Then and now

My new umbrella has been in the laundry room

and this morning I thought I might as well put it in the Jeep.

( that's where I always keep it)

No rain was expected but as I was walking I

felt a few drops of rain and went to the Jeep and got the umbrella.

The rain came down in buckets so I got to use the new umbrella.

It only rained for 5 minutes and then just cloudy.

Temperature was 72.

Yesterday I was looking on the internet for a picture of the old

post office in town when it was in use but couldn't find anything.

But I did come across this old picture of the

Zion Cemetery which is the one on top of the hill.

Don't know what year it was taken.

Here it is this morning.

The new sign was moved to the left.

Walked down the main road towards home, up Sale Barn a ways,

then both cemeteries, and the new road loop.

Continued around town till I had all my steps in.

Anna and her dad Mark were out walking

and saw Rebecca out too.

Finished up this week house cleaning.

Made some of those Forgotten Cookies.

I made the little bite ones.

RECIPE

 This afternoon I went outside and pulled weeds

out of the gravel around the house.

It's an overwhelming job and the rest I'm not going to worry about 

and just let the weeds die on their own.

Then I sat out on the front porch for a while.

Supper tonight is soft shell tacos.

It's been a good day and for that I am thankful.

Thank you for coming by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Debby - Yes, the old post office is abandoned. It's been like that ever since we've lived here.

The Old Post Office

A mostly sunny morning walk with some clouds around.

Temperature was 68, a slight breeze and

sunrise was 6:46

Walked around town and stopped at the post office to

mail a birthday card to a friend.

There is an old building along the main street in town

which was the old post office.

Walked around the ball park loop, the new road loop, and

the lower cemetery.

Had all my steps in before I got to walk around the cemetery up the hill.

School has started up again.

I thought it started next week after Labor Day but they went a week early.

Mike, bus number 46 driver who has been waving to me for the 13

years I have been walking here is driving his bus again this year.

Nice to see him again after the summer.

Other bus drivers wave to me too but Mike has been here the longest.

The KitKat ice cream I had last night was quite good

and it did taste like the KitKat candy

but it does not replace my favorite of

Chocolate Chip Mint.

Did some house work.

Laundry

Wiped down the kitchen cabinets

Washed the kitchen floor

Cleaned the bathroom

Sat out on the front porch and read.

Reading a Rhys Bowen book,

The Castle in the Glen

and it is rather good!!!

Having supper in just a little while

and then it's off for the Wednesday evening church service.

Have to stop at the library on my way to pick up a couple of DVD's.

Library is open late till 7:30 on Wednesdays.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed your day.

HappyK 🙂
