Five pennies and ice cream

I started off the week and the month of December by walking 6 miles under cloudy skies but with a mild temperature of 48 degrees. I picked up 5 lucky pennies that I found along the way too. A good start to the day. By the time I left for Meals on Wheels the sun was trying to come out and it did make it through the big billowy white and gray clouds some of the time while I was out. All of my eight people were fine and happy today. They all are so thankful to have these meals and a little visit. Some of these people really have a rough time of it and they all greet me with a smile. I feel lucky to know them and to be a small part of their lives. Once home I had the last of the left overs from Thanksgiving for lunch - thank goodness!! In the afternoon it got real dark, rained, hailed and then the sun and clouds came back.

I finished reading Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson.

Did you have an imaginary friend when you were a kid? Jane did - hers was Michael and when she was 9 he told her he had to move on to another child who needed him. But she never forgot him. As with all James Patterson's books there are some twists and turns in this different kind of love story. I thought it was good read and hard to put down. When Ken came home from work we went out and did a few errands and of course stopped at the townhouse and I took these pictures. I love how it looks with the brick up and can't wait to see it with the red shutters. I am so excited to think that we will be living here next month!!

The brick on the side is done.

The little copper roof over the living room windows is up.

Our row

I am looking forward to having some ice cream in a little while. I am having chocolate with a little twist to it. Ken bought some hard shell and we are going to make layers of ice cream and hard shell. As you most of you know by now chocolate chip is my favorite, though I wish I could find chocolate chocolate chip. I have never seen that flavor before and wonder if anyone has come across it? I can't believe that kind of ice cream doesn't exist. Anyway that is where the hard shell comes in - we are going to make our own flavor. I plan on knitting some on Nola's afghan, reading and maybe watching something from Netflix. We can now pick out some movies to watch right on the computer without having to have them mailed to us. Everything isn't available but it's good to have something to watch in between mailings. That's about it for today. So far it's been a good and happy Monday. Hope yours has been a Happy One too.
