| Enjoying coffee together |
We managed to get in almost five miles (4.8) and the wind was just beginning to come up when we finished, and only a few stray raindrops made an appearance. Some of us decided to enjoy a hot cup of coffee before heading off into the rest of our day. While we sat there, we saw the rain start, and now, more than four hours later, it's still pouring outside. Yes, we dodged it all and had our exercise for the day behind us before it started.
And now I'm sitting inside my cozy apartment finishing up my latest book, Becoming, by Michelle Obama. At first I thought I'd buy the Kindle version, but when I saw the book at our local bookstore, I decided to buy the hard copy so I'd be able to look as much as I wanted at the color pictures in the center. I'm glad I did, because it really helped me visualize how much she has done for women in general. Not to mention how young she is: lots more time, I hope to make more of a difference in the world, especially for black women.
Once I'm done with the book, which will be later today, I'll start a fluffy novel that I've also been looking forward to reading. It's still raining hard and blowing outside. A good day to curl up with a book (or two).
:-)
The perfect weather to curl up and read a book.
ReplyDeleteYay for getting your exercise in. And definitely yay for curling up with a good book (or six).
ReplyDeleteYes, Michelle Obama is a good example but I also think she is a good leader and will become a better leader as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteBy the time I got my PT exercises done, and the grocery shopping, the rain had hit here. Instead of trying a walk outside, I did 7. miles on the stationary bike, where I can read my kindle as I work out.
ReplyDeleteWe received a copy of "Becoming" for Christmas. I do intend to read it, but I don't like holding big books anymore, and the Kindle is so handy for reading at night when I can't sleep, since it has its own light.
"Becoming" is on my list as well, although I have considered having it be my next audio book (I always have one going in the car.) Now, you've made me rethink about getting the hardback.
ReplyDeleteA good reading choice.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who bought the book and seems to like it. That is a very nice scene looking out of the window of that restaurant.
ReplyDeletePouring rain is a good book day. Glad you all got your walk in before it started coming down in earnest. :)
ReplyDeleteYour one man must really have bragging rights with his friends will all of you women.
ReplyDeleteI had heard that the winds were quite brisk in your area. You really timed your walk perfectly.
One very brave man back for a second walk! Aloha finally. Warm!
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a Happy and Healthy New Year , may it be filled with Blessings galore.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I read an unauthorized bio of her. I remember parts...and especially the hard times she had with conception. I loved the love the two have for each other. Hey, that rain you had must be causing our cold front. Deposed to drop into the 30's a couple nights-brrrr.
ReplyDeleteAuto correct changed my S'posed to deposed.
DeleteIt's raining here, too, but I've already skipped to my fluffy mystery novel. Happy new year.
