Not Much Of A Morning

7:13

It's 9:00 as I got a late start this morning, not getting up until 7:00, getting out on the lake after 8:00 until a gray morning,  When I woke, the last thing I felt like doing was kayaking but once I got out there, it acted as a restorative and I felt better, ready for the day.

Kayak Morning

Thursday was an easy day, not much going on, just things we wanted to do.  After kayaking, blog and breakfast, we decided on a walk which we have never taken before, the Riverside Walk from Clifton Ave, just past Greenhurst into Jamestown.  I have ridden it on my bike but we have never walked it.  It follows the Chadokoin River on one side and industrial development on the other.  It's a ten-foot asphalt path all the way into Jamestown and a short walk from McCrea Point where the Chautauqua Belle is moored for the winter.  It's not particularly interesting but worth walking at least once,  Afterward, we drove to Tops, deciding to shop there since it was nearby and it usually has few shoppers, making us wonder how it survives.  We found everything we needed for our dinners and as we expected, few shoppers were moving through the aisles.

Riverside Walk Looks Like A Golf Cart Path

We didn't get back until after 1:00 and I had a quick lunch, Evie's white chili with avocado, cheese and lime.  I loved it.  I watched another episode of Normal People who don't seem normal, then read and napped until 2:30. We relaxed until 4:00 when Evie decided we should put up our faux Christmas tree on our front porch.  I managed to squeeze the box out of our attic and we put it together easily, too easily obviously because it won't light up even though we took it apart again and then put it back together.  Frustrating.  

Buffleheads Thursday Morning

We decided to worry about it Friday and got ready to drive to Linda and Ron's at 6:00 for pizza and a salad.  We had hoped to get to a winery, sit outside on their front porch but it was closed so we had to make do with pizza and beers at their house, a bummer, not.  We picked up pizzas around 7:30, from a local Mexican restaurant, go figure, and sat around enjoying it until 8:45 when all four of us were getting tired.  We were home just after 9:00, in time to get on our sweats and watch some TV before going to bed earlier than usual.

Words to Ponder from conservative commentator Charlie Sykes:

“This is actually the most dangerous 60 days of the Trump presidency. There are no norms that he’s not willing to violate. There’s no standard of decency that he’s not willing to shred.”
