Quiet Day At the Bay

As I promised myself yesterday, I got out of the apartment for a couple hours. First, I looked at possible events taking place, and yes, found an exciting one, but had to rethink it because of my mobility problems. I can't stand for an excessive amount of time, or do a lot of walking - yet. I will get that taken care of with the weight I'm going to lose. So next year I'll go to the Brown County Fair going on until tomorrow. However, I did go to my favorite park, as seen in one of the many pictures I took while I was there. It was a perfect day to watch whatever activity was going on on the bay. Sailboats were out, and a fishing boat too. I even got a picture of a parasailer, I think that's what they're called. If not please tell me so I can correct it. The sun is out and the breezes made it a beautiful place to sit. The park was full, as it happened. There were plenty of parking spaces when I got there, but several other people had the same idea I did. Including a woman with her dog, which I tried to get a picture of, but he wasn't having any of it. I got some reading done while I was there as well, and just enjoyed a day in the sun. Soaking up some Vitamin D. But I wasn't thinking about that as I enjoyed talking to a couple who lived about an hour west of Green Bay. Newly retired and enjoying a trip here and looking to see what else Green Bay has to offer. It's amazing what a day out of the apartment will do. I'm feeling so much better than I have for days. The boredom has lifted, and just maybe I can put away the On Vacation sign on my brain and get some work done on a book as well. I hope your day has gone well. Tell me how you're spending your Saturday. Thanks for reading.

I love your picture, it reminds me of the bay that we used to live down the road from. We've had a quiet afternoon, I shopped this morning. We will be going out for a quiet supper in a little while. Its such a nice day today, gentle breeze, not too hot......

Thank you. Yes, it is good to get out near the water. I'm going to need to do that more often until they close the park for winter.

Thank you. I just got a new card for the camera as the other was full and it's a 64 vs. the 32 I had. The guy at the store said it would make the images have more definition. I was amazed at how much more they were compared to the ones on the past card.

I also feel a lot better when I spend a few hours outside, walking in the woods is what I like most, even better if there is a steam or a small river.

What a beautiful photo! It looks peaceful and pretty. It reminds me of our home away from home in Florida. It has been a beautiful day here in Boston. My hubby and I did a lot of damage and helped support the Boston economy this weekend. We are on our way out for a Brazilian dinner, which we loved in Rio de Janeiro. Heard this place was exceptional!

I hope it met your expectations! Thanks. I had to change cards on the camera and got a higher resolution from 32 to 64. I'm in awe of how real that photo looks. I'm glad you helped support the Boston economy

That is great that you had a nice day outside. I haven't done much today at all. I was up early for the gym. I had my weigh-in, my "before" pictures for the Detox Diet, and then the 8am workout. Then I came home, ate, took a nap, and then a nice long bath. That's as much as I've accomplished today.

It sounds like a good day. My friend took my before picture when I started this 30 day diet. I can't wait until the after picture is taken to see the change, if any.

That is too bad the dog would not cooperate. Too bad the lady would not hold him or her still for the picture. I am glad you had a good day out. Thank you for sharing the picture with us Valerie.

@just4him He probably saw a dog he wanted to follow or wanted to continue his walk Valerie. Maybe he is also antsy and has to keep going and not stay put very long.
