What the Junk?!

Thursday evening post

So, here I am sitting on the balcony posting my evening post. I have eaten and it was delicious.  My friend didn't get ready until it was almost too late to go to Victoria's. They close at 8 and I was upset because I didn't want to go in and hold them over.  We got our food to go and were out before they closed so that was okay.  We brought it back here to eat and it was delicious.  Sadly, since we brought it back here to eat, we didn't do anything else while out.  Oh well.

I am enjoying the quiet of the evening and the sound of the waves crashing in on the beach. I hope tomorrow's weather is as nice as it was today!  I am not sure exactly what I plan for tomorrow.  We'll see.  I would like to go to the pavilion one more time before we leave but who knows.  I might wait until Sunday for that since we will still be here.  That oceanfront Starbucks will be open tomorrow, though... :)

Here is a picture from the balcony tonight.  Enjoy and I'll see you tomorrow morning!

Thursday late afternoon post

I walked down to the Springmaid pier and back just a bit ago.  I came back here and took a quick shower and put on fresh clothes.  I was sweaty and hot!  That shower was nice.  The walk was great.  I had a nice time.  I hope my friend will get himself in gear soon.  We are planning to go to Victoria's again tonight.  Yummy!  I want some of those delicious pork chops.

I am so glad the weather cleared up today.  It makes it much nicer for doing things.  I am glad I waited until this afternoon to walk as it really is pretty toasty.  I will have a nighttime beach walk much later, but for now, I'm going to relax and wait until my friend is ready to go eat.  After I cool down a bit more and post this, I'll go sit on the balcony.  It's shady out there now and it should be a bit cooler with the breeze from the ocean coming in.

This last picture was taken on the little porch/deck on the back of the hotel.  I sat there for a bit and enjoyed the shade! :p   It's a peaceful place when there aren't a lot of people around and I had that advantage today. 

Tuesday Morning Post

So, my Fitbit alarm went off at 10:30 as it always does.  I turned it off and then went back to sleep! lol. A bit later, I looked at my Fitbit and it was 11:30. D'oh!  I went ahead and got up then.  I went on the balcony to take a few morning pictures.  It's overcast tonight but quite nice. It's a good day for walking. 

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do.  I might skip a regular walk and go for a couple of beach walks instead.  I have to get myself awake first. We don't have any food in the room as of yet, just snacks, so If my friend isn't ready to go eat or do anything, I might walk to get a bit of food.  There is a McDonald's nearby but I'm not sure if they are letting you go in for ordering.  D'oh! I didn't even think about that.  I'll have to see how it goes.  I'll post again later today, of course.  Here are the pictures I took to share.

Walking on Wednesday!

It rained a bit today and it was a little chilly at times.  My friend and I walked anyway!  We had planned to walk today and it was a little up in the air because of the rain, but it had stopped and cleared off for the most part.  We went to the trail and walked.  It was a bit cool and I should have carried my hoodie, but I didn't. It was okay though.  We got in a nice walk.

While I was waiting for my friend to pick me up, I took a picture of the sky over my house.  I love the way the green trees look against the sky. So pretty!

Walking and other things

I was planning on staying in today and getting stuff done.  Well, I did get a lot done, but I also went for a walk along the Riverwalk Trail!  I found a new little creek area off the trail.  I took pictures to share:

This is a pretty little area.  I didn't do across the creek, but it looks as if the trail goes on past that.  I might text that out someday.  I have my bed linen in the dryer and I'm just waiting to put it back on the bed and then I'm going to crash on it and read until bedtime. I'm one tired puppy!

Whoo boy!

So, let's get this day done please!  I had a hard time sleeping because it was too warm in my room.  I turned on my fan and that helped.  This afternoon, I was sitting in my room and I was hot.  I looked up the weather on Google and it was in the 80's.  Well no wonder I felt warm!  I decided it was time to put my air conditioner in the window for the season.  It will make sleeping so much easier tonight.

