A lunch date

This morning the temperature was in the 50's and there wasn't a breeze to be felt.  There was a bit of fog across the field here as you can see from the picture.  Notice the morning moon too. I walked on one of my connect the path routes.  Only saw two other people out and they were both walking their dogs.  Walking down one of the paths I came across three deer.  Two on one side of the path and one on the other.  I walked very slowly right between them.  There must have only been about 12 feet between all of us.  They just stood there as I went past.  It was really cool.  Didn't even try for the camera because I'm sure they would have run away if I went for it.  I saw four more deer along my walk.
I walked 6.2 miles.

Giving Thanks Day Number 23

I am thankful for all of my friends.

Friends are great.

They help you through hard times.

They are happy for you when times are good.

They are great to spend time with

doing fun things.

There is lots of talking, laughter, hugs, and love

and sometimes tears

between friends.

Sometimes you don't even meet your friends in person.

But know them only through blogs.

I have a very special friend Bernice,

who I have known all my life. 

Since I am only child she is the sister I never had.

Rushed around this morning trying to get my morning routine and a few other things done before leaving for my Tuesday morning knitting group.  Didn't quite get things done so finished up when I got home later. 
Left the knitting group right at 12:00 today because I met Ken for lunch at Ma's Kettle, a cute little homey place in Savage.  They have great BBQ sandwiches there.  I had a pulled chicken one, Ken had the beef one and we shared some home made potato chips. 
We don't meet often for lunch so it is special when we do.

Ken went back to work and I made a stop at the library.  Dropped off The Cat Who Said Cheese by Lilian Jackson Braun and picked up the next one in the cat series. 
I also finished reading A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins which I borrowed from a knitting group friend.  (Returned it to her today.)  This book was excellent!!  It's a true story about a young man in his early 20's back in the 70's who has become disillusioned with America.  He decides to walk across America to see the country and this book is the first part of his walk.  He starts out in Alfred, NY and ends in New Orleans.  His experiences and the many different people he meets along the way make for a super book.  I look forward to reading the next book which is The Walk West.  I looked it up in the library but they don't have it. 

Kathy, my sister in law gave us a bamboo plant when we first moved here almost two years ago.  It has done very well and today I transplanted it to a bigger pot.  It  did well being in small stones and water so I am keeping it in that.

In the old flower pot.

 The new flower pot.

So that's what I've been up to today so far.  Haven't read any blogs yet today so that's next on my agenda.  Then if I have time, I'll knit till supper time.

 

A smile from me to you.

Happyone :-)

Got no check books, got no banks.

Still I'd like to express my thanks -

I got the sun in the morning and moon at night.
