A Lasagne Saturday

Today was much busier than our usual Saturday. John left early to go to Lula Lake on Lookout Mountain for a hike and field trip with some folks from the Photo Society. He said the hike was much more strenuous and longer than he had expected. But he got some nice photos, and the weather was gorgeous!

I went to the library to pick up some books, and wound up going on to a Saturday trip to Wal-Mart to get lasagne ingredients. And making lasagne pretty much took up the rest of the day. There was no supply of lasagne in the freezer, and I really needed to remedy that. I fixed a small one for supper tonight, but mostly they're for the freezer.

While the sauce was simmering, I watched The Savages. It's a 2007 movie with Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Philip Bosco. These are superb performances, but a very distressing movie. The situation is much too close to home - with the two siblings who were estranged from their father, having to take care of him in the last few weeks of his life.

John got home in time to watch a couple of not-at-all close football games. Georgia beat LSU, and Alabama had no trouble at all with Tennessee. Tennessee is having its worst season in years.

Today's photos are John's from his hike today - the falls at Lula Lake, and an abstract of fallen leaves in a still pool.
