Yesterday about 7:45 I went out for a walk around my neighborhood - I have been doing that for a couple of weeks now - It's not just an ole' wives tale.....you really feel better when you get a little exercise!!!!!
Here I am leaving my house - and first thing I have to do is cross the street and I HATE it -there is a big curve just to the left of the street and about the time I get out there some kid comes barreling around...it is not a pretty site....a 50 year ole woman scurrying across the street...no...not at all!!
OK - made it across the street - it's a pretty little neighborhood - older homes - lotz of shade...
Boy, that looks like a really long way........huff....huff......
I found some new settings on my camera - I got the manual out and read it - when all else fails....so I was trying some of them out...this is a really pretty yard - I was going to take some closer ones....the gentleman who owns the house came around the corner and I was in the street taking pictures of his house....I was trying to explain that I thought his yard was pretty and I was taking pictures for my blog.....Uh??? - he points to his ear - so now I am yelling....PRETTY YARD....TAKING PICTURES...BLOG!!!! He wants to talk.........O well, nice man....
Remember, I am trying new settings on my camera - apparently not the right one.....
This setting said something about Sunsets....so I got a little sunset in it.....
very peaceful.......back home -

Thank you so much for the award. You are the sweetest thing. Like the lady who gave you your award, I quess we are Louisiana kin too, LOL. As for having trouble loading my blog, many are saying that, but I have no clue as to what the problem is. As usual, I'm clueless, lol. I also enjoyed taking the little walk with you through your nice neighborhood..........Kity
I enjoyed the walk around your neighborhood, too, "Mr. Roger". Ha!Ha! You did good on the pictures!
Sandra
I can only imagine what the little voices in your head were saying while you were walking! My "walks" always have bikes, dump trucks, and puppy dogs tagging along :-)
Donna Kay, I hope this comment posts!! I know I did it right before but I think I have the Charlie Brown Syndrome. Nothing ever seems to go right for me. (just kidding) You have a great neighborhood to walk in. If I walked in my neighborhood I would get hit by a semi.
Judy
Thank you so much for thinking of me with this award! That's so sweet. And congratulations on receiving it yourself. I love reading your blog...you write as if you were actually having a real life conversation...makes it easy for me to follow along. lol
Enjoyed your walk, too. My husband and I have started walking a bit in the evenings. I should take my camera with me next time so I can show everyone the hill we have to walk up that about halfway up, I'm convinced is really Pike's Peak. lol
Thanks again for the award!
Kari
Thank you for the award! I needed a little 'pick me up' today.
You conversation with your neighbor reminded me of a time when I was trying to explain the blog to an older lady I met at a market. Her response to me was..."you own a block on the wide webs?"
Thanks for the smile :-)
I may be a bit confused...is nominating the same as winning? Or will there be an "official notification" of new "Winner"? I need a white haired man with a big card board check at my front door to know I've won!!! hahaha
Great walk, thanks for letting us tag along. The neighborhood is so pretty
Thank you so very much for the award, I am honored!
Hugs, DebraK

Thanks sweetie and glad to see you are taking pictures again.
are you still here????!!!!!????
Honey, where have I BEEN? Oh yeah, getting ready for school to start. It actually starts Monday so I am glad to be sitting here with a little time on my hands. I really need to shower!
I loved seeing your "walk." Somehow, I have a feeling I am going to be counting it as exercise for today. Shame on me.
Did you retire?
