Breakfast was postponed until 9:30 this morning. I dropped off my car at Mechanic Eric's just before that and walked up the block to have breakfast at the cafe. Afterward I walked up to the end of the block to drop off the book I'd just finished at the library and took a little time to peruse their astronomy section. Interesting that a lot of the books they had were the same as I had in my library. Walked across the road to pick up my mail at the post office and then back past the museum and down the block to the coffee shop for a latte. Sat at one of the tables while I played Words With Friends. When the church bells began to ring I sauntered further on down the block, past the barber's/stylist's place, back to Eric's. He was having some choice words with the wheel bearings on my Subaru but said to me he was almost finished. He took a quick drive in it to assure himself everything was safe and sound and handed me the keys. Once home I thought about it ...I've lived in a large city and in the suburbs of an even bigger city. Aside from no Indian restaurants, it's nice to live in a community where you walk wherever you need to go. The temp is in the 60's the air smells of fresh cut hay. The sun is shining. Almost makes me walk out into the field, take a twirl, and start singing something from 'The Sound of Music.'
