Day 16

INSIDE

INSIDE the post office.

Coming in the door.

Inside where all the boxes are.

These mail boxes people rent.

Open 24 hours a day.

Mail is also delivered to your house.

Office closed when I was there this morning but will open promptly at 8:00.

70 degrees this morning, no breeze and a mix of sun and clouds.

A bit hazy starting out.

The sun is trying to pop out and eventually does.

Walked around both cemeteries and the ball park loop.

Continued over to the DG Market and then back through town

and up and down most of the side streets to the pond.

The three geese family decided to go for a little walk too.

Sheila was out running again and

Anna and her Dad Mark were out walking.

Baked a birthday cake.

Chocolate Cake with chocolate frosting.

I usually bake a cake in a 9 x 13 pan but made a layer cake

this time using 2 9" round pans.

The cake is for David and tomorrow is his birthday.

It ended up being pretty windy which was nice with

the breezes blowing through the house.

We sat out on the front porch for quite a while

this afternoon reading.

That's all for today.

Hope you had a wonderful Thursday.

Thanks so much for coming by.

I am more and more convinced that our happiness

 or our unhappiness 

depends far more on the way we meet the events of life 

than on the nature of those events themselves.

A mix of sun and clouds as I went on my morning walk today.

It was 65 degrees with a little breeze.

Stayed to the left side of the main road and walked around

both of the cemeteries and to the ball park and walked around there too.

Then back to the pond.

Continued up to the main road and walked up and down that and

and also up and down sides streets.

Saw a couple of deer go running into the corn field here.

Only the one bull out in the barnyard.

A new fire hydrant was put in at the building site for the new houses 

I didn't see Sheila but did see her car in the parking lot

so she was somewhere around town.

😊    🧢    🌤    🥾

We haven't had French toast in quite a while so

I made us some for breakfast.

Haven't done any diamond art for a while so today

I made a birthday card for someone whose birthday

is this Friday.

Did some more reading and knitting too.

Supper is cooking on the stove.

Having Mexican Beef Skillet.

That's it for today.

Hope you enjoyed your Wednesday

and thanks for stopping by.

Happiness is a butterfly, 

which when pursued, 

is always just beyond your grasp, 

but which, 

if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
