2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

 Thank you, Veterans!  Here are some happy things from my day: This morning I spent too much time researching food items on the internet.   Specifically, I was looking for powdered meal replacements that just water can be added to.  I have a couple options in my Amazon cart.  At first glance most of them seem really expensive.  When I broke it down, most of them were less than $3 a serving.  That is not much more than a can of soup. My friend Amy and I went for a nice walk today on a rail trail.  We walked about five miles in an hour and forty-five minutes.  If only I could walk that fast on mountains! 😀 Tunnel under Route 101 Tunnel.  We ended up using our phone's flashlights in the middle, it was so dark. Amy and I had to crouch some to go through. Other side There were three horses, I only got a picture of one. Sunset!  Which means I'm awake too late and should be sleeping to go to work tonight.  ☮ Currently listening ...

Today we had the first snow (flurries) of the season.  Here are some happy things from today: Work sometimes offers up gifts for good performance.   This morning I had an email with gift options to choose from.  Considering the snow flurries this morning and how that and the cold sent me back under the covers, I chose a snow shovel.  Not just any snow shovel, but a Snow Joe Shovelution.  I watched some YouTube videos about it and decided that it is worth a shot.  Hopefully I won't need it often this winter.   There really were flurries, just not enough to see in the picture.  Thankfully, the weather cleared.  With temperatures close to 50 degrees and a bright sunny sky, Amy and I went for a walk.  We chose the same rail trail as last week.  We went about half of a mile more.  There was a tunnel, more ponds, and we found a parking lot that we can use if we want to explore farther down the rail trail.  For Inktober...
