Quick Note

Ran 3 miles in the neighborhood today and finished a cozy shawl in an easy care acrylic/wool blend to take on the plane to Paris next week...

Pondering Household Chemicals

I dropped off several gallons of household paint at the Hazardous Material Collection Day scheduled several times yearly in Roanoke. The presence of the fire engine, Haz-Mat team and the workers all dressed in protective overalls forced me to consider the number of harmful chemicals I regularly use in my home. I've given it lip service - now it's time to act.....here's some recipes to get me started...oh, I ran 3 miles along the Roanoke River yesterday!

WOW!

what a beautiful day! I ran 3 miles along the Roanoke River Greenway, shopped for garden plants and produce at the market and had a delightful afternoon exploring the camping areas close by.....oh, and it's 82 degrees at 9:45pm !

More....

socks in a shorter summer length - someone asked me how many pairs of socks I needed....just one more pair....

Bookcrossing afghan....

Work commitments prevented me from attending the Bookcrossing convention last week. The afghan was raffled off and the lucky winner will receive it in a week or so....I have a little finishing up left to do!

10,000+ of them...

I've worn a pedometer to walk the last three days and have walked greater than 10,000 steps each day .....American Heart Association recommends this as a heart healthy basic exercise goal. Another run planned tomorrow early in the AM!

Beautiful Day

Dreary morning followed by a sunny warm afternoon .... resting up in preparation for 2 long work days....found Virginia napping in one of the sleeping bags we were packing in our camper.
