Good Morning Monday, November 24, 2014

Hello World!

So this morning I’m starting late with the blog because I had to get ready for work early.  I’m expecting a guy here momentarily to fix my garage door spring so I can use my garage.  Poor little Rose has been in the driveway since Wednesday and I’d rather have her in the garage.  She is dirty and needs a bath, but I didn’t give her a wash because I figured she’d get dirty sitting out.  Anyway, I thought it was nice of the guy to say he would be here at 6:30 so I can get to work on time.  I hope that works out to be true.

Yesterday we had our Thanksgiving “Pot Luck” at church.  It was really great.  There was ham and turkey and mashed potatoes and lots of desserts and 3 types of stuffing.  I love stuffing – all kinds!  My mom’s recipe was a “corn bread” stuffing.  I always loved it.  I think I have the recipe somewhere around here.  Of course I never make it because I never cook a whole turkey.  Maybe one day I’ll get motivated to do a Thanksgiving Dinner and invite friends over.  Not this year though.  I think I’ll go over to the 24 Hour Club so I can listen to the speaker and feast of their food and see where the office will be moving.  I have a feeling I’ll be spending time there going forward.  Afterall, my work is just around the corner and I should take advantage of going to meetings there.

OK, so now it is 6:30 and my garage door man is not here yet.  I think I may be delayed getting to work.

I took the time to go back to The Greenway yesterday.  Here is my newest picture.

This time when I got to the end of the boardwalk where I could go right to Jungle Larry’s or left to somewhere else, I chose left.  It was a longer walk.  It went to a paved pathway and then later on there was another board walk.  It ended up at the airport with a gate that wouldn’t let you go any further.  So eventually there will be a longer path.  I’m looking forward to that.  Yesterday it took me 53 minutes to so the whole thing.  Once you get going, you have to go to the end or else turn around early.  I chose to go to the end.  Here is my work out:

Next time I do it, I’ll wear my tennis shoes.  My feet were tired because I wore my sandels.  It was a little too long of a walk for that, plus it was dusty and dirty.  So I learned a lesson.   Plus if I wear my tennis shoes, I will probably finish faster.  It’s going to be a great walk when the weather is cooler.  It was a little hot yesterday.  I did see some water birds yesterday so the wildlife will begin taking over soon I would guess.  It’s still a little naked.  But I see some great potential there and it’s going to be a great bike ride, once it is completed.

Paul  just arrived.  I may get to work on time afterall.  He had the wrong address!  Ugh!

So I’m going to sign off now.  I hope you all have a wonderful “short” week this week for those of us who are still working!  You retired ones – just have another great week!

    Just remember…before you attempt to cook, be sure to remove the plastic wrap from the oven racks. 🙂 (This is from your brother, Bill.)

      Who’s cooking? Not me! I haven’t used my oven in my new place since I moved in here in March of 2013. My microwave is making loud sounds though, like it want’s to retire.

    HAHAHA!!! Your brother’s comment (above) is priceless!

    I KNOW another “bikeable” boardwalk will be a favorite place for us old Peeps. I DO fear biking on the streets here..for ANYONE

    REALLY INTERESTING–your “exercise app” SO much information, and tracking, it must be really a MOTIVATING factor in your quest for looong-time health. MY motivating force is the mirror–should look into it more often! I did this morning and it scared me, I said out loud, “Who IS that?”

    ANOTHER thing for which to be GRATEFUL–a garage door opener that works. HAPPY day, Mary, and….
