A Walk, Books, and Tea Cookies.

Sunrise 6:18

Sunset 8:05

Friday has rolled around once again.  It rained last night again but by morning it had stopped so I didn't have to walk in the rain though it was cloudy.  It was good to see the little stream I walk along on the way to the lake full and muddy.  It had been getting pretty low.  Not so many people around the lake today, but I did stop and talk to a walker friend who asked me about my pedometer. I don't know her name, but her dog's name is Bosco.  Bosco and I share the same birthday! :-)  Those little bunnies were out again and I saw a gray bird with long legs standing at the edge of the water.  When I went to get a closer look he flew off.  It was a pretty big bird with a long beak, though much smaller than a heron.  I tried looking it up in my bird book but couldn't find it. 
There is a fisherman who I see almost every morning down by the edge of the lake at the wide end.  I should say I smell him first as he is always smoking a big old cigar!!  I saw him catch a fish today.
I haven't found many lucky pennies lately, but today I found a lucky dime.  
I walked 6.4 miles.

I finished reading another book yesterday.  The Sleeping Tiger by Rosamunde Pilcher which I thought was very good.  Selina has grown up thinking her dad is dead.  She discovers something that leads her to believe he isn't dead after all and goes off to a little Spanish island to find him.  She is a delightful character and the book has a great ending!

Now that I had three books to return to the library I went there this morning and returned them and picked up the two books that were on hold for me.  One of which is the new Janet Evanovitch book, Sizzling Sixteen.

I decided to make some cookies this afternoon.  I always make chocolate chip and wanted to make something different, so I looked in my cookbook and came up with Lemon Tea Cookies.  

 I had to eat one to see how they turned out and they are quite tasty.  Of course not as good as chocolate chippers but nice for a change.  I'll have a few more tonight for my snack.

I watched Last of the Summer Wine (British Comedy) on MPT while I ate my lunch and it was a very sad episode today.  Comp, the scruffy guy of the three died.  I had never seen this episode before and it was really sad. :-( Yes, it made me cry.

Tonight for supper we are going to eat the leftover meatloaf I made for supper earlier in the week.  Today we will have it cold on some nice rolls.  It's very good this way too and I don't have to cook!  We will also have some potato salad along with it.

Now I'm going to go and start that new book.
A Happy Friday to you all.
Happyone :-)

Sometimes, perhaps, we are allowed to get lost 

that we may find the right person to ask directions of.
