Come Walk With Me

I thought you all might enjoy seeing some of the things I see on my morning walk.  I have been trying to walk every morning now for 2 weeks.  My goal of course is (1) to lose some weight and (2) to lower my blood pressure.  I hope to keep up my walking as long as weather will permit, then I will have to come up with a different workout.  Anyway, this is the route I take.  This picture is at the beginning of the walk.  I walk on what we call the “tractor road” .

One of my walking companions.  Okay so most days, he walks about 1/2 of the way then just lays down and waits for me to get back.  I have to keep reminding myself, he is not the young pup he used to be.  However, it is good to know he is close by.  Well, that’s some of the highlights of my walk.  Enjoy your day and God bless.

Newest Helper

My newest helper.  It is a steam juicer.  I only found out about these this summer.  I think it will be very helpful for making juice.  I also can steam veggies in it.  Our grapes are almost ready so I am excited to try it out.  Hopefully it will be a wise investment.

We had a very busy weekend.  Hubby went to a shooting range with some people from church and the girls and I went to do some shopping.  I’ve been having trouble with my blood pressure being high and I am taking Hibiscus capsules for it.  Our health food store does not carry it so we have to go to another town to get it.  We also had to go to Lowes and purchase new stove eyes.  All the eyes on my stove had stopped working but one.  We got those put on but still had to go back Sunday and get two new receptables.  I think we are in good working order now.  It felt like I was cooking on a new stove this morning, with all the eyes working.

A couple at our church celebrated their 50th anniversary this past week.  The church and her family gave them a surprise party.  Yes we did manage to keep it a secret.  Pretty amazing!  We had lots of good food and fellowship.  We are so blessed to have such good examples for our young people to follow.

The decorations were very nice.  One little boy asked me if the cake was real or was it just to look at.  It was very pretty.  It was real by the way. 

Well, we have lots to do today so I better get busy.  Enjoy your day and God bless.
