Friday

I thought I was going to get the chance to try out those new rubbers this morning because it was supposed the be raining but it was just cloudy when I left.  The temperature was 48 degrees with a bit of a breeze.  It looked and felt like rain though, so I stayed around town again.  I said a little prayer asking God to hold off the rain until I got home.  About 3 miles into my walk  a light rain started and I asked God if He could please hold off the rain for a little while longer and you guessed it, it stopped raining.  : )  The rain continued once I was back home and it's been raining pretty much all day.

I saw a couple of bunnies and heard a woodpecker.
A walker passed through town and a man was fishing at the town pond.

Someone in town decided to try and make the fuel tank in their yard look more than just a big white tank.

I'm liking these warmer walking days.  It no longer takes me 15 minutes to get dressed to go walking.
I walked 6.2 miles

 Have some saw news.  Just found out that my Uncle Bud, died Wednesday.  He was my father's brother and the youngest of the three brothers and now they are all having a grand reunion in heaven.  He was 91 years old and had a long happy life and family and friends who loved him dearly.  He lived in Arizona and I hadn't seen him quite a few years but he was one of my favorite uncles.

I put some pork chops in the slow cooker and cooked them until they were falling apart tender.  Then shredded them up added some BBQ sauce and cooked them a bit longer.  We will be having them for supper on rolls with macaroni salad that I made this morning.

This afternoon I finished reading 44 Cranberry Point and really enjoyed it.  It ended with me wanting to read the next one, but I have a few other books to read first.  I've started my next book, Still Life With Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen which is the next book club selection and have to read by Wednesday.  The book is a large print which I don't need but like.

Hope you're having a bright and happy day even if it is raining where you are.
happyone : )

The moment when you first wake up in the morning

is the most wonderful of the 24 hours.

No matter how weary or dreary you may feel,

you posses the certainty that,

during the day that lies before you,

absolutely anything may happen.
