Weekend to Myself


I had a rare weekend all to myself. Because they are rare, I enjoy these weekends. I can come and go when I want, do what I want, eat what and when I feel like it.

Yesterday, I went to the Milton Farmer's Market, Main Street Yarns and for a hike at Hilton Falls. I knew going in that Main Street Yarns had the potential to be a little dangerous because they were having a big sale. But I went in for sock yarn and sock yarn was all that I bought. I'd like to think I'm developing some self restraint but that's unlikely.

The hike at Hilton Falls was excellent. It isn't a difficult or a very long hike but it is nice and on a

hot day, quite comfortable with all of the shade from the trees. There weren't enormous numbers of people there but there are always a few. They have a fire pit at the top of the falls and, as usual, some folks were there getting it started.

An update on my organized financial life ... I know why the book has you starting in January to organize your life ... who wants to do that in the summer when there are so many other more fun things to do outside? I've read the next bit this afternoon. I need to open my mail when I get home and put my bills on my calendar so I pay them on time. I'm a classic lazy payer and am invariably a couple of days late on most bills ... except Visa ... never Visa.
