The weekends are times for us to get out and about, both near and far. A few miles down the road from us is Veterans' Park. It's only small, but we thought we'd check out the trail there even though we knew it was only a couple of miles. Better a few miles on wheels, than an afternoon on the settee!
The sky was rather grey, but the birds were chirping, the trees surrounded us and the fresh air filled my lungs as we pedalled the trail. On our way, we heard a very strange noise and stopped to listen. A passer by informed us it was frogs and there were rather a lot of them hidden in the grass edge of a trickle of a stream.
Our cycle was only about seven miles, but it was great to be out on the bike.
In the evening, following a trip to Lidl, to squeeze in our shopping, we dropped into Carolina Ale House - a sports bar with reasonable food and a good atmosphere.
Our Sunday adventure consisted of a rainy morning trying to find a breakfast stop in Midtown Charlotte. Unfortunately, everyone in Charlotte had the same idea and we were at the end of the queue! We ended up in Harris Teeter instead, having a Starbucks and a muffin. Following this, we parked up outside the venue for the ice hockey. We had tickets for the minor league Charlotte Checkers. It was a fun game, unfortunately they lost, but it was entertaining to watch.
I Voted in Today's U.S. General Election on November 8, 2022 at Veterans Park in Long Beach, CA, before going to work! I have never missed an Election ever since I turned 18 and earned my right to vote. I hope you also voted. It is our Civil Duty and Privilege here in the U.S.A., and I am thankful to do my part and get my voice heard. God Bless America! Have a Thankful Election Tuesday! πΊπΈππ»ββοΈπ³π·β€οΈπ #longbeach #California #veteranspark #vote #womanvoter #ivoted #generalelection #selfportrait #tripodselfie #longbeachgrammers #visitlb @visitlb #longbeachstuff #losangelesgrammers #thelacounty #raw_worldnews #raw_people #raw_vip_gold #bestofthe_usa #yes_busa #todayscalifornia @todayscalifornia #theonlycalifornia #bestofthegoldenstate #socalcollective #futurewomenphotography #nbcla @nbcla #abc7eyewitness @abc7community @abc7la #cbsla @cbsla #ktla5community @ktla5news #nikoncreators #nikonnofilter @nikonusa (at Veterans Park Hall, Long Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cktd7lRPf51/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ππSpend a few minutes to pause and focus your gratitude to our warriors, loves and heros of the past. Verbalize if necessary - let us heal those noble spirits that need and deserve our attention! ππ½ππΏπβοΈππ¦ 'Einherjar' is an Old Norse word that identified warriors selfless enough, godlike enough in their lack of needs for comfort, if they lived and died bravely their experience after this life will be a heightened existence with Odin. ππ½ππΏπβοΈππ¦ Sometimes Einherjar souls' needs our attention, even those living as they have chosen to get through this world without attaining dependance or bad "karma". Warriors avoid using and hurting loved ones in order to survive. They rely on themselves, and so sometimes their lives are in pieces. π₯β‘π½ππ¦ππ·ππ ππ½β¨I am still trying to rebuild all my jewelry & art that was stolen when I was assaulted & robbed. I am looking for a quality SPIRITUAL STORE or ART GALLERY to sell my jewelry. I am a rare, tireless entertainer, salesperson and psychic. I have huge social media reach and can work day and night continuously! I don't even need to eat, but there's one thing I won't do and that's be complacent! If you would like to make a connection happen contact me. If it works out I will pay you! . . . . #einherjarday #veteransday #armisticeday #fallenheros #veterans #momentofsilence . .#happyveteransday #einherjar #veteranownedbusiness #supportourveterans #veteranmade #veteranspark .#harrypotter #spiritualart #runes #paganism #pagan #wicca #channeling #heathen #celtic #witchy #stonehenge #vikings #odin #mythology #heathen #pagans #norse #germanic β view on Instagram https://ift.tt/rpOu06J
