Make a joyful noise to the Lord,

all you lands!

Serve the Lord with Gladness!
Come before His presence with singing!

Whipps Garden Cemetery

This morning I walked over to the little cemetery.  Only one car passed me on the road that was so busy during the week which the cemetery is on. 
The cemetery was even better than I thought it would be.  It is very well maintained and many of the grave stones I saw were from the mid 1800's.  Hard to read most of them.  I loved walking around there and will walk this cemetery route many times again.  The sun wasn't quite up all the way yet and I'm thinking these pictures would have been better if the sun had been out.  I had a hard time leaving.  It was so peaceful and pleasant wandering around on the paths.

Annie Vernay's  Grave

While walking this morning I came across a few deer and a downy woodpecker.  I only saw two other people out and they were both walking dogs.
It really was nice discovering the cemetery.  I can't believe I had never seen it before having passed that way so many times in the car.
I walked 6.2 miles.

I wasn't back from walking long and left again.  Every year my church has a huge Easter Egg Hunt for the whole area and many people come to it.  Today was the day for filling all the little plastic eggs with candy. 
People brought in food for a brunch which we ate before the filling of the eggs began.  I brought those chocolate cookies that I made yesterday.
There were lots of eggs to fill but it went amazingly fast with so many people there working.  I filled many eggs with the others at my table.  I was the counter for our table and we filled a little over 800 eggs.  The goal was to have 5000 eggs.  In 55 minutes we were done! I'll hear the final count tomorrow at church. 

So now I'm home and it is just after 12:00.  Ken should be home in a little while from the old house and we will then go out for bite to eat and do some errands.

So that's been my day so far.
Hope you are having a great Saturday.

At home in the kitchen

Not a sunny morning walk for me today.  It was damp and cloudy which made the 49 degrees seemed a bit cooler.  Still it was a great morning for walking.  I walked 6.7 miles and went over to the lake.  The sidewalk closed signs were still up but no workers there.  I decided to take the detour just because I like walking in the woods.  Here is some bamboo I came across.  The path is just off to the left.

Few people walking around the lake today, at least while I was there but now I'm seeing more fishermen.  A couple of boats were out on the lake too.
Lots of birds, geese, and ducks about seeming to enjoy the beginning of another day.

********************

As soon as I got home I put a pot roast in the slow cooker to cook all day.  I decided not to put potatoes in with it because I've been craving mashed potatoes for a few days now so I'll make that. 

Later in the day the sun showed itself for brief periods of time but it has been mostly cloudy and not as warm as it as been so I didn't sit outside.

I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies for tomorrow.  I ended up eating two of them.  I'm skipping lunch though because of it.

Now I have to clean up the kitchen.

Hope your Friday is a good one.
Happyone

 Exercise, play, move.

Stretch, feel, reach, sweat.

Skip, dance, hug!

Use the body God gave you,

don't let it rot.
