It’s a Cocoa Gravy Monday Morning

I’ve never done this before, but Mama Trudy requested cocoa gravy for breakfast this morning, so I thought … I can do that.  And I did. I wish making cocoa gravy was all it took to make me like my mama.

There was a skinny woman inside me screaming to get out this morning, but I shut her up with COCOA GRAVY on BUTTERED TOASTED!!  Mama Trudy said, “I think you’ve shut her up every day since you got here!”  And then she laughed… well, because it was funny. Who asked her, anyway???? 

Well, coming from my mama and with the prompting of my favorite niece and husband, when Don got back from his walk, I went for a walk.

Of course, I took my camera.

A pretty place around the corner from mama’s place.

And a little further down the street….

A view toward Trenton and the Sand Mountains Ridge.

It’s hard to tell in the winter time, but I’m pretty sure this tree beside the creek is dead.

Lookout Mountain Creek. We’ve had so much rain, it looks more like a river.

I walked on this street….

and this street…and this street, which is more of the street above…Same street around the curve.

I just came from that way.

Turning into the apartment driveway.

Almost back to where I started from.

3,225 steps later..

2,647 aerobic steps… had to stop to take pictures.1.01 miles in 25 minutes… like I said, I had to stop and take pictures.

I burned how many calories?  What!?!! Only 47 calories burned.  That does not take care of that Cocoa Gravy!! But this pedometer sure makes me look like a serious walker.  Will have to work up to more aerobic miles, I suppose.
