Happy on a rainy day.

 Sunrise 7:39

Sunset 6:03

A dark wet morning as I walked around the lake.  A day for rain pants and the golf umbrella!  I wore my old shoes because I didn't want to get my new ones wet already. I only saw one other person out walking around the lake and that was when I was three quarters of the way around it.  There were four cars in the parking lot so I know there were a few others there! The geese didn't seem to mind the rain, they were all just sitting on the lake in the rain.  I saw a few rabbits along the path but that was it for the wildlife again.  The weather, though not warm, wasn't cold either.  It was actually a very nice walk in the rain and I walked 6.8 miles.

Giving Thanks Day Number 4

I am thankful for rainy days which are good for,

Walking in the rain,

Staying warm and cozy inside,

Cleaning,
Reading,
Knitting,

 Baking bread,

or some tasty dessert.

It's nice to have a rainy day every so often to enjoy.

Our dinner at Outback was very nice last night and the cheesecake was just as good as we knew it would be.  Ken took a piece to work today for breakfast!!  

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Ken. :-)

Ken got a mystery birthday card mailed to the old house.  I appears he has a secret admirer which I'm not so sure I like!  The address on the card to him was typed in block letters and then pasted on the envelope.  No return address.  The card was to someone very special! No signature, just a blank card.  It could be flattering or scary.

A day at home for me on this rainy day and I did all those things on my thankful list today. :-)
I made dill bread in the bread machine and used the apples from yesterday to make a recipe called Apple Betty out of my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook.

 I haven't made the recipe for years, but I must have liked it because I put four stars next to it. 

Here are a bit more than four cups of apples cut up and in a pie plate.

 Cutting butter into the dry ingredients.

 Topping over the apples and ready for the oven.

 Here is a serving of Apple Betty warm out of the oven, in a dish topped with a dollop of RediWhip just before I ate it. :-) I have added another star next to the four already next to the recipe in my cookbook!! Not a very healthy lunch but oh so good.  It does have apples so maybe it wasn't so bad after all. :-)

It's still raining out and now I am going get a little more reading done.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thursday, rain or shine.

Happyone :-)

I find that a great part of the information I have
was acquired by looking up something and finding
something else on the way.
