Back in the loop

The week went by like the blink of an eye. Brad and family were unable to join us, but we had a great time with Brian and Katy and their kids. I would highly recommend the Poconos for a family vacation......we didn't do half of what there is to do there. Would have liked to get to Bushkill Falls to do the trail walk there, but it didn't fit into the schedule.

I can't believe that it's August already!!!! In less than three weeks, Rich and I will be leaving from here to go to a wedding in NJ, then I'll drive with him to Ohio, and will fly to Chicago on the 26th. And then we're off on our great adventure!!!!

I took one really good walk that made me feel like maybe that might be what the Camino would be like.....through woods, on gravel and paving both, and with ups and downs. Wished that I'd had my poles with me to practice.

Sounds like everyone has kicked into high gear and I'm ready to join that group. Have decided that I am not going to weigh and measure, just make sure that I'm only taking what I think I need and what I can comfortably carry. I am one of those "ignorance is bliss" proponents. I took a bike ride this afternoon because it's so hot and I want to strengthen my leg muscles, so I pedalled for 1 1/2 miles straight....got a burn going! I'll head out to walk tomorrow...early.

There was sooo much to catch up to on the blog......I am so glad that we have our Tech Mama. Thank you for getting us going and keeping us tech savvy.
