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

A mouse


 This morning it was 34 degrees, cloudy, and breezy for walking.

Walked all over town, the cemeteries, ball park and new road loop.


Didn't see anyone else out walking and it was very quiet around town,
Felt more like a Saturday morning than a week day.

Was walking down where KitKat lives when I saw him make 
a leap up in the air from out of the high grass.
When he walked out of the grass he had a mouse.
He walked by looking so proud of himself.
I told him he was a good boy and off he went towards home.

😊    ☁️    🐕

Left for church after breakfast again for another day of Fingerprints.
Not as many people as yesterday but still a good number.
When it was all said and done for the two days work
we assembled, stapled, cut, and boxed up 
8,539 Romans books.
Next month we only have to do about 6,000 to meet our
goal of 100,000.
Pretty sure we will surpass that.

So that's what kept us busy today.
Pizza dough is now rising and very much looking forward to pizza.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Dianna - Yes, puzzle is out sitting on the hutch all set for us to start it as soon as the snow falls.  Feels like snow is in the air. 🌨️ 🙂

Ellen - No, it wasn't cold in the activity center.  I thought it was very comfortable.  A lot of the women are always cold though.

Raining and a Work Day

 A rainy walk for me this morning.
44 degrees but there was no wind.
The raincoat I wear is one like the road workers wear.
I was going to get the pants too but thought it would be a bit much!


Walked around in town and both cemeteries, the new road,
and the ball park.

Rebecca was out again.
Nothing happening today in the early morning rain.

😊    🌧    🥾

Fingerprints work day again.
If it seems like we just did, it is because we usually have
it on the fourth Thursday of the month, but this month it would
have been on Thanksgiving.
So we've been at church all day working.
A pretty good turn out.


I didn't get a count of how many books  we did but we have 
another work day tomorrow and will total it up then.

We called out for fried chicken and coleslaw for supper from
a local grocery store.
mmm good

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful Thursday.

2 mints

 

38 degrees this morning for walking but no wind.
There was a mix of sun and clouds and a beautiful morning for walking.
Sunrise 6:57

Walked around town and then to the industrial park and walked
all around in there.
Passed where David worked but the big garage door was closed
so didn't see him.
I only see him once in a while.
(he works in receiving)
I keep a small candy bowl at home with pink peppermints in it.
David always has a couple every time he comes by.
Today I took a couple, put them in snack bag and put them
on his Bronco in the parking lot.
I can picture him smiling and saying
mom was here.


Then walked back through town to the pond.
Passing the dentist office I saw Katelyn our hygienist just getting
to work and we had a little chat.

Saw a walker some distance away and we waved but I couldn't
tell who it was, I didn't recognize their walk.  


😊    🥾    🌤

Spent a good part of the day finishing up the weekly house cleaning.

Knitted awhile on the shawl I'm making.
The one that starts with 2 stitches and every other row you
add another stitch till there are 185 stitches.
I'm now up to 112 stitches.

That's all for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂❤️
