Really looks awesome. I need to do that - thanks for the reminder! BTW - only a little bit of the lemon loaf left. I might hide it, lol!

Oh! You made it????!!!!

Oh! You made it????!!!!

I did make it! A couple of changes though... I forgot to add the vanilla. I didn't have lemon extract, so I used lemon zest I had in the freezer and I used butter in the icing instead of coconut oil. I'll make it again for sure!

My son and I have started a new habit. He just recently broke up with his long term girlfriend (he is 21, and its a long story. Lol)

When I was first separated during the divorce years ago, on my no kids weekends, I forced myself to go explore a park and take pictures at least once per month, regardless of the weather. Sometimes a spot close, sometimes a full weekend trip. It was a positive diversion.

We are now in month two of our journey to do this together. Yes, it was raining when we left home and two of our bucket list places are now under the governor's "masks 100% for everything" orders (county by county edict). So we drove to Beaver Creek State Park, the eastern part of the canal that ran through my hometown and has no restrictions, just distancing suggestions.

We ended up hiking about 5 miles or so along the river bank, after exploring the locks, grist mill, and buildings on the main public area of the park. When we arrived, we were the third car in the lot, the place was filling up when we left after about 3 hours.

All in all a great time. This old man was able to keep up the pace. Lolol. We have a goal to walk the local 11 mile rails to trails path before the end of August. Long term goal, Maryland Heights overlook at Harper's Ferry

Pictures were blah, nothing jumped out at me as I took them, my outlook may change when I sort through them.

That sounds like a great new habit!
