Balance Balls

40 degrees this morning and it was raining again.  I didn't wake up until a few minutes after 7:00 so got a late start.  

Walked to the library to drop off a book down the slot and then walked

around both cemeteries and the ball park loop.

Lisa was out running and we stopped for a brief chat.

My step-brother Chris called while I was walking and we had a nice 

catch up too.

Didn't even take my camera out of my pocket during my walk so no

walk pictures today.

A short walk too (4 miles) because of the late start and it was the first

class with the Balance Ball.  Wanted to get home and eat breakfast

and do a few things before I left for that.

 I walked over to the fitness center at 10:00.
Class started at 10:30 and right on time too.

Sharon one of the women from my book club was there and also Joyce
who I've met walking.
I've met another Kathy too.  I must know a dozen Kathy's.
Kathy was the only one that would let me take her picture.

And then she took one of me too.

It was a fun class and a good workout too which lasted for an hour.
We did various stretches and did some exercises with weights too.
Not once did I roll off my ball onto the floor. 😊
I look forward to the class next week.
Stayed for a little while after and used the step machine.
Took the long way home and walked another mile home.

Home this afternoon doing this and that around the house.

That's been my day so far.

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

Train cars

Ken has been busy downstairs working on his train layout.  

He is in the middle of making some small cars like the two in the picture.

It is very time consuming with so many details to build and with them being so small.

Ken's layout is HO scale.

These here he is working on now.  

When he is done he will have made 24 of them.

Another warm morning at 43 degrees and today it was a rainy one.  Handy to have my umbrella along with me.  There was about 5 minutes when it wasn't raining.

Walked straight through town starting off and around both cemeteries and then down to the ball park loop.

Lisa was running around the cemeteries and over at the ball park loop the man who runs around there 5 times was there.  No Kathy today.

Then a loop around town and lastly up around the roads behind my house.  

Walked 6 miles

Bowling day again this Tuesday.  

Sometimes we eat before we go and sometimes we eat there.

Today we ate lunch at the bowling alley.

There were 7 of us bowling.
No record breaking scores for any one.
My scores for today were 125, 163, and 134 in that order.

Stopped in the Shop and Save on the way home and got in a new supply
of ice cream while it was on sale.

Finished reading The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis.
About the Barbizon Hotel for woman in NY City.  Back in the 1950's
aspiring models and secretaries lived there.
Present times it is an apartment building and a journalist lives there 
and uncovers a secret buried in the past.
I thought it was pretty good.
It's the next book club selection for next months book club meeting.

That's it for today.
A happy day to you and a smile from me to you.
