Day 323

I’ve found a new way to get steps, and that’s by carrying around my new grandson. At eight pounds, he’s still light enough for me to carry easily, and it might be my imagination, but when we’re walking around together, he’s looking right into my eyes. At 2 weeks old, I’m thinking he knows his […]

Day 322

As the year winds down, I find myself looking at my pedometer less and less. Some days I don’t check it until I take it off at night. In January I was checking it every 5 minutes, but now some walking patterns have become ingrained in me, and I can tell without looking at the […]

Day 317

My steps today took me to the Greece Historical Society and Museum on Long Pond Rd. The Society is located in a restored 1850’s farmhouse with an addition on the back for the museum. This house is a place where you immediately feel at home once you step inside. It’s comfortably decorated – not fussy, […]

Day 316

Spent the whole day at the Bethlehem fall bazaar. It was a day full of warm fuzzies. Great baked goods, delicious homemade soup, and beautiful crafts. I reconnected with some old friends and met some new friends. And I might have even sold more things than I bought. That doesn’t happen very often. Suzanne Valentine […]
