Wild Lake

We did go to Red Lobster last night.  Ken didn't have a suggestion so mine held up.  We both had the all you can eat shrimp.  You could choose from a few different kinds to start with and then could get as much as you wanted of those two.  I had grilled shrimp on a skewer and shrimp scampi.  I only had the one serving of each though and didn't get any more.  It was as good as i thought it would be!!

Started my walk a little later than usual at 7:30.  I usually wake up at 6:00 but with it being so dark in the morning i didn't wake up.  My body is already getting ready for the time change in a few weeks.
It was a cool 56 degrees and for a pleasant surprise it was sunny.  I walked a brand new route and discovered another lake.  I wanted to just walk and not have to turn around and walk back home so i told Ken i was off to explore and asked him if he would pick me up when i called. 
I've never walked this way because i have to cross a pretty busy street going this way but i thought i would give it a try because it was a weekend morning.

Here's my morning walk in pictures with few words.

Crossed the busy road and headed down this way.

The mall is up ahead.

Turned onto this path.

Which came came out here by a falls

at the end of Wild Lake.

A bench to sit on and look out over the lake.

Wouldn't it be nice to live here.

This path close to the water took me along a row of townhouses.

The footbridge leads me back to the beginning of the lake path.

A walk down the road

and along some more paths like this one

and i come out by a school.

I've walked a little over 6 miles by now

and call Ken and he comes to pick me up.

Here he comes now in our yellow FJ.

It was nice to walk in a completely different place for a change.  I didn't see much in the way of wildlife and not many people for such a pretty sunny morning.  A few people out walking dogs.
I hope you enjoyed the photos and taking a walk with me this morning.

When we got back home i made French toast for breakfast.  Then we headed over to the old house.  We have some things to sell and we were meeting a man there who was interested in buying our old gas pump.  He showed up on time, liked the pump and thought the price was a great bargain.  We helped him load it into the back of his truck, he gave us the money and off he went.

The gas pump needs a little bit of work.  We have had it for years.  Ken's dad bought it years ago and we had it sitting out by our garage.  It has been a great conversation piece for years and people were always asking if we wanted to sell it.

Here it is just before it got hauled away.

Then it was off to do a few errands.  Stopped at Pot Belly and had a sandwich for lunch.

One of our stops was at Michaels so i could pick out some new yarn for my next knitting project.  I got these six different colors of yarn called Fun Fur.

Ken works with 6 women in his office and i'm going to knit them all a scarf for Christmas.  A different color for each of them.  The scarves are not very long  with each one only using one ball of yarn.  They are knitted on pretty big needles so they knit up fast.  Ken picked out the colors he thought each one would like.   I'll post pictures of the finished scarves.

Now off i go to start one.

A happy Saturday to you.

Happyone : )

Nobody trips over mountains.

It is the small pebble that cause you to stumble.

Pass all the pebbles in your path

and you will find you have

crossed the mountain.
