Back To The Hall

/ Paul / Leave a comment

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! I hope you took some time to think about his contributions to our country and our world.

I got back to walking in the hall to get my exercise all at once instead of spreading it out throughout the day. I walked 2.16 miles in about 40 minutes. And of course since there is nothing to look at in the hall, I have a hall picture to share.

For dinner my wonderful husband baked a chicken! It was delicious.

By the end of the day I had walked 4.43 miles and got 10,180 steps.

Time To Kill Christmas

/ Paul / Leave a comment

Today was the day we took down all the Christmas decorations and Christmas trees. We had two. My husband really likes Christmas and decorating the house. When it’s finally time to take down the decorations he thinks it’s like we are killing Christmas. I remind him it will come again next year.

I didn’t go on any walks today because we spent the entire day working on the house. By the end of the day I ended up walking a total of 4.23 miles. I think that was enough exercise for me. I was dead tired by the end of today.

Our tree would not have lasted any longer. As I took the ornaments off the tree needles fell everywhere. By the time I had all the ornaments and lights off the tree, all the needles were on the floor. This is what it looked like. It had been up for almost 6 weeks so it served it’s purpose.

New Year’s Eve Dinner

Each year on New Year’s Eve we have a dinner party. We invite lots of friends over and those who don’t already have plans join us for a fun meal and watching the ball drop at midnight. I’ve already set the table and my husband has been cooking all day. This post will be updated later with more pictures from the evening. I haven’t mentioned walking or exercise in the last few posts but know that I’m still exercising and getting my 30 minutes each day. The new year will begin and I’ll continue my exercise.

Here’s the table set for the evening.

We had a wonderful dinner! We were so glad we could celebrate with many of our friends.

Some didn’t make it all the way to midnight but those that stayed rang in the new year with bubbles! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

I got up this morning and took a picture of the sunrise. It was cold but the sun was out. It was a really nice day. I didn’t go for a walk though. I figured I could take a few days off. It was another day of watching Christmas movies and laying on the couch. I did talk with my husband on the phone. He told me about his time with his family. He was having a good time. He told me how to make the hot chocolate that he makes for me. I was able to duplicate the process and make myself a cup!

Christmas Eve

I did not go on a walk today but my overall miles for the day was 3.92. That was just walking around doing the things I was doing. Since it was Christmas Eve today, I decided to have pizza and watch Christmas movies. I watched Christmas In Connecticut among others. It was a nice relaxing day.
