Finally going to Racebrook Tract
Ever since I found out there was an easy hiking trail in the area I have wanted to go to it. It is called The Racebrook Tract. It is in Orange and about 7 miles from here. It is considered to be easy to moderate hike and it’s in a beautiful area. I invited Dave and Jim (his partner) to join me at 11:30. It is going to be cool temperatures (45 to 50 degrees) so I am going to break out a sweat shirt with my work out clothes. I don’t normally wear socks but I think today I will. AS I am reading the link I posted above I should not be surprised to know that there is a connection to the Yale forestry school. I am very excited that it will cross into Woodbridge which is beautiful farm land and rural area. In all likelihood I won’t be taking pictures I tend to forget but I am sure Dave and Jim will remind me.
So I went to Wallingford yesterday. The ride was nice even though it rained a little. When I got there no one else from the meetup was there. I waited for about prerequisite 15 minutes then left and stopped at the local Petco and got the food for the cats. The ride home was uneventful and the sun was breaking out from behind the clouds as I reached Orange. It went back in a short time later.
When I got home I checked on the chicken dish and had some. It was not finished. So I cooked it for another hour or so. It was okay. I put it in the refrigerator and cleaned up the kitchen.
The cats were fed during all that and they were indignant that I waited so long. They will get over it. They will have to when Liz feeds them the weekend I am in Allentown. She won’t do it at the crack of dawn like I do.
The rest of the night was pretty quiet. Finished posting yesterday’s entry and mailed a copy to Debra and checked on websites and of course checked my snail mail.
Just as Sideri wrote in her reply the letter from Human resources was nothing more than informational about Insurances benefits. I will scan it and put in the file and then shred it on Monday. I worried for nothing.
I heard from Jim yesterday. He asked if I could be at his house by noon for our post-thanksgiving holiday so that means I will be leaving early that day to get there. I think I may have promised to bake something. I need to make it easy. I will think about it.
I have heard from Mama R. She says Miriam is safe but could see the fire from her window. The wedding Venue is also safe. Thank goodness for that. WE talked more about the election and the process that has to be done now.
My plans for the rest of the day are to clean the house and get the closet done. I hope I can get some of this done before I get lazy again.
This week should be a normal week.
