another day, another walk

 I need to stop walking like this.  Walking is supposed to be good for my health, but walking followed by a carrot cake chaser (see yesterday's blog) seems to defeat the purpose.  Once again today it was a lovely balmy day and I felt compelled to take another walk, but this time south out of my parking lot, avoiding Hall's completely.  I strolled through Freimann Square, past Anthony Wayne's statue, across the street; and wouldn't you know it, Pembroke Bakery opened its door and sucked me in.  Since I really did need some bread it wasn't a wasted trip.  I bought a loaf of sourdough and a loaf of their wonderful apple bread.  While I was waiting for it to be sliced, I happened to spy a little package of chocolate chip cookies on the shelf, and, wouldn't you know it, that little package hopped right into my hand.  It's a mystery how that happens.  I've noticed it in grocery stores also.  Mystery items, usually sweet, seem to find their way into my cart.  I was thinking that tomorrow I'm just taking a walk to church to pick up some stuff.  Then I remembered, the stuff I'm picking up is a lunch from Casa's. It's a charity lunch for SCAN so it's for a good cause, but that doesn't make it low calorie.  I may be the only person ever to gain 10 pounds taking walks.
