Blog post: Jan. 7

Got up to about 55 today, another day with lots of blue in the sky.. Didn't really have any plan on were to go, but I knew I was going for a walk!. So I started out walk'n up to the first stop sign then, 'stop' , Now I got 4 directions to choose, so I end up  going straight, and then I made a right, eventually I went to the market, had to get some stuff for the fridge anyway and I had a few dollars and on top of that it was a nice day.. (not a cloud all day) I came back, put my things away, stayed for about an hr. or so then went back out some more!. I went down to 'Painted Barrels' stayed there awhile then came back, it was starting to get dark.. Now I'll make a couple of hamburgers and watch a couple of movies!.

Blog post: Jan. 5

Ya know, I think the cool weather makes me sleep more, I get a solid 6, 7 hrs. every night, last night I went to bed alittle after 12 (normally I turn in around 1) and I awoke this morning at 9:42, that's like.....like (counts on fingers) a really long time, as soon as I woke up, I checked my pulse to see if I was alive!. (I am) Down Fla. I'd go to sleep at 12 or so, wake at 2 or 3 and then say, "Heyyyy, it's only 3, I can go back to sleep"!. Here, nooOOOooooo, I sleep right thru the whole night!. (No, I don't have a sleeping problem......RIGHT) My friend Carl, added a new menu item, every Sun. from 12-4 is 'Pancakes all you can eat $5.00 then others too like, biscuts'n'gravy /bacon / sausage / and your choice of milk or coffee, all for extra like $1.00 or $1.50... I had bscuts'n'gravy /pancakes / bacon and scrambled eggs.....oh and a pepsi!. (so I just basically said, "yeah" to all) Ya know it's funny, whenever I go in there my belly doesn't quite touch the edge of the table, but when I leave it does!. 'Kimberly's Little Hut' they have a little paper menu of the usual but if they're have a special, they'll make a sign and put it on their wall, "Ask us about our special steak night" or "Ask us about our New Year's Eve. Dinner".. (which was a Ribeye, which all I left was the aluminum foil) A few times a week he has his bbg out there, 1 day is a regular 'Country Fried Steak'  and Thurs. is regular 'Hamburger' day, (that's my day) sat for little while after I finished, watched some tv then walked it of around the 'Square'!. I went up and got some things from Casey's....That's.........that's........about it!.

Today was a beautiful day, not a cloud all day, started out at about 32 warmed up to about 50, alittle breezy, but really nice!. Walked down talked alittle with Carl, he works down at, 'Kimberly's Little Hut' then I walked on down to Casey's, had a candy bar and a root beer by the 'Square'!. Didn't really feel like going back home, so I just stayed out and visited with a few more people, it was such a nice day.. (now I'm getting ready to chow down on my personal pan pizza......err, well, small personal pizza)

Blog post: Jan.1

I haven't been here in a long time, June 30/July 1, but I'm gonna try to keep this up and keep posting on Facebook too:
Started out alittle cool this morning but quickly warmed up, I think it got up to about 60 today, if not the upper 50's anyway! Clear, alittle breezy (some little cats and dogs, maybe a cow or two)!. Had to walk down to the market and get afew things for the house, and of those few things I got a candy bar and soda and I sat by the 'Square'!. First the yard crew came by, they do this often, they keep it 'leaf free' on the yard..(Hey just saw the first truck of the new yr!....) Anyway, they keep it nice and tidy.. There wasn't much in the way of cars out.. I seen the first bald eagle of the new yr. fly over, and a couple of zombies, I'd say they were in their early teens and very focused on their fones!. (afew times they almost walked in to each other) It was a nice day here in Girard today, tomorrow I have to go to Walgreens to get my pics. then I shall walk to Wendy's (which isn't far) then to Wallyworld (which is right next door) so I'll be out till 2 anyway...

Blog post: 6/30

9:18 in the am, and ready to start my day.. Have to go down the store today sometime and get some stuff.. Last week or so, I've been going to the library around 2, but maybe today I'll go earlier (idk).. Nice day today, just came in from outside, nice, no clouds, maybe in the upper 70's right now, nice day for a walk around the square, (lol) of-course the weekend is pretty dead here, don't expect to see ANY cars here going up 'n' down the road here on the weekend!. (maybe 1-2... at best)
At the tone it'll be 12:30............Ya know what!?. I'll just say it's 12:30 cause you wouldn't be able to hear the tone anyway!!.. I had a good lunch up at the 'Casey's General Store' grilled chicken wrap with a coke!.. I was gonna go to this local cafe just on the east side of the square, conveniently called, 'The Eastside Cafe' but it was loaded in there.. If the bar 'n' grill that I went to yesterday was closer, like maybe a quarter mile, then I would've gone there but that place was like a mi.'n' a half!. Ok so, it's 1:00, obviously I'm not going to the library 'Early'!.

I ended up staying for an hr. then I just came back..

Blog post: 6/29

I finally got up early enough to walk up the cemetery!. It's prolly between a 5 and 10 acre fields.. I didn't see every tombstone or grave marker but I did walk around and seen a lot, the ones I did see where middle 1800's to early 1900's, I did see a lot of people born early 1800 and died middle to late 1800, I even saw tombstones that would say 1866-1868 and 9.. There were even markers that said 1975, 80 and it's not a run down cemetery, it's pretty well kept.. (just hope if anybody followed me back, I hope they let me know now and not like 8 or 9 tonight) On the way back, I stopped at a bar 'n' grill and had me a coke.. When I  started walking, it was prolly in the 70's but after I got to the cemetery it was prolly in the 80's.. I stayed, had myself a hamburger and tots and another coke, prolly stayed for a good hr. When I left and started walking back it was prolly 88 or so, so I got a coke to go.. Beautiful day to walk through the cemetery!..  (One of those whispy days (ya know!?)
