Weekly Musings of the 10th

Good Morning my friends and family.  Here we are through another week and a pretty cold one at that.  

I finally figured out the solution to my walking in the cold months when you can't be sure if there isn't ice on the sidewalks or streets.  The parking lot, sidewalk in front of the two apartment buildings makes a really good loop to walk, 6 times around is a mile but I don't count times around, I just set my timer for 30 minutes and keep walking while I say my rosary and listen to a book until it goes off, then I am inside quick as a bunny.  They keep the lot pretty clear of any ice and the sun shining on the asphalt warms up each day and keeps it from forming so I can walk with confidence that I will not be stepping on any surprise ice.  I can do this walk until the warmer weather comes and I can get out walking the neighbourhoods.  I figure I will keep the stairs in my back pocket for those freezing rain kind of days and the loop for cold but clear days. 

 I still get to watch the sun come up as I loop around.  Cloudy but pretty pink glow this morning.  

One thing I noticed on my walk was this pole.  It didn't have this dent yesterday morning but it does today and it is leaning.

Wonder who hit it and what their car looks like after that.  Bumpers not being what they were in the past.  

DD still has cut hours since Christmas but all the store employees have been cut.  I get a little miffed at a company that made billions through the Christmas season can't even keep their employees at their regular hours.  Bet they didn't cut the executives wages after Christmas.  

I drop her off and do my weekly shopping at that point.  

As you saw from the blog yesterday, hubby has started writing once more which I just love.  I love hearing stories of his growing up.  He had such a huge quirky family and since mine was so small it is like peeking into a different world.  As well, his family being French Canadian and mine being English Canadian.  There is a huge difference beside language and just so much fun to read when hubby gets writing.  I do hope there is a lot more to come. 

Hubby had his eye check up last Thursday and this Thursday was mine.  He got new glasses which came in on my day so we went together.  Him to pick up his glasses and drive us home since my eyes would be wonky.  I don't need new glasses this time around which is great although maybe next year I might just get a new pair anyway.  We shall see.  

So a pretty quiet week with just daily walks and puttering at home but of course I saw a great poster - thinking of printing this one up and putting it on the fridge. 

 Have a great weekend!
