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

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.

Umbrella

Happy September
68 degrees and cloudy this morning for walking.
Sunrise 6:45

Walked over to the library first to put a DVD down the drop. 
Then continued to the industrial park and walked around there.



Back to town and around the ball park loop and new road loop.

Stopped to talk to Anna and her dad Mark.

Pretty quiet around town on this first day of September.

We only needed a few things this week so didn't make
the trip to either Walmart this week.
We just went to Deep Creek to the Shop and Save
which is just 7 miles down the road.
We went after lunch which was unusual for us.
Usually if we have to go anywhere we go in the morning.
We got a new kind of ice cream.
I thought it was by Edie but couldn't find the name on the container.
Anyway it is called KitKat.
Just had to try it and will have some tonight!


I'm looking forward to a rainy walk.
Why you ask?
Because Ken surprised me with a nice big new umbrella.
My old one after 14 years has seen better days.
I now have a nice big pink one and will be easily
seen on those rainy mornings.



That's going to be it for today.
Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day.
HappyK😊
