John and Petey

I thought it was going to be raining when I got up this morning but it wasn't so I didn't have to walk in the rain.  It was cloudy, damp and felt like rain but it held off until later in the day.  It was a warm morning with a temperature of 39 degrees and very still out.  I started out walking over to the liquor store to see if I could find any coins in the parking lot, but no luck.  So I then walked along my connect the path route.  A couple of trees had fallen down along the path here, and as you can see they have been already been moved off the path.

The crossing guard was in a chatty mood today again so I stopped and talked with her for a bit.  Some days she likes to talk and other days she barely says hello, so some times we talk and some we don't depending on her mood.

I saw John and Petey along one of the paths and today I asked them if I could take their picture for my blog.  They both said, "Sure, go right ahead." which is what I thought they would say. : )  Here they are at 90 years old enjoying their walk together. They always have a smile and a happy word or two to say. They are an inspiration to me and I hope to be out there walking at their age too!!

A couple of other people were out along the paths walking dogs.
No deer around this morning, at least none that I could see.  I heard a woodpecker but couldn't find him. 
Three people stopped at the cross walks to let me cross the street.  Wow, that is some kind of record for one day.  As I mentioned a few times, people don't usually stop.  Maybe they are getting used to seeing me walking around and stop because they feel like they know me.  I've had people come up to me when I'm out NOT walking and say hello to me and say they see me every morning on their way to work.
It works both ways because I see a lot of the same cars driving around in the morning too.
It was good to be out walking and today I walked 6.9 miles.

********************

It's one of those dreary cloudy days and I've been home doing stuff around the house.  I've held off on doing cross stitch till later so I have actually gotten some things done today.
Not sure what's up for later or if I have to cook supper.  Ken and his coworkers might be going out for happy hour after work today.  I've been invited so if they decide to go I'll meet them. 

That's about it for today so far.
Hope where you are it is a sunny day.
Happyone
