Storm walking and Gramma's Lessons

Sunrise 6:18

Sunset 8:07

Quite a morning walk I had this morning!  I walked along the sidewalks today, down one road, turned left, walked to the end of that road, turned around and came back home.  I only saw one other person out and she was running.  I took along my umbrella because it looked like rain.  I got about a mile from home and it started to sprinkle, then the rain came a little harder and before I knew it, the rain was coming down in sheets.  Along with the rain came the thunder and lightening.  By this time I was almost to my half way mark so just decided to keep walking.  I did have my umbrella up but the only part of me that stayed dry was the top of my head.  A tree branch broke off and came crashing down just before I got to the place.  Before long the thunder sounded farther away, the rain lessened, then it was just a drizzle and finally as I was getting back home I could see blue sky. 
No animals out and about, at least none that I saw.
Ken called me to make sure I was okay.  He offered to come and rescue me, but knowing me I'm sure he knew I would say No, I just fine. :-)
I walked 6.4 miles.  Actually it was nice walking in the rain, it kept me nice and cool!

Yesterday as I was taking some of my clothes out of the old dresser so I could move it to get ready for my new dresser I came across something that I had tucked away on the bottom of the drawer to keep it safe.  I forgot I had put it there and was so happy to come across it.
It was some pages from a very old book that was my gramma's (dad's mom).  The pages were from her school copy book from 1912!

Here is a picture of my gramma as a little girl.

I took pictures of the pages of the book and have posted some of them here.

This first one says Cooking Lesson.

 Measures

 Layer Cake

 These two pages are lessons 12 and 15 and were obviously vocabulary words.

 I think this is so cool to have this from my gramma.  Just think almost 100 years ago she wrote this.  She was left handed and always had beautiful penmanship.

I think I'm going to have a lazy day today.  Just staying home.  I started another book last night and plan to read that.  Maybe do some knitting too.

Enjoy your day.  Hope you get to do something fun!

Happyone :-)

I still find each day too short for all 

the thoughts I want to think, 

all the walks I want to take, 

all the books I want to read 

and all the friends I want to see.
