Day 99

I was sooooo tempted to cheat when posting yesterday’s steps. I was sooooo close to 11,000 but didn’t quite make it. You would have thought that I would just walk around the living room a few times to get the last 268 steps in, but at 11:30 pm that was just 267 steps too many. […]

Day 97 South Wedge

I spent some time with my cousin, Carol, today stepping around the South Wedge. The sun was out, and it was a perfect day for wandering. The South Wedge is full of many small businesses. These are some of the places we stopped. Mise en Place, on the corner of South Ave. and Gregory St., […]

Day 94

Today was a challenge. By 8:00 A.M. I was already on to plan B. Plan A was to walk outside in my neighborhood, but at 8 o’clock it was 44 degrees and rainy, so I forced myself to go to the gym (plan B). When I got there a seagull flew up to greet me. […]

Day 93

It’s great to see all the tulip and daffodil bulbs poking out of the ground, but I’m anxious for the flowers and not just the stems so I had to pick up this bouquet of tulips when I went to Wegmans today. Hurry up spring!

Day 92

April bridges Wilderness and Promised Land. Cross slowly. Anticipation is the better part of journey. Day 91: 12,855 Steps    […]
