A busy day

Didn't spend much time at home yesterday.  Started my day with a walk as usual but had to cut it short to 3.6 miles because I had to leave at 8:30 and just didn't have the time for a longer one.  As soon as I got back from walking, I got ready for church and was out the door at 8:30.  I have to leave a little early because I pick up one of the senior ladies and take her to church.  We got to church right at 9:00 just in time for Sunday School.  There is a half hour between Sunday School and the church service and there are coffee and donuts to eat as we all talk and visit with each other.  I usually pass on the donuts but I ate a chocolate one yesterday because I didn't have time for breakfast and didn't want to have a growling stomach during church! : )

Home, lunch, and then Ken and I went to the movies in the afternoon to see One For the Money, based on the Janet Evanovitch's book.  I've read all the books and really liked them and wanted to see the movie.  Of course the book was better as it almost always is but the movie was good and we enjoyed it.

Then back home for a short while and we were off again to eat dinner at Baldwin Station.  I've mentioned the place before which is an old railroad station turned into a very nice restaurant.  We go there once in while for special occasions.  We had reservations for 6:00 and had a delicious meal and enjoyed being there.  What special occasion you may be wondering were we celebrating - Our Anniversary - 40 years!  : )  The actual day is today, the 30th, but we celebrated a day early.

This morning I was back to a regular walk and walked around the lake.  Temperature was 25 degrees, but the sun came up, stayed out and there was no wind.  Very quite around the lake which is usual for a Monday. 

Some cardinals,  a couple of chickadees, some crows fighting over some food, and the usual ducks and geese were about.  

It was great to be outside walking and each day I get to walk is one that I am thankful for.  I am thankful that I am healthy enough to be able to get out and walk each day. 
I walked 6.8 miles.

I'm posting early today for me but I just plan on staying at home the rest of the day.  I have some cleaning to do, I get to try out my new iron and then hopefully I can fit some time in for cross stitching and reading.

I have a new recipe that I will be trying for supper.  If it goes well I'll share it tomorrow.

Have a great day.  Enjoy it, be thankful and smile a lot.

Happyone
