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

Driving to town in the snow

 I'm starting to sound like a broken record.
It is snowing today again so another walk inside.
I didn't walk around town but I did drive to town this morning
to the library to meet the ladies for Needlework.
There were 5 of us there this time.
Four knitting and me sewing weave-it squares together.

No walking pictures but here are a few driving pictures.
I did stop the car to take the pictures.

On the way to town.


Leaving for home and driving down the main road in town.


Turned off the main road and heading home.


After lunch we took the puzzle apart and were going to wait a
couple of days before starting another but ended up starting one anyway.
This one is a farm house and barn.

Well my limping along washing machine finally died today.
I washed a white load of clothes and thought all was well until 
I saw the clothes.
Some looked like they had grease stains on them and the clothes
were pretty wet yet.
Hopefully the stains will come out with my new washer that
we will have to go buy on Monday.
Not looking forward to that!!

Reading another Anne Perry book.
This one is one of her Christmas books
A Christmas Homecoming.
The books aren't so much about Christmas but a murder during the holiday.
I've never read an Anne Perry book that I didn't like.

Tonights supper was left overs from yesterday.
It was just as good today as yesterday.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.
Happy Saturday and thanks for stopping by for a visit.

FG - Ken's train layout is not a particular place and he does make things as he goes along.  But it is set in the late 1950's in northern NJ where we are from originally.
The buildings are scratch built which means he makes them and they are not from kits. 
Bill - My dad used Old Spice too and I thought of him when doing the puzzle.🙂

Oh dear, a shame your washing machine is no longer working.
I hope you have a successful shop on Monday to get a new one.

Your snowy pictures are nice, and not easy to drive in snowy conditions.

All the best Jan

They did a good job of clearing the snow off the main road. I don't miss driving in the snow.

I hope you can soon get back to walking outside. That snow just keeps falling.
Sorry about your washer!
My Dad used Old Spice too.

I'm sorry about the stained laundry. I hope it all comes out. Also hope you find a good washer that you'll like. The only person that I know who really likes her machine is my husband's niece. She has a Maytag.

Hi Karen. Having an appliance go out is NEVER fun at all. Our washing machine is one of the very last Kenmores made under that brand name, and it has been going for nine years. I hope your new washing machine lasts a long time. We got some snow today but the accumulation was less than an inch. You really have a lot! I think my mom usually bought my dad aftershave from Avon, as I recall, but my husband used Old Spice when we were first married. See you again soon!

Oh my, the last photo of the road leading home looks very icy and slick! I hope you have good luck washing machine shopping!!
