Walking and a new Secret Sister

Another nice sunny morning for my walk.  It was a cool 33 degrees but with no wind.  I walked no particular route of mine today but just walked all over the place where my feet felt like going.  I walked on sidewalks along the streets and some paths in the woods and on one that lead to a school. As you can see from the picture the grass is green once again.

I walked around the school and took a picture of myself in the glass door as I walked past.

Behind the school in one of the fields people where gathering with their dogs.  They let the dogs all get together for play and exercise on Saturday mornings.
A lot of robins out this morning getting those early worms for breakfast.  A few geese were on the grass by the school too. 
Along the way I saw quite a few others out walking, running and walking dogs.  Even saw a few people riding bikes.  A beautiful morning to be outside.
As I was walking down a street near my house, I had to take a picture of this car.  I can't believe someone parked their car in the middle of the road like that!!  Nice park job!! 

I walked 6.2 miles.

I left the house at 9:30 with the cookies I baked yesterday and went to pick up my friend MaryJo.  We went to church for a ladies get together where we picked our Secret Sisters for the year.  We talked, played a couple of games, had some food to eat and had a fun time.  There was a paper to fill out with some information about ourselves and then we put them all in a box.  Then each of us drew out a paper to see who our Secret Sister would be.  Now throughout the year I get to surprise her with fun things.  I can knit her things, make cards, give her little presents, pray for her and encourage her.  It is really fun to do.  I can't help wonder who picked out my name.  :-)

Here is the table of goodies. 

Last year the woman on the right sitting at the table was my Secret Sister.

A little after 12:00 it was all over and I drove MaryJo back home and then came home myself.  Ken was out for the morning and we met up a little after 1:00 and had some lunch.  Then we drove up to Westminster to browse around an antique shop.  I bought a kitchen utensil for only $3.  The one used to cut butter into the flour.  I have a few of them and plan to hang them somewhere in the kitchen, like I did the cookie cutters.

So here it is in the evening already and the day just seemed to zoom by.  

Now it is time for a little relaxing at home.  A little TV, knitting and reading.

Hope you enjoyed your Saturday.

Don't forget, we turn the clocks ahead tonight.  Looks like I'll be walking in the dark tomorrow morning again. 

A smile from me to you.

Happyone :-)

The most wasted of all days 

is one without laughter.
