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

Yellow

More snow and ice today so an inside walk for me again.

Walked down to the mail box on our icy driveway.
Had to wear my ice grippers.
Glad I went to get the mail though because 2
Netflix DVD's were there.
Last of the Summer Wine
NYPD Blue

Sometime before next winter we are going to get our driveway
paved.  Will be much easier keeping the snow and ice
off of it.  Hard to use the snow blower on gravel.

I knitted two more of the blue coasters so now have a set of 6.
Here is the latest weave-it baby blanket I've made.
I'm reading the next Louise Penny book in the Gamache series,
The Long Way Home
and it is another good one.

Since it seems winter will be with us for a while yet
so we started another jigsaw puzzle.
A thousand piece one of an antique shop.

A happy day to you.

I have returned

Hi one and all, my blog break has come to an end.
Last Thursday morning we headed down to Asheville, NC
to visit our son David.
We spent three days down there and had a great time 
even though it rained all three days.
We took a tour of the Biltmore Estate and wow what a house that is!!!
There was even a bowling alley in the house.
David loves it down in Asheville and showed us all around.  
We walked around town and visited lots of shops.
Found a couple of birds to add to my collection.
 
Forgot the name of the restaurant that David took us to for lunch
but the food was delicious.
For dessert we got pudding in a small mason jar and you get to keep the jar.
David is moving into an apartment (today in fact) and he took us there to 
show it to us.  
The blue one on the top floor is his.
In this apartment complex the apartments are on top and below them are
all kinds of stores and shops.
AND the best thing is that he will have no commute to work.
He works for AVL Technologies which is right next to his apartment.
His walk is ONE TENTH of a mile!!!

It was sad to say good-bye when it was time to go but he will be coming to visit us
sometime during the summer.

This is the window in the hall of our hotel.
In the evening I got some steps in walking the length of the hallway!!
 On the way home we went by way of Roanoke, VA so we could stop at
the Black Dog Salvage antique store.
We have watched their show on television and thought it would be fun
to stop in and see the shop.
As you can see in the picture by this time the sun had finally decided to shine.
An inside look.
Didn't buy anything because things were a bit pricey.
Really liked this sign but not enough to spend $160 for it.
We were home on Monday.
While riding in the car I knitted a set of coasters.
The sun came home with us and I enjoyed 3 beautiful sunny
mornings for my walk!!
Over night it snowed again and it was too deep to walk in my
snow sneakers so it was back to the basement this morning.

Wednesday the Super Seniors met at UNO'S for lunch.
Thursday was Fingerprint day at church and we worked from
9:00 - 8:00.
Did take a break and left to go get something to eat for supper.
5,944 Roman's books were assembled, cut and boxed up.

Toady we've been home most of the day, 
but did go to town to get a few errands done.

Nice to be back to blogging.
It may take me a few days to get caught up with you all but
I'll be visiting.

A happy day to you.
happyone  ❤️
