New Friend

 Technically I have more than one.  Started walking at the mall with the mall walkers.  I estimate there are about a hundred regulars altogether.  It's a community. And the faces become familiar quickly.

So shortly after I started, I kept noticing these two younger guys as opposed to the oldsters.  Guys somewhere around my own age.  And they kept waving and smiling as we pass each other on opposite sides of the mall.  And then it proceeds to quick questions as we pass each other.  Well who am I kidding, I never pass them.  They always pass me. 

A couple of weeks ago one of them walked with me and a friendship is born. It is kind of strange to meet someone and have that person ask real questions about my life.  We have done the back and forth of age, occupation, kids, etc.  

I think this is what comes from putting yourself out there a bit.  I have a new friend at the mall.   

Unfinished Projects

 Oh my gosh.  I either have too many projects planned or too many starts.  I have burn piles to finish.  Only have one started and it was not successful as it was too wet.  I'm halfway done with cutting down blackberry vines at Jodi's.  I think I've done the easy part of that.  The hottub is gone and the patio cleaned.  Then I started priming the cover for paint and remember why I don't like painting.  It's above my head work and waiting for some nicer days again.  I started some clean up next door and should really finish it.  

Feeling just a little overwhelmed.  And it isn't long until it is time for the drive to Indiana and all that entails.  Hoping to get my little garden planted before that.  See, too many projects.