I was thinking about putting that in the window while I was working a puzzle.  My friend texted and wanted to walk around 5 pm.  I agreed, so I got my lunch and then got the air conditioner in the window and had a little time to relax before he came.  We went to our new regular part of the trail and walked.  The sky got a little overcast and that helped make the walk a little cooler.  After we walked, he wanted a milkshake so we went to get that.  I got a soda and then we rode around a bit.  He asked if it were too early for me to eat.  I said, Nope! LOL. It's never too early. :p

We were going to Sonic, but they have now taped up all the drive-up bays and you can only go through the drive-thru and it was backed up a lot.  He decided to go to the barbeque place we recently tried.  They have a drive-thru and we got food there.  Delicious!  He ate here and then headed home.  After he left, I took my bed apart and then tightened everything back up and put the bed back together.  DOH!!!!!!  I just realized I forgot to measure the frame while I had it apart. ~_~;;; AHHHHHH. Hopefully this time my tightening will last for a while.  We'll hope so anyway.

So, let's share a picture of the puzzle in progress and one picture from the trail. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!  

Puzzle and a walk

I started a new puzzle today and it's the same brand as the last two so it has the tiny pieces. Ah!  I got a bit done and then my friend and I went for a walk on the Riverwalk trail.  We ate while we were out, too.  After I got home, I did more of the puzzle.  It's not bad at all.  I should finish it tomorrow easily.

My replacement notebooks for my Foxy Fix came in today and they are absolutely perfect! They are the perfect size and they are nice quality too!  The paper is thick and it's lined nicely, too.  It had eight inserts so I'll have plenty for a while.  I now get to decorate the covers.  That will be fun to do. I already have some ideas.  I am glad I found these notebooks. I put them back on my wishlist so I can re-order them in the future. Here are some pictures.

Here is the first notebook inside the Foxy.  The little card in the pocket came with my order from Paper Issues. It's so cute!

 

Here is one of notebooks open.

Here us the outside of my beautiful Foxy with the adorable Starbucks charm from Berry Sweet Plans

And finally, here is the current puzzle in progess.

Stay safe out there and remember to wash your hands!

Warm weather ...

Yes, the weather is warm here and it's nice. It got chilly a bit this weekend, but it's back up to being in the 60's. It's nice outside.  With most every restaurant going to take out/drive-thru only, having nice weather helps.  My friend and I walked on the Riverwalk trail today.  There were a few people down there, but not a lot.  There were more than I actually expected.   It felt good to get out in the fresh air.  I wore my new shoes and they did fine.  Certainly can't beat $10 for brand new shoes!

I started a new puzzle today. It's the same brand as the one I finished yesterday and it's got those tiny puzzle pieces. Ahh!  It's also mainly water and rocks.  I got the water done and part of the greenery above the water on the rocks.  I will finish it tomorrow. It's going to be interesting for sure!

Enjoy a picture of the puzzle and a few of the river from the walk:

Oh dear!

What a day! First of all, I was so tired when I got up even though I went to bed a little early last night.  I started a puzzle this afternoon and was working away on it when my friend texted and said he wanted to walk today.  I said, okay!  We did and it was nice.  We didn't get to walk a long way, but we did walk for about an hour and it was nice to get back into it.  He dropped me off and I called my other friend to see if she perhaps wanted to go to Starbucks. :p   She said she was going to carry her son so he could pick up food so I rode with them and we went by Starbucks too!  Guess what they don't have anymore? Yes, my cascara syrup. I was so sad.  I decided to try something different.  I got a blonde cafe latte.  It was okay, but it wasn't as good as my beloved cascara. I'll be on the search for the perfect replacement!

Since I was interrupted, I didn't finish the puzzle today.  That is okay, I'll finish it tomorrow.  I would have finished it today if hadn't gone out and then as soon as I got home turned around and went out again!  I'll post a picture of the puzzle below. I'm also going to share a few pictures of the trail.  I was able to get a picture of one of the fallen bridges.  It's been messed up for well over a year!  The other bridge that is gone was too far behind barriers for me to get a picture.  

That bridge is toast!  I hope they are planning to fix it along with the other one.  The other bridge was a wooden one with metal sides.  This one was was concrete.  It just washed away in the hurricane rains in 2018.

NaNoWriMo Day Two and a Day Trip Too!

I am done with NaNoWriMo day two!  I also went on a day trip to The High Bridge Trail. It's located in and around Farmville VA.  The trail head we got on was at Rice, VA.  There is a almost half mile long bridge that is 125 feet  over the Appomattox River.  It's a beautiful spot.  I took a lot of pictures from the bridge and some along the parts of the trail we walked on.  I came home and got my NaNoWriMo words done for today.  Still on track and I'm a bit ahead. ^_^

I forgot to mention that on the way up, we were stopped by a herd of cows in the middle of the highway! lol . I tried to get a picture before they mooooved, but this is the best I got:
