Not a Walk at The Park

I intended to go for a walk at the park today but the parking lot was completely full. I think everyone is enjoying the last few outings before school starts. The playground was running over with kids and all the picnic tables taken. Hammocks were attached to every tree. I had books to place in the book box but we circled around the parking lot and drove on. I'll take the books another day. We weren't far from Kholes so we drove on to the store. I wanted to use the last money on a gift card we've had since Christmas. I looked at their sales and bought dish towels marked down from 19.00 to 8.00 and wash clothes marked down from 10.00 to 3.00. I still have dish towels I have never used so I put these in the linen closet and I'll use them at a later date. We came back to the complex and stopped at the gym. We met friends there and chatted awhile. I walked an hour on the treadmill. A pretty good walk. That's about my usual walk at the park. It was boring but not too bad. I watched people in the swimming pool and others walking their dogs down the trail at the back of the gym. I hope you had a good Saturday.

Thank you. The picture is the creek at the back of our complex. I wish all my pictures turned out that well.

I did have a good Saturday, I gave my cemetery tour today so I am glad that is over. I am glad that you got your walk in even if it was boring.

I enjoyed my walk but it would have better at the park. Do you work as guide at the cemetery?

he trail through the trees look beautiful. It's very quiet here, it seems that everybody has left to spend some days at the beaches.

@LadyDuck I believe some of our kids went back to school Monday, other will start next week. Back some years ago all schools in our area started on the 3rd of September but now it's early august.

Vacations are about over here, It's time for kids to get back to school.The creek is behind our complex. I used to walk there but I haven't for awhile. There are more hills to climb at the park, gives me a better workout.

Too bad there was no room at the park. Just a day of grocery shopping and working on the PC. Looking forward to getting offline and relaxing. Hope you have a great Sunday.

I like some things at Khols, but not their prices, so don't go there often. Sorry the walk on the treadmill was boring.. but good for you getting the walk in.

@Courtlynn Sometimes you can't avoid it, I went to Marshals today to get my betterhalf a wallet and found a cute dress on the sale rack for 7.00. I hardly ever wear a dress but I couldn't resist that price. It's white with black stripes going around and it just fits. I hit the jackpot. It also has long sleeves.

Yes, the treadmill is better than nothing. I only go to Kholes when they have a good sale. I find bargains at those times, I wouldn't pay full price. They are too expensive.

@RubyHawk Sorry you could not walk at the park and had to settle for the gym instead. I sat on our porch and took in the sun and read and Sophie came up for her pets.

@JustBhem Yes, walking is one of the best exercises. You probably cannot walk due to your illness, but I hope you will be able to do anything you want soon.

Saturdays are always my busy day here with doing this or that. You seemed to get a real bargain there with items saled at a very low price. I love buying towels, from bath ones to kitchen etc .

I'm usually as busy on weekends as I am through the week. I sometimes find myself doing laundry on Sunday. I always look for bargains. I shop the best sales.

Walking is the best thing we can do for ourselves, and it doesn't cost a dime, unless you must pay a gym.

No, this trail is at the back of our complex. it's a good place to walk but the trail is shorter than the one at the park. It's a beautiful little creek.

There are many evenings where I'll go for a walk in a local park. It's always nicest right around sunset. although that's when mosquitoes start coming out.

Since we were hitting 96 or so (again), we stayed home, watered the plants and hanging pots later and had a great fresh tuna salad for dinner.

I'm sure everyone was out enjoying the last days before school starts. I'm sorry the parking lot was full up, but it's good to know the kids were out playing instead of inside playing on their gadgets. I'm glad you had a good walk on the treadmill.

On most days, I walk to the local library which takes about half an hour. After spending a couple of hours it is a walk back home. The weather is pleasant - siva
