Test post

I know it has been FOREVER since I last posted.

I post my walking to Facebook but I would like to post to my blog as well.
So here is the link to my walk today (that I should not have gone on).

Father's Day

Hi everyone.

I am not sure why but I am much more emotional on Father's Day this year than in previous years.  I was reading a lot of nice, touching, poeteic tributes to fathes today on FB.  Then my friend posted this update:

Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing Dad's out there...and EXTRA warm wishes to those for whom this is a tough day. xo

And then I saw the Google logo for today:

And I lost it.  Traci asked why are you crying? I miss my dad, I told her.  I'm sorry she said.  Then Trina gave me a kiss.

The girls made Gerry's favourite type of cake for him.  He appreciated it.  :))

Gerry and I had a great trip to Boston this weekend for the Stanley Cup parade.  Pictures and more details to follow.  It was a trial run for our 2 week trip in July to South Carolina and Kentucky.

Toodles!

Anyone want to join a walking club in Hamilton????

So far it is a club of one. :)  I cannot find another one in Hamilton that meets more than once/week except for the one that walks Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings when I am at church. Not an option.

My friend, A, has inspired me.  I cannot run half marathon run like she did but I CAN walk!  My first goal is to get up to 5kms at once!   Right now my limit is about 1.5-2 kms.  I chose 5 kms because it is a nice round number and because it is approximately how far it is on the Hamilton (accessible I have been told) walking trails to get to the new pedestrian bridge over the highway and to the beach on the other side!  The beach!!  I can bus it home from there.  How about the out-there dream of being able to walk both ways??!!!


A walking club would be great because I could meet more people. I want to walk more, get out, increase my fitness and endurance, meet some new friends and maybe lose some weight too! Tell your friends! Message me or comment if you are interested.  I live a VERY sheltered life right now and that is not pleasing to God.  I am certainly being a light on a hill.  I am hidden right now, being selfish and not getting out and about and sharing God's love.


Matthew 5:14

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

That is going to change.  I am going to change.

Visitor from Toronto!

My aunt came to visit me from Toronto on Tuesday and she treated me to lunch.  We had a good time! She got stuck in BAD traffic on the QEW so we had less time together that we thought we would have.  She dropped me off downtown on her way out of the city and I walked King/Bay to Main/Wellington 1.4 kms.

PS Wasn't that a brutal hockey game on Monday night??!!  I hope Vancouver got all of that out of their system.
