Good afternoon. I tried to start the thread earlier today but got interrupted and had to go out. DH and I actually had a whole day without any appts. so we went for a ride in the country (there is less and less country here because they keep cutting down the forest and building communities). I wouldn’t mind so much if they were also building housing for low income families but most of the houses being built are way out of our price range and we are not low income. We did go to a wonderful ice cream store that is near the dairy and makes it own ice cream and sells its milk and cream. Thursday we also have a free day so we plan on going for a 2 hour ride a a wonderful Amish market.
Monday possibilities:
—practice piano🧚‍♂️
—trip with DH🧚‍♂️
—call ins. about DH’s operation last year🧚‍♂️
—fold laundry🧚‍♂️
—catch up Bible study homework🧚‍♂️

TGIFriday! Cathy, I hope you enjoyed your Amish market trip. I remember I loved the markets when I used to visit a friend in W Pennsylvania, lots of Amish folk there as well.
Well, I'm finally getting on here to post....not my best week for staying in touch, I guess. Have had a pretty good week otherwise: our cello choir director was away so we had a substitute, a very good instructor. I always learn something new from different instructors, so, at least in little bites, change is good! We also had a young man observe the class to see if he thinks it would be a good fit for him to join in the Fall. The weather has been mostly good, so I've been getting out for walks most days also joined a Silver Sneakers walking challenge, so I'm trying to work in at least one short walking-oriented zoom class every day. It's going to be tough find time today: had a very helpful chiropractic appt this a.m., did a grocery run, and will check on Old House and then have a cello lesson this afternoon. Whew!
Friday possibilities:
--birds âś…
--chiropractor âś…
--groceriesâś…
--lessonâś…
--decluttering
--check on Old Houseâś…
--wind down earlier❌ dinner was late because of the bike ride, tough to wind down
Be well!
Carol

Happy Friday!! Well it’s 5:18 and I’m just checking in. We had a great time yesterday. The drive was beautiful and even though it is a small Amish community, I saw for the first time a horse and buggy being drive by a school aged kid with school aged kids in the buggy. First time I’ve ever seen that in person. The store was nice and we met the owner. It was an older Amish woman but I’m not sure if it’s a family owned store or not. Everyone is very nice but not super talkative. We splurged on too many treats and I paid for it n the scale today.
Friday possibilities:
—organize all the non-Christmas holiday decorations (almost done)
—send info to dr.🧚‍♂️
—get gift for my friend’s daughter🧚‍♂️
—order things on Amazon
—feed starter🧚‍♂️
—small grocery run🧚‍♂️

The weather was soooo nice yesterday, my sweetie surprised me by getting the bikes ready to ride...but I didn't get out of my lesson until late afternoon, and we didn't get on the trail until almost 6 pm. Nice ride mostly along the canal, lots of flower blossoms along the way, lots of birds. The sky looked threatening to the west, but we managed to go 11 miles with only a brief sprinkle of rain, really only a couple of minutes, on the ride back. Nice! But the legs feel it today, LOL!
Weekend possibilities:
--birds âś…
--WW zoom
--walking zoom âś…
--bankâś…
--brief Walmart runâś… oh my goodness, was it crowded!
--practice
--declutter
--church
--movie (at home) to celebrate Star Wars day ("May the fourth be with you")
Be well!
Carol
