Random Droppings

For one reason or another, we've decided to take the Boy for early morning runs. We're a hlaf-mile uphill from a school with a decent track, so that's where we all headed this am, early and not-yet-bright. With my trusty pedometer on my hip, we walked down the hill, ran three laps on the half-mile track, walked uphill to the store, and walked back home. Total mileage for the hour+ was 6 miles.

Then the Boy went to his karate class. We are all currently in the family room watching Xmas classics on tv, while the pumpkin-apple butter pie bakes. This is a new recipe that the paper recently published; it sounded yummy so we are trying it out today. After this finishes baking we'll put the turkey in and have a little feast for the second night of Hannukah.

With all the trekking back and forth within the house, my mileage is up to 7 miles for the day. :-)

The rabbits and raccoons are singing in Rudolph's Xmas. Ah, there's the buzzer. Pie's done. Time to put turkey in.
