Day 18
I did some stepping today around the quilting tables at church. Every Tuesday morning, our quilting group meets to make quilts for Lutheran World Relief. This is a tradition that’s been going on for as long as our oldest members can remember. We use mostly donated fabric, old sheets, curtains, matress covers. We measure, cut, […]

Day 17
I had an appointment with a new doctor today. I had been told that his office was on the second floor, so when I stepped into the office building, I immediately started looking for the stairs. I thought I would get in some extra steps without really trying. On my left was a big office, […]

Day 16
Today I had the best experience an author can have. I went to GEVA to see “I’ll be Geneseeing You” and saw my books for sale in the lobby giftshop. I didn’t know they were there, and it was quite an unexpected thrill. The show, a spoof of Rochester by The Second City, was really […]

Day 15
THIS is why I need to walk 11,000 steps a day. If you are what you eat, then I’m a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream and whipped cream and a cherry. I got hooked on them when I was a college student working at Friendly’s, and I hate to tell you […]

Day 14
I managed to just make my 11,000 steps today without going to the gym. All it took was dusting, vacuuming, mopping, changing the sheets, cleaning the bathrooms, doing laundry and going grocery shopping. It would have been easier to use the treadmill for 45 minutes. Day 14: 11,001 Steps YTD: 115,346 Steps Goal: 132,000 Steps

Day 11
I spent some time walking the halls of Strong Hospital today. What a place! The minute you step into the lobby, you are greeted with the smell of flavored coffee and the sound of piano music. And people – people coming and going, sitting and standing, talking and laughing. I’ve been trying to think of […]
