Christmas Eve walk

We got a little more snow overnight and this morning like yesterday took my walk a little later than usual at 9:00.

I wanted to wait until the snow plow came by and spread the grit on the road before leaving.

I couldn't park in the parking lot by the lake because it was getting plowed so parked across the street at the church.

It was 32 degrees with some light misty fog.

Must have walked around 10,000 steps but didn't look at my step count before I started walking so don't know exactly.

Mostly just stayed walking around the cemeteries.

Went down to see the young bulls again.

Some more pictures of snow today but this time the sun wasn't out.

Here I am in the mirror in my new warm lined hooded sweatshirt.

Again no one out walking that I saw.

When I got back home I made some Cocktail Meatballs for tomorrow.

Also made Pumpernickel Bread Dip. Just using the dip though and not the pumpernickel bread with it.

(Haven't put the two recipes on my other blog yet but will do it soon)

Last thing to make were the Christmas Sugar Cookies.

Made the cookies but haven't made the icing yet or iced them - will have to do that tomorrow morning.

Yesterday in the mail came an ornament that my cousin Susan made for me along with a lovely touching note that brought tears to my eyes.  

The lace on the ornament was some of our gramma's.

Posting this a little earlier than usual because we are about to leave for church for the Christmas Eve service.  The service is early at 5:00 and we have to leave at 4:15.

Praying to get there safely - very foggy outside.

Happy Christmas Eve

Thanks for stopping by on this busy day.

Its Christmas Eve! 

Its the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, 

we smile a little easier, 

we cheer a little more. 

For a couple of hours out of the whole year, 

we are the people that we always hoped we would be.

Ginny - No, the milk bottles are always empty.

Milk Bottle Monday

It was only 11 degrees this morning and thought that was a bit chilly for walking so decided to wait until the sun came up and it was a little warmer.

While waiting I got a load of laundry washed and on the rack, read my Bible, and once Ken got up had breakfast.

Did the dishes, made the bed and at 9:15 it had warmed up to 19 so then I went to town for my walk.

The sun was shining brightly and by the time I had finished walking it was up to 29.

Didn't see anyone else out walking but there was evidence that someone was there earlier - footprints in the snow.

I had my grippers on my shoes again and stayed walking around the cemeteries and the ball park.

Some pictures I took along my way.

 

It was so nice walking out in the sunshine.

Steps for todays walk were 10,902

After lunch Ken wanted to go to Walmart to get a few things.

I knew it would be a bad idea with Christmas in two days but we went anyway.

It was a mad house and you don't find that very often up here.

To keep me from getting annoyed with people I started singing Christmas songs quietly and it worked.

Hard to be annoyed when singing. 🙂

Milk Bottles Number 11 and 12

Doing two this week because they are both kind of plain and no colored lettering on them so it is hard to read.

Both are quart bottles.

This one has D.C.S written on both sides and on the bottom of bottle it says 

Property of D.C.S. Inc. St Louis MO and number 56

This one says Highland Dairies on one side 

and the other says RETURN PROMPTLY

On bottom

Debbie, one of my friends at the stitching group made a beautiful Christmas

ball for each of us.  

They were all different colors and this is the one I picked out.

Well, that's going to be all for today.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a visit.

A happy day to you.
