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

Inside steps

It was 27 degrees this morning and I could have gone walking outside
but decided not to and to get my steps for the day inside.
Just didn't want to take the chance of falling on my wrist again.
It is much better today but if I fell on it again I might break it this time.
I'll be back to walking outside tomorrow.

I had enough days of puttering around the house and today I got
busy working around the house.  
Got lots of cleaning done and every job I got finished I'd take some extra steps
around the house.

Saturday we are going to a Couples Banquet with the couples from church
over at the Wisp Resort in McHenry.   
Nice that it is only about 6 milesor so from home. 
The banquet will be held in the hotel.
We have invited our friends Dianna and Carroll as our guests
and happy to say they said yes.  😊
The tickets for the banquet are these little boxes of hearts.
I ate all the hearts out of ours already.
 Dianna and I are blogging friends and we have become friends in person as well.
 Check out her blog,  Forgiven...

We made homemade pizza for supper this evening.
Toppings of garlic and red peppers.
I'm glad we decided to stay home and have supper
because the pizza was delicious.

That's it for today.

A happy day to you, and a smile from me to you.

and the snow continues...

⛄     ⛄     ⛄
This morning it was 31 degrees and snowing.  A day for my snow sneakers
and ice grippers.  I guess I was getting over confident having my ice
grippers on and thought I couldn't fall with them.
Not so, today I fell even with them on.  Still have to be careful for each step.
 Fell on my wrist and it is a bit sore now.  Just glad I didn't break it.

Walked on the streets behind my house and then up and down all the
streets in town.  Once again trying to avoid the snow plows.  The big plows
do the main road and then there are a bunch of other pick up trucks with plows
attached that do the side streets and parking lots in town.

Didn't see any one else walking.  Buses were out so school was on time today,
though the roads and weather seemed worse today.


That's a crow up there
Walked 6 miles
Found coins for the month of January
2 dimes, 5 pennies
Can't find many coins when the ground is covered in snow.  ⛄

Thank you all for the prayers, cares, and kind words for my mom.

Just puttering around the house today not doing much of anything.
Every time I pass by the window I stop to watch the snow falling for a while.
So peaceful and pretty.

Ken has been painting some little people to go on his train layout.
 
Managed to meet and exceed my challenge steps during the month of
January on Walker Tracker.
The challenge is to walk 15,017 steps each day this year.
I am in 4th place out of 56.
Walked 34,236 over the challenge amount.

A happy day to you and a smile from me to you.
