walking etc...

I walked 4.50 miles downtown this morning. It was sunny but chilly windy. I almost talked myself out of it but once I got started it was fine. I wore my new walking pants and top along with my silk cami underneath. Good investment! Later, I picked up Dr. Pepper, orange push pops ( I'm addicted to these since this past summer) and Halloween stickers as I'm scheduled to sub in kindergarten for the next two days. When I got home I decided to make a big pot of Cowboy Soup. Here's the recipe if you want:

Cowboy Soup
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can whole corn ( I drained)
I can Ranch-style beans (whatever these are, I used red beans)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
2 med to large potatoes, chunked up
1 can beef broth
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

In a large pot, combine beef and onion, Fry and drain. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, beef broth. Stir in one cup of water, salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 hours and serve. The recipe says that it freezes well for up to 3 months. I have never tried it.

I've taken a break from blogging but I've still managed to keep busy. I've been:

• Reading. Today I read the best book by Eric Carle called Flora and Tiger. It's a collection of stories about his life. Read it. Even if you're not a little kid, you will enjoy it.
• Subbing.
• Walking. This week I've walked about eighteen miles.
• Shopping. But not for jewelry!
• Being thankful for everything God had given me.
