Latest house pictures

Nice walking weather this morning.

49 degrees and sunny with a few low hanging clouds around at first

but they were soon gone and it was a beautiful sunny day.

A paving crew around town the last couple of days.

The road up to the cemetery at the top of the hill was crumbly with some 

pretty big ruts in it. Look at it now.

A few other roads in town are being done also.

Walked all over town and around both cemeteries and the ball park loop.

Didn't see any people out walking but did see the usual bunnies

and a few deer.

Walked 6 miles

Found a penny 💰

Left the house at 9:00 to go to church for Blankets for Babies.

Don't have to eat breakfast because one of the woman brings breakfast.

Today Donna brought a variety of bagels and butter and cream cheese.

I had a French toast bagel which I never even heard of before.

It was very good and really did taste like French toast.

I just put butter on mine, but syrup would have gone great on it.

It was Pam's turn for the devotional and she told us her testimony.

There 11 of us there today.

In the afternoon Ken and I went up to the new house to see the latest work.

Driving through town the Rolling Pin Bakery had a new banner blowing

in the wind which said 'Ice Cream.'

Of course we had to stop and check it out.

It was soft serve and pretty good.  

We both got small chocolate cones and sat out front on a bench and ate it.

Then we continued on our way to the new house.

Here are the latest pictures.

 The back  

White door is to the garage and will be painted red.

Detail over the kitchen box window.

The front

Door is to the walk out basement.

Cinder block will eventually have stone on it.

Left the house and stopped by G & W, the lumber yard in town,

and picked out materials and colors for the front porch.

They should be delivered in a couple of days.

Even though I had an ice cream cone this afternoon,
I'm still having my ice cream later while.  😊

A happy day to you.

Driving to Staunton

Just a quick 3.3 mile walk this morning.

52 degrees with sunshine and no wind.  A beautiful morning

Walked down the main street in town and around the cemeteries

twice and one around the ball park loop.

A quick walk because we had to leave the house at 8:00.
Picked up the church trailer with the Roman's books that have

been assembled and dropped them off in a warehouse in 

Staunton, Virginia.  It is a 3 hour drive one way from home.

Picked up the next pallet for us to

assemble which is another 20,000 and brought them back to church.

All set now to have a Fingerprint Ministry day next week.

Near there is a huge antique mall and we spent almost 2 hours

looking around there.  It would take days to look at everything there.

 

Just looked and didn't buy anything.

While Ken did the driving I knitted and finished one dish/wash cloth

and just got started on another. 

Got the trailer back to church at 6:30 which left us a half hour

before the Wednesday night service began.

 

After we got home from church it was nice to sit down

and have a nice bowl of ice cream.

 

That's been my day and now after a little reading it will be

time for bed.

 

Hope your day was a happy one.

A little sad but happy

A cloudy morning when I started walking at 6:30

and 66 degrees with no breeze.

Walked the Farm Loop.

A few cows were in the front pasture at the dairy farm.

Farther along the loop I stopped to take a picture of one of the corn fields.

The corn is about 4 1/2 feet high.

When I got back to town and had 2 more miles to walk I felt the first

drops of rain.  Not long after that it started raining in earnest and

I got pretty wet.  It was a nice rain, with no wind and the kind of rain

that is nice to walk in.  Besides I was getting pretty warm and the rain

felt nice and cool.  After a mile it stopped and I started drying out by the

time I got back home.

Walked 6 miles 

Found a nickel

After breakfast we went to the stone place with the dump trailer

and got a load or redish small stones.

Then we spread it around on the top of the lower driveway and

along the path and some more steps that Ken made out of rocks that leads
up the the upper driveway.

We've had rain showers and sun on and off all day.

After lunch we went to Walmart and on the way home we

stopped at Tractor Supply to look around.

Bought these two pictures of cows and chickens on tin.

Thought they'd look nice in the kitchen at the new house.

A bit sad today because our son David decided to go back to Asheville, NC.  

I am really surprised that he stayed around here as long as he did.

To say he enjoys moving around is a bit of an under statement.

It sure was nice having him near to us for these last 8 months.

I am happy for him though because he is happy,

but I will surely miss him.

Hope your day was a happy one.
