Project 365 - May 28, 2021

Holiday Morning Walk

I was quite ambitious on Friday. I knew there were four days for me to enjoy off from work with lots of events planned. But when I woke up and rolled out of bed to get ready for my walk, I had extra energy and a little spring in my step. 

The sites along my walk did not disappoint me! Although I miss walking with Greg, I also enjoy the peace and quiet and the stillness of dawn. 

After my walk, I hopped in the car and headed to a doctor’s appointment and since it was raining, I thought I would walk around Kohl’s to see if I could find any special deals. Not much really, but then I remembered that I needed a box to ship stuff off to Rachel and potting soil so that I could finally plant the scallions that have been taking root in my kitchen. So I stopped at Home Depot.

When I returned home, I refueled with some lunch so that I had another burst of energy to clean the house and prepare the guest room/office/former Rachel’s bedroom!! My cousin is coming to spend the weekend and I like it to look nice for company. It’s what Gloria taught me!

Then I had to run to Hyundai to get my car serviced. And, while I was there, I visited with my good buddy Tony King. He, of course, was trying to convince me to trade in my car for a 2021 because they are in need of used cars. Didn’t do that but I told him I would think about it for less than I am paying now!

While I was there and waiting for my car, I ordered Pub Subs (for those of you not in south Florida — those are subway sandwiches made at Publix).  

When I got home I packed my car with my chair, beverages, and snacks and picked up Roberto, and off we went to Friday Night Sound Waves. It is a weekly concert series in a new park on Las Olas and the beach. 

The weather was perfect and the music — the Valerie Tyson Band — was wonderful. I have hired that band many times in Pompano Beach and also for Broward 100. I made a new friend who loves the arts. I also made another friend who shared a glass of wine. It was like a small community of relaxed, chill people. The age range was from 2 to 80!  A perfect evening. 

And, I love the new parking garage public art!
