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

Anna Says Thank You

 A lot of clouds and a little sun this morning.
No breeze and the sun rose at 6:44.


It is just a bit too dark when I get to town to walk the cemeteries
so I walked around town first.

Then walked around all the 4 loops.
New Road
Ball Park
 Two Cemeteries

I was walking down the hill from the cemetery
and saw Anna and her dad Mark walking up to it.
When Anna saw me she ran all the way up the hill to meet me.
She was so excited to say thank you for the birthday card I made her.
It made me happy to be able to bring her so much joy with just a card.

The cosmos look so pretty all along the fence.


RuthAnn was out walking her dogs.
Stopped to say hi to the lady who runs the day care in town.
I saw Carrie coming down her driveway to start her walk as I was leaving.

☁️    😊    ⛅️    🚶‍♀️

Had to hang the sheets over the drying rack in the house
because it was a little drizzly out today.

We took our garbage to the dump this morning

I got some cleaning done.

Finished sewing the weave-it baby blanket together.
You can see it 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂

Ginny - I would say Ken cooks about 1/4 of the time.  A lot of times we cook together as well.

Sunday

 Happy Sunday



We sang The Old Rugged Cross at church this morning.
Probably one of the best known hymns and it happens
to be one of my favorites.
It brings tears to me eyes every time!!

The Old Rugged Cross
George Bennard

 1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.

2. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary.

3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me. 

4. To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share.

I am so thankful that our church still sings all the
old wonderful hymns.

I Peter 2:24

 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, 
that we, being dead to sins, 
should live unto righteousness: 
by whose stripes ye were healed.

A Blessed Sunday to you.
HappyK 🙂❤️
