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

Fish and Chips

 Started walking by going down the road I just drove up.


Then turned around and walked to town.


Continued walking through town and up and down side streets.
Then down the main road through town


and over to the ball park and walked around there a couple of times.
As I walked passed the chickens they all ran over to see me.
I stopped for a minute and talked to them.
I wonder do chickens remember who you are or do they just think
you're bringing food?

It was very quiet around town this early Friday morning.
Didn't see anyone else out.

It was 67 degrees.
It drizzled on me when I first started walking at 6:15 but it soon stopped.
Just cloudy for the rest of my walk and the drizzle started
again just as I got back to the Jeep.

Got some things done around the house.
Then baked an Apple Fruit Crisp.

This afternoon I read and knitted until David and Liz
came by and we went up the road
for some fish and chips.
We RARELY go out to eat so it was a real treat.
Of course this is way too much food to eat.




Well that's it for today.
Hope you enjoyed your Friday.
Thanks for visiting.

GrannyM - No special occasion for going out for fish and chips.  Just a rare treat.

Red Leaves


 Started my walk going down the road I just drove up.
Went about a half mile, turned around and walked back to town.
Next up was both of the cemeteries.
Rebecca was walking there too.
Continued walking over to the ball park and around there.
Back around town and to the parking lot and my Jeep.
Anna and Mark were just getting to the pond as I was
getting in the Jeep.
Anna ran over to say hi. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The temperature was 62 degrees with sun and clouds.
No wind to speak of.

We went to the Walmart for food shopping right after breakfast.
We didn't need much so we went to the one in Oakland.
Had to stop at Shop and Save on the way home to get milk because
Walmart didn't have any.  

Came home put things away and then headed out again for my
book club meeting.
Since it was such a pretty day we met outside again in the park.
There were only 6 of us there and no one really liked the book
all that much.
We ended up talking about everything else except the book!
The book was
 The Museum of Lost Quilts by Jennifer Chiaverini.

I stopped by the library before coming home to pick up a book
I had on reserve and Ken's 2 DVD's.

Started reading a Ken Follett book, A Place Called Freedom.
Liked it right away.

Having our homemade pizza today instead of Friday because
tomorrow we are going out for fish and chips with David and Liz!!

Hope you had a wonderful Thursday.
Thanks for visiting.
