Some Free Time ...............

This week - due to a couple of chance circumstances - I only had to Babysit on Monday and Wednesday. I got all of my weekly errands done on Tuesday and that left a 4-day stretch of pretty nice weather for me.

I started out Thursday morning a little later then usual. I stopped at the Wawa's in Avenel and filled up (at $1.91). I drove through the nearby neighborhood and came up behind this guy.

He had headphones on and was bouncing a Basketball in the middle of the street. If you're going to be an idiot, you get what you deserve.

Point, press, Flash.

I made a right onto St. George and headed down to Shoprite. I saw this guy, out for a morning stroll.

There was no one else around but it was still too open an area.

Friday, I stopped at the Dunkin' Donuts in Woodbridge and got breakfast to go. I stopped at the Dollar Store near the Wegman's. I picked up some toothpaste and some soap. On the way out, I noticed this woman.

It was tempting but, again, it was just too open.

I drove down Woodbridge Center Drive and took Route 1 towards Menlo Park and the Barnes & Noble's there. Up ahead, I could see this guy.

We were the only ones around and it only took a minute for me to catch up to him.

Point, press, Flash.

I stopped at the book store. I go to browse the children's books for the "Lift the Flap" ones that my Granddaughter likes but didn't find anything new.

Saturday I drove up St. George's and took Inman to the Colonia FoodTown. Occasionally, they have stuffed peppers in their Deli area. It's a very quiet, peaceful drive. Along the way I came up on this guy.

It was such a nice day - my windows were open and the radio was on. I drove on by.

I didn't stay out very long. Woodbridge was having a Street Fair on Main Street. These draw big crowds, especially on nice days. That means that the parking around my apartment gets taken up quickly. I got lucky.

This morning was sunny but the wind was strong. I woke up early, so I was out early. I stopped at Shoprite first. I'm back to Babysitting tomorrow so I picked up some lunch meat and some pre-made dinners that will carry me through the next 4 days. I got breakfast to go from their in-store Dunkin' Donuts.

I drove up to Wegman's and picked up some French Onion soup. They have the best price.

I drove from there to Walmart and picked up a Febreze car air freshener. To me, these are the best and Walmart has the best price. On the way out, I saw this guy.

Again, it was another one of those "too open" situations.

It was starting to cloud over. I got on Ford's Avenue, then turned onto Woodbridge Avenue, which becomes Main Street.

 I saw this woman up ahead.

This wasn't too open at all.

Point, press, Flash.

I headed home. It's always nice to have some free time.
