I walked on my connect the path route. Was surprised to see school buses and kids going to school. I thought they went back tomorrow. There were quite a few people out along the paths. Walkers, runners, dog walkers and even a few bike riders. I spotted three deer off in the woods. Their white tails caught my eye.
Nice to be out walking and in the sunshine.
I walked 6.3 miles.

Yesterday i took down the tree, put everything away and vacuumed and now everything is back to normal and i'm ready for the new year.Remember those red ball ornaments that Ken painted every year and stopped a few years ago? This year he continued the tradition again. He painted one ball for 2008, 2009, and 2010, The Dark Years. Those years Ken and i went through some tough times which is probably why he didn't paint a ball those years. Anyway they are behind us and this year was a good one!! The 2011 ball he painted Land Barons on it. : )
Home now catching up on my morning things that i didn't get done. Hopefully later i'll find some time to visit blogs and catch up with you all. As you know it doesn't take long to get backed up.
A happy day to you all.
Happyone : )

How nice to start the new year on a clean slate. It is hard for me to go into a used book store and not leave with a boat load of books. Have a good day.
I'm smiling right now so I guess I mean it. Even though he painted that message on the red ball, I am so glad that it was documented and now you're on to Christmas 2012 so before the year is over, they'll all be out again.
Even I, a diehard Epiphany gal, did a bit of tweaking today. Just a titch.
Having you say, that you had 'Dark Years,' makes you more human, my Dear. You do seem to have a tight grip on peaceful happiness, and always seeking for it. So it would seem, that you have always been thus.
Oh I'm sure that "you-being-you", you were still seeking out peaceful happiness, even in tough years. And I am very glad that they are behind you two.
And hope it won't sound --- Oh something not-nice.... For me to voice these views. Perhaps they should have been said, in private email......
Gentle hugs...
