Hubby has to take a walk 5 days a week now. I’m to accompany him. His reaction was so funny. I have to walk!?

First walk was around Acme. Admission $130. The woods will be cheaper.

Sunshine after days of rain.

Planting flowers and choosing hanging baskets.

Cheryl tried a vegetarian reuben. I admire her spirit of adventure.

I loved my pulled pork smothered in sweet potato fries.
