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

ABC Friday

At 9 degrees this morning it was just a little bit too cold for me to go walking.
Slippery in town also.
Got part of my steps inside with loops around the basement.

Ken had some work to do at church today and I went along to help.
I did what I could to help and then let him work and I went in the activity center and walked laps around there.
Once around the perimeter is 175 steps.  
I got in 5,000 steps there. ๐Ÿฅพ


We were back home at lunchtime.

I read ๐Ÿ“š and knitted ๐Ÿงถ this afternoon and now it's time to get the pizza ๐Ÿ•made and in the oven.

MY ABC'S

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

I had a bit of trouble coming up with a Q word for this week.
The best I could come up with is Q is for QUARTZ. I know, pretty lame.

My kitchen counter tops are Quartz and I am very happy with them.
At first I wanted Corian because that's what I had in the last 3 houses I've lived.

Picking out counters for this house I liked the Quartz colors better so went with that.
Well now that I have the Quarts I like it a lot.
Easy to clean and love them for rolling out dough.


That's been my Friday so far and it's been another good day.
Hope you had a good one too.
Thanks for coming by.

Yes, it is too cold to walk outside here. Your kitchen is beautiful!!!!!!! Love it! Enjoy your pizza night. Do you make the same kind each week, or not? I love that idea. May totally borrow it, my friend.

Nice looking kitchen. Glad you decided to walk inside. I don't care for ice and walking on it makes me nervouse. Enjoy your weekend.

My first thought when I saw that top picture was "that would be a good room to walk laps in".
Your countertops are beautiful. Love your kitchen. It's so neat and clean.
