A lovely day

Oh what a lovely day I've had today ... AND got a lot (for me) accomplished.

It wasn't quite as hot as it can be (for which I am thankful) and we took a drive out to Cedar Falls, and hubby and I walked (me with my trusty walker for support, and a place to sit every 10-15 feet or so) and sat at the end where the river turns, with a view all the way up to the old dam and the falls. It's one of my "happy" places, so peaceful, a place I love to go to ... especially when my blood pressure is high, as it calms me and helps lower it!

Today, I met 2 new people, who I hope will become friends.

The first was an older lady named Claudette, and she has been a teacher all her life, originally from Massachusetts but loving it in South Carolina. We were just walking past each other and started chatting ... and did so for about 20 minutes.

The second was the mother in a family group, that we sat near on the rocky slope. We'd been chatting to her hubby while she and the rest of the family were plying in the water. He mentioned his brother was sat on the bench above us, and suffered from diabetes, so we ended up chatting about diabetes and how my hubby has it too. I said I had my email address on the back of an AVON brochure and that I could forward him a pdf if he wanted to email me ... that I wasn't trying to sell him anything, and he said his wife L-O-V-E-S AVON ... so I laughed and said I loved that and I'd be happy to take his money, LOL. 

When his wife came back, she and I got chatting about my walker, as it turns out she is a home health aide and wanted one similar for  person she cares for.

It was just lovely, and I probably walked about 200 yards altogether, which is quite a trek for me, but definitely gave me some much needed exercise.

After we came home, I started packing up my Mrs Albee statuettes in my AVON room. Boxing them up and putting the boxes into a Rubbermaid container for additional safety.

Yes, I know it seems like I'm jumping the gun, but even though it's "in the future", hubby and I are definitely planning on moving, and - in the meantime - this helps declutter some more. 

Hubby (in going to find me more of the boxes for them) found a jewelry box that had been "lost", still boxed and in plain view! I'd looked for it for a couple of years, and my brian just didn't register that box! LOL.

He and I just indulged in one of the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cherry Cheesecake tubs, well worth 170 calories and 10gms of fat! It was very tasty!

Well, hope you all have a great week! Now just going to relax and watch some telly.
