Hi guys! Thanks for stopping by!
Today was Monday; the day of my Christmas shopping expedition! It dawned sunny and bright and I got up, had breakfast and was ready to head out the door at 10 AM. My main reason for today’s trip was to buy Christmas presents for my husband, but also to look for a few things for our children. Whereas I found a couple of things that were on my list, a lot, I did not.
It’s time to hit Amazon and see what I can find there. I also realize that at least for me, shopping out in the stores is mostly disappointing as, at least here, there are a lot of out of stocks, and unless you want to drive an hour and a half south to the next town or even further, you won't find what you want and well-- I don’t want to do that. Plus, if I find what I need online, I don’t have to go pick it up 25 miles away one way, lol! It’s all good. Besides, Christmas isn’t about the gifts.
I got home around 3-ish, so we got ready to go hike. Joan, our other neighbor, was not able to go today, but I’ve gotten a text from her this evening that she will be home all day tomorrow and wants to go.
The sun waning through the trees.....
It had begun to cloud up a little with sun breaks as we headed out. The ongoing forecast for now is essentially rain forever, lol! Due to the lateness of the hour, we knew we would not get the whole trail done, but with did get up to the ‘crossroads’ as I call it, at the top of the Upper Trail. If you make it to this point, you have climbed about 90% of the tougher hills, so you still get the workout. We then headed back down and by the time we got home, it was dark.
Sunset in front of the off grid cabin.....
I fixed a nice healthy kale salad with chicken and nuts and dried cranberries. It was quite good.
Soon it will be time for bed, but first I will have to unearth it as I had been pulling music together for Sunday, and the bed is covered with music, instruments and notebooks. I need a better filing system, lol, but never seem to get it organized!Oh well……..
Thanks for stopping by! Don’t forget to keep on steppin’! Any exercise is good for you, so keep at it. Have a wonderful day wherever you are!
