| John and Gene at Avellino's |
Our walk this morning was lovely. We were all ready with raincoats, but it was cool, breezy and dry as we navigated the hilly walk in Northridge Park for somewhere around five miles or more. I wasn't feeling all that energetic so I mostly brought up the rear of the eleven of us. I could barely see Cindy (our leader), who was far ahead of me most of the time. Judith kept me company, though.
Now I'm home and resting up in my favorite chair and will soon return to my book that kept me up so late last night. My friend Judy bought it awhile back and lent it to me. If you'd like a good read, try Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History. It's so well written that I couldn't put it down. Maybe that's part of why I was so tired this morning on the walk. I'll finish the book today.
:-)
regardless if you were tired, you went anyway. :) love your two old crusty pals. :)
ReplyDeleteSafe fishing to Gene! Crusty old guys?? I would recognize them anywhere! Glad you had a good walk! :)
ReplyDeleteMy smaller portion's beard is looking remarkably like Gene's. As is his 'high' forehead.
ReplyDeleteLove that you walked anyway. Further and no doubt faster than I could manage.
John and Gene look like interesting characters with lots of great stories.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your friend.
ReplyDeleteYour determination shows through again as you hit the trail.
The book looks interesting. I will give it a try.
I'm reading A Man Called Ove and it's fabulous! A friend recommended it to me and at first I thought I wouldn't like it but then it took hold of me and I can't put the book down because I'm caring so much about Ove.
ReplyDeleteAh how precious is a good book. I finished mine last night and now I feel bereft! I have been reading Italian Shoes by Henning Mankel, who wrote the Wallander series.
ReplyDeleteYour friends' beards are something else, aren't they!
I've read the book....excellent.
ReplyDeleteAs for the salmon....I'd not only bake some for dinner tonight, but I'd have Bud 'smoke' some too.
Great photo.
I'm going to need a new reading list. I'll add this book. It's Sunday morning as I read this. We have had a very busy three days, and we are off to a slow start this morning. got to get out for a walk. I think the rain is done for a day or so.
ReplyDeleteI eat salmon once a week. Lucky you to get fresh salmon from Alaska. Bet you are looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWas nice to see John and Gene!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been up late! I can't imagine you are often at the tail end of the group. Good for you that you made it regardless. :) Looks like a good book, too!!
Avellino's sounds like a great place! And thanks for the tip -- Isaac's Storm is going on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteA book recommendation! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this cooler weather!
