We don't always remember,
but this year we did.
We don't always celebrate,
but this year we did.
It really didn't look much different than any other day together,
but it is fun to give it a label.
Saturday was Sweetest Day.
Hubby and I enjoyed the day together.
We started with one single lap at our favorite park (just for a few steps).
Then we headed to the downtown area for the Harvest Festival.
We wandered a few craft booths,
enjoyed the fall decorations,
and mad our way up to our favorite Cafe.
We enjoyed a huge harvest bowl -
quinoa, sweet potato, roast chicken, apples, cranberries, pumpkin seeds.
I think we could have split one, but we didn't realize how large they would be.
We wandered town for a few more steps,
and then because hubby was such a good sport about the festival,
I bought him an iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
With coffee in hand,
we went down the street to another local park to walk the Scarecrow Trail.
This was our second visit this year
and our third year to attend.
As we got back to the car ...
I hit 13,000 steps - my goal!
Now to head home to just relax.
Click.
Click.
Oops! The battery was dead.
Firestone about 3/4 mile down the road - no battery in stock.
Discount tire about 1 mile - we don't stock batteries.
We decided to trek to Walmart to get the battery.
3 miles ... one way!
We got out battery
and after a long walk back (especially for the one carrying the battery)
we were up and running!
How many steps for the day?
Well, it was my record for the year 27,000!
What a blessing that it was a beautiful day!
What a blessing that we did not go dead in a more remote location!
What a blessing that our daily workouts made that jaunt seem feasible!
It wasn't the afternoon that we expected,
but we did enoy spending the WHOLE of Sweetest Day together
and creating a new, crazy memory.
Oh!
And hubby is going to listen to that little voice that tells him
we must be getting close to needing a new battery.
The old one was 6 years old this month!
