Saturday morning I managed another walk to the Brickworks Market – round trip 10kms. I took a 6lb backpack and wore my new walking (running) shoes. These were the Under Armour ones I got from Sporting Life for $40.00 – on sale. They were perfect – no blisters.<\/p>\n

I upped the ante for the walk back, because I bought a basket of peaches that weighed 4 lbs. This meant that I was carrying about 10lbs of dead weight on my back. It slowed me a little and by the end I could feel my hips, but I still made it home in 1.25 hours.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Other joys this week were:<\/p>\n

1. My son finished sanding and painting the wrought iron railing around the front porch. It looks amazing.<\/p>\n

2. I got a good quote for power washing the stone work at the front of the house. Plus they will sand and paint the front door, the moulding, re-caulking as needed, however, the kicker might have been the fact that they would paint a wrought iron, indoor staircase railing to the second floor for FREE!!<\/p>\n

3. Orders continue at work – this is always good.<\/p>\n

4. Had coffee with a friend at Aroma. Always wonderful conversations about books, life and more… <\/p>\n

5. The weather has been perfect!! I could get drunk on Summer!!<\/p>\n

My Joy for the Joy Jar this week has to be my 10km, 10lb walk to and from the Brickworks. Yes, I like peaches, but I love the ravines even more and the fact that there is a busy market destination at the end of mud creek ravine, makes me want to walk forever!! <\/p>\n

Have an awesome week!!<\/p>\n
