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

Baby Silvia wearing her hat

 It was pretty warm this morning at 37 degrees.
There was no wind and it was cloudy.

Had a nice walk around town avoiding the icy places.
Both the cemeteries were just a bit snowy and NOT slippery.
Someone had cleared the ice off the ball park loop so
I got to walk there today too.
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone clear the path.


I don't know where all the walkers are lately,
but sure glad I'm out there! 😀
Found the first coin of the year - a penny!💰

☁️    😀    ☁️

Did a load of laundry and hung on the drying rack before
we headed out to Walmart for food shopping.
Also stopped at Walgreens and got gas before coming back home.

I've been moving some things around the living room in my head
the last few days but want to start first thing in the morning
because it's going to take most of the day to do.
Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow!

Finished reading the first book of 2026,
Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen.
I've read a few of her books now and have liked every one.

Liz sent a picture of baby Silvia wearing the little hat
that I knitted.
What a sweet baby girl. 💕


That's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Debby - I think you have the wrong impression of me walking. 🙂 I don't power walk, just take a walk.  I don't walk at all on ice. That is why my walk around town is haphazard, I only walk down streets without ice.  If it is just snow it isn't slippery so I can walk on it.  I'm afraid of falling on the ice too. 🙂

Walking in Town 😀

Happy Days, I'm back to morning walks in town. ðŸ˜€
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my walk!!!
It was 22 degrees, clear, and no wind.
Sunny at the end of my walk.
My heel still bothering me some but very manageable
with the heel inserts.
Sunrise 7:38
Still not getting lighter in the morning but that will change on Wed.


Walking was a bit haphazard around town avoiding the slippery spots.
Went around both cemeteries.
Wasn't slippery on the snow.



Stopped in at the doctors office when it opened.
Ken has some more blood work to be done on Thursday and wanted
to make sure the paper work got put in.

Thought I might see someone else out walking but there was only me.
Kids back to school today so the buses and more cars were back.

Started the usual weekly house cleaning chores for this week this morning.

Did a little reading and knitting as I'm known to do most afternoons.
Dale's throw blanket is coming along.
I just have 40 more rows.
That sounds like a lot but it will go fairly quickly.

Last evening was a bit sad at church because it was 
Pastor Matt, our youth pastor and his wife Courtney's last day.
They have been with us the last 8 years and we all have come to love them.
They have a wonderful ministry with the youth and it will
be very hard to replace them.
The will surely be missed.
God has called them into youth evangelism.
We had a good-bye get together after church last evening and there were
tears of sadness but happy memories too and anticipation of
what God has in store for them in the future.

Laura who sends me the pictures with the Bible verses
sent me this one today.
Pastor Matt and Courtney.
He's a big guy 6'5" with an even bigger heart. 


Well, I'm off now to get supper which is shrimp and fried rice.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful Monday.
HappyK 💕
