I enjoy Long Walks-On a Highway

I had a pretty full weekend at the end of which was a nice evening spent with Mike. The past couple of days were unseasonably warm and sunny. Quite beautiful. I went over to his place in the afternoon. It was so beautiful out that we went outside to play. **** and his housemate Chris kicked a soccer ball around while I played on a tree swing. The beautiful warm day turned into a beautiful warm, clear night and we went for a walk. Of course he gave me a choice, a short one or a long one. We took the long one which meant a stretch along a highway. The conversation was so interesting that I really paid little attention to our surroundings...until this morning.

South Carolina is notorious for not being pedestrian friendly. At one point, before we got to the stretch of highway, we were approached by a woman driving very slowly. She wanted to know who owned the property because she and her husband has just "busted up" and she was looking for another place to live...this led into a conversation about divorce, pre-nups, marriage, children, work ethic, finances after she drove away...While we were talking with her a car started approaching from the opposite direction moving way above the speed limit and the driver didn't slow down at all as they passed us. Looks of shock all around, wishes of good luck, be safe, have a nice night and off she went. So, despite head lights set at high beam, speeding cars that didn't slow down, and an uneven roadside...it was a nice walk and talk.

I discovered that microwavable dinners are pretty yummy!!!
