Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Fixing the cutter


Light enough at 7:10 to leave the house on my morning walk.
It was 35 degrees, cloudy, and calm.
Sunrise 7:30

Walked to town.



Passed up the first cemetery and just walked around
the one up the hill.
Walked down to see the horses and cows.
Couldn't get very close to the cows to take a picture 
because of all the mud.
I did say good morning to them though.

Then walked up the main road in town and around the block
before heading back home again.


Felt the first few drops of rain in town but it didn't start raining harder
till I was just about home so just got a little damp.

Found 2 pennies
Walked 6 miles

☁️     🌧     ⛅️

Friday when we were at church doing Fingerprints at the end of the
day the cutter broke down.  
We had all completed just under 8 thousand Romans books by that time.
 The books assembled but not cut we put in boxes 
till Ken could get the machine working again.
Today we went back to fix the cutter.
Thought it would take less than two hours to get it fixed,
and the rest of the books cut and packed up.
Well, we had a bit of trouble fixing it and had to make a couple
of trips to the hardware store in town for parts and tools.
But finally after lots of praying Ken got it working again
and we finished cutting the books and packed them up.
Less than two hours turned into more than five.
BUT at least the machine is working again all ready for next month.
Total Romans books for this month
8841.

Decided not to use the yarn I got at Ollie's
for a baby blanket.  It wasn't real soft like the so soft
Carron yarn that I usually use.
Will still use it for Tricia's scarf though.

Looking forward to sitting in my comfortable chair reading
and then watching a DVD and making some squares.

That's it for today.
A happy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Karen, its Cousin Cathy in CA. Just saw Patty and John and family for my early birthday celebration. Patty gave me the info to your blog. I think you had sent it a few years ago, but I had missed placed it. Glad things are going better for you. That's awesome that you love your family but put God first. Mike and I have talked about it many times. We are all gifts from God to each other. Our own life is a gift from God. Happy New Year!!

I'm amazed that you were able to leave shortly after 7. At that time here it's still as dark as night.
Glad you managed to fix that cutter.

It makes me nervous that you walk so close to the road. Be careful!

I guess it was better that the cutter broke down near the end of the day and not the beginning. And yes, very blessed that Ken can fix it.
