Pictures from Lunch Breaks and Walks

Ten days.  I’ve cut out the twenty thousand words and finished all the essays. But, I don’t think I am any closer to a book.  It sure can be frustrating. However, I am ahead of schedule on one thing: I mailed off my income tax information to Chris Morris, CPA today! Yay, that’s done.

I got a note from blogger friend Carol Ferenc saying she had not been getting my blog update notices.  Uh oh.  Maybe I should post some pictures.  I was surprised to see that I had not downloaded pictures from the camera since January 31.  Gosh I have been absorbed in the work. We have been taking the walking breaks every few hours and attempting to cover four miles per day.  Since I always wear my camera, I had quite a few pictures.  I’m not going to say much about them though because it is almost bedtime.

We met for lunch at Fiesta Key RV park on Long Key before our Concert Association meeting.  We ate in this tiki.

We were taking our regular one-mile walk when neighbors Bill and Dawn stopped thier car by us and yelled, “Happy Pączki Day!” So, even though we were exercising, we are not ones to turn down a jelly doughnut.

A few minutes later, we caught up with Bill and Dawn.  She had gone inside to see her mother and Bill was waiting in the car.  He saw us walking up behind him licking our fingers and held some napkins out the window.
