A most enjoyable day

The weather turned a bit chilly this morning, it was 36 degrees, VERY windy and cloudy.  There were very light snow flurries for a time when I walked but if you weren't outside you would never even know it happened. 

I walked up and down the streets in town and a little bit out of town down the main road.  I'm heading back into town here in the picture.

It was very quiet for a Saturday.  The only people I saw out were two fishermen at the little town pond and a few cars. 

I didn't quite make my 6 miles today and walked 5.7.

The reason I didn't walk all 6 miles is because I wanted to be back home no later than 8:00.   And the reason for that is because we had a day out planned and we wanted to leave by 8:30.  Didn't quite make that time though and left at 8:45.
There is a train hobby shop down in Hagerstown (100 miles from home) and they were having a promotion with a local club that Ken wanted to go to. 

Ken bought this Susquehanna locomotive that was on sale. 

He got a few other goodies too, mostly building materials.  I picked out a few things for him also.  I picked out some people and a little kit for him to make a field of sunflowers.  He is going to put a farm somewhere on his layout and I put some black cows in his shopping basket too.  I thought of cow #29 and Charlie. : )

 One of the men from the club had a train layout open house so we went to see his layout.  He has huge basement and the whole thing was trains.  His is mostly track and only has some of it with scenery on it but it was impressive to see.

We also stopped at an antique mall and I got really lucky and found quite a few more blue plates to hang up over top of the kitchen cabinets.  I got all of these for $35.  Prices ranged from $1 to $10.

Our last stop before heading back home was dinner at The Long Horn Steak House.  We don't have one near us so this was a real treat.

When we got home I checked the mail and to top off the day was a Tea Time magazine.

I really enjoyed my day.
Hope your day was a happy one too.

Vee - I walk the very first thing in the morning too before I do anything.

I put on my walking clothes and out the door I go.
