May 27, 2013. Artemas, PA. The Walk.

It is a lovely long walk and something I have not done for years, but this morning after a leisurely breakfast, the three ladies went for walk on the farm.   We went across fields and through woods, finally going down the hill to walk right beside the babbling creek.    There was lots of water in the creek which meant that the creek could be heard from quite a distance.  It is a lovely sound.  After a glass of water while sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch of the farm house,  we were required to climb the hill.  I kept hoping the men might come looking for us in the gator but to no avail.  We three ladies climbing the steep hill after our ninety minute walk around the farm.

Lunch at the Road Kill Cafe is always a pleasure, especially the ice cream for dessert.   The other Ruth bought a Father's Day gift for Sheldon...a Road Kill hat and shirt.

The two ladies cooked dinner at the farm house.   Ken made a big fire in the late afternoon and we all  enjoyed the chilly air warmed by the fire.  By 7:30, we six were enjoying dinner in the dining room of the farm house, something we have not done for years.  Apple pie and ice cream for dessert.   Our long walk this morning was our excuse to eat two desserts today.   And we talked about everyone we have ever known, trying to figure out what happened and when.  It was lively and funny, all sitting around the dining table with friends.   It does not get much better than a day like today!!
