Christmas Day 2009

I got up this morning and went for my little walk.  I had gotten out of the habit of walking while in Thailand and I need to get back in the habit of walking as much as possible.  The morning was crisp and cold and it was a nice walk  but nothing really exciting happened other than just the usual Mother Nature type things which are nice.

Later in the morning, I walked down to Jake’s Bluff to say Merry Christmas to Jake.  Boy, I need to get down there and clean that area up.  There are dead branches all over and the vines are starting to come up too making it hard to walk without getting caught.

I walked on down to the river where the swing used to be and stood there a while reflecting on some old times.  I kept hearing noises like something walking in the brush.  I would look around and not see anything and then I would hear it again.  With my bad hearing in my right ear, it is hard to judge where sounds are coming from so I don’t know which way to look.  Finally I looked across the river and there were horses on the other bank.  I am not sure when they started running horses over there but they sure have some now.

Then I walked back up to Four Corners and started walking towards the Picnic area and Darren yelled at me so I waited for him.  He had been out hunting his pigs again this morning but he took a break and walked with me to Scenic Overlook and then we went back through the Picnic area and then came on home.  It was a nice walk.

I am getting ready to go down to Margaret and Jack’s and have dinner with the family.  It has been a good day.
