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

My Day


 Another nice walk walk this morning.
55 degrees with lots of sun and just a little breeze.

Started my walk once again walking around both of the cemeteries.

Went down by the Drane house and took a look at the garden.
Volunteers take care of it.


Continued walking all around town, up and down all the side streets
and over to the ball park and around there as well.
Then back to the pond and the end of my walk.

Sheila's car was in the parking lot so she was running
around somewhere but didn't see her.

A little progress is being made on the road they are making.
One end


to the other end.


There are a bunch of pipes and drains off to one side
which have to be put in yet.

Over at the library plants have been put in the big pots in front.


😊    🥾    ☀️

I was at the library this morning to meet the others for some stitching.
5 of us there today.
The new librarian that is taking Emily's place 
has been hired at the library and she started today.
Her name is Riley and seems very nice.

Well today I become a year older.
It's my birthday 
75 years old.

David and Liz came by this afternoon.
They gave me a lovely card, a small hand craved wooden vase,
and a 4 piece little chocolate birthday day which we all
had a piece of.

Hope you had a wonderful Saturday 
and thanks for stopping by.

The good thing about getting older
is if you don't want to do something you can say, 
I'm too old to do that!

Out All Day

On my walk this morning it was 47 degrees and sunny.


First walked around both of the cemeteries.


Continued through town, up and down some side streets and 
over to the ball park and walked that loop
a couple of times.
Then it was back to the parking lot at the pond and the end of my walk.

The herd bulls are all gone from the pasture by the Drane house
to mingle with the cows.
I will miss seeing them but they will be back.

No one else out walking.

It was another day of doing Fingerprints at church so we left
right after breakfast.
Just a few of us working today but still we managed to get
10,200 Romans books, put together, stapled, cut, and boxed up
during these 2 work days.

There was a Teen Appreciation Dinner at church this evening
at 6:00 in the activity center.
We couldn't see going back home after Fingerprints just to turn around
and drive to church again (22 miles one way) so we went
to the library in Oakland and spent time there.
They always have a jigsaw puzzle out for anyone to work on
so I did that for a while.
Then read 3 magazines and finally found 3 books I'd like to 
read and checked them out.
The librarian at the desk checking out our books said to me,
Aren't you Karen, the walker around Accident?
I said yes, that would be me.

The Teen dinner at church was very nice.
We played some games,
ate, and laughed a lot.
Some of the teens were given awards for various things.
Pastor gave a touching message 
about having convictions and sticking to them and being
a light in the world of darkness.
So glad we attended to support our teens.
They are our future.

Posting a bit late today because we just got home.
Nice to be here and finally sit in our chairs and relax.
That's where I'm going now.

Will visit all your blogs tomorrow.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂
