Cookies

A cloudy morning with lots of wind and a temperature of 48 degrees.  The sun was fighting its way through the clouds by the time I got back home.  I had a very pleasant walk around the lake.  Saw Jeannie, a walker friend who I haven't seen in months and stopped to chat.  She has been walking the mall and decided to come back to the lake now that it's light and warmer in the morning.  Just an average amount of people out this morning.  I didn't see a lot of wildlife - don't know where all the animals were hiding today.  I did spot a few gray catbirds and a mallard duck was walking along the path.

Here's the latest pier picture.  Workers were laying down this layer of I'm not sure what and there was a couple of trucks loaded with sod which they will put on top of this stuff.

Today I walked my usual 6.4 miles.

I enjoyed my afternoon out on the deck yesterday.  I made some weave-it squares like I planned to do.  I also read some more of the book One Thousand Gifts.  I've read a about a quarter of it and have decided not to read the rest.  I know everyone loves this book but I just wasn't getting anything out of it.  It's about learning to be thankful for all the little things in life even through the bad times which leads to a happier life.  I already understand what she means and have learned this lesson a long time ago. : )
I sat out on the deck until I heard Ken's car coming up the street.  I snapped this picture of him in his car from the deck.

Here he is again coming around the back to the garage.

Today I (and others) baked chocolate chip cookies for the Easter Egg Hunt at church on Saturday.  I didn't eat any cookies, but I probably ate enough cookie dough to have eaten at lease one!! 

Then I put two cookies each into 30 little plastic snack bags.  They will be given out to the kids who come to the egg hunt.

Lots of people praying for nice weather on Saturday - at least for no rain. : )

I'd better go and take my clothes off the line.  They have been getting quite a whipping around the line with all the wind out there today.  I'm hoping I didn't lose any clothes to the wind.  Who knows someone may end up with an unmentionable plastered to one of their windows by the wind.

Enjoy your day and if you see someone with a smile, give them one of yours.

Happyone : )

The great gift of Easter is hope -

Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God,

in His ultimate triumph,

and in His goodness and love,

which nothing can shake.
