixed in. Oh yes!
