Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

ABC Friday

At 9 degrees this morning it was just a little bit too cold for me to go walking.
Slippery in town also.
Got part of my steps inside with loops around the basement.

Ken had some work to do at church today and I went along to help.
I did what I could to help and then let him work and I went in the activity center and walked laps around there.
Once around the perimeter is 175 steps.  
I got in 5,000 steps there. ๐Ÿฅพ


We were back home at lunchtime.

I read ๐Ÿ“š and knitted ๐Ÿงถ this afternoon and now it's time to get the pizza ๐Ÿ•made and in the oven.

MY ABC'S

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

I had a bit of trouble coming up with a Q word for this week.
The best I could come up with is Q is for QUARTZ. I know, pretty lame.

My kitchen counter tops are Quartz and I am very happy with them.
At first I wanted Corian because that's what I had in the last 3 houses I've lived.

Picking out counters for this house I liked the Quartz colors better so went with that.
Well now that I have the Quarts I like it a lot.
Easy to clean and love them for rolling out dough.


That's been my Friday so far and it's been another good day.
Hope you had a good one too.
Thanks for coming by.

Cancelled

Not good walking in town weather so had to get my steps inside today.
12 degrees, snowing, and windy.

It was Blankets for Babies this morning but sorry to say it was cancelled because of the weather.  We still don't need more blankets for the babies but we are making blankets and pillows for the seniors in nursing homes.

I was asked if I would make a weave-it blanket with pink in it for one of ladies. Her granddaughter arriving in a couple of months so I made some squares for that this morning. Made 6 with 64 to go.


Did a few chores around the house.
Started reading a library book, The Widow by John Grisham.

Supper tonight is hamburgers and tater tots.

Hope your day was a good one.
Thanks for coming by.
