i found my pants!

You may have noticed since it's gotten cooler, I'm wearing these nasty, baggy jeans in every picture. That's because I couldn't find my pants. My one sister always gives my clothes to her twin, so I just figured the twin had them, and they were gone. Today while walking I got an idea and it panned out. Yeah!

First and foremost it's Columbus Day. I don't really care about Columbus, but it's also my sister Barb's birthday. And for the greatest gift ever she is going to become a great-grandmother. that's both exciting and terrifying. I am not old enough to be a great-great aunt. Though everyone knows I'm a terrific one.

So after calling Barb and singing Happy Columbus Day to You, everyone finally arrived. We headed to Easton to do the Palmer Bike Trail. We picked this trail because it was paved, and hopefully the leaves would be dry after days of rain. For the most part they were. The black walnuts, on the other hand, were still quite the hazard.

We parked off Land Mine Road, at the park, and headed east to Easton. The original plan was to turn around and go back, past the car, and continue west. When we arrived at Easton High, I said the trail continued to Wilson, and we decided to go further. At Northampton Street, the trail goes downhill and then back up the other side.

Lydia asked how far we had gone. Bonnie told her. I warned her there was a long hill if we continued. But continued we did. Down the hill, and along the path to the football field. That's where we turned around. The next hill would have taken us to the Pump Park trail.

After returning to the car, we continued to walk to the playground. No walk is complete without swings. Two minutes after we arrived a horde of teenagers showed up. They took up all the swings except the one Bonnie was sitting on. Really? Don't they have a mall to hang out at?

Park plans foiled, we returned to the car again. Our total mileage was about 5.5 miles.

After a stop at the far for eggs and pumpkins, we headed home. Adonis was waiting for his walk.

Tonight, after supper I remembered to look for my pants. I dug out my winter "drawer" clothes and there they were. With all my long sleeved t-shirts. I can retired these baggy jeans after they are washed.

Oh, and the package I told you about yesterday. Still AWOL.
