The walking trail to nowhere!

Candee wanted to vary our routine tonight so we went to a nearby development to walk. It's a planned community with ponds, walking trails, a pool, community center, etc.

It's not completed yet and boy were we surprised when we started to walk on the walking trail and it would just suddenly end. That happened several times so we ended up mostly walking on the street or sidewalks. The funny thing was that the walking trails are right up to the edge of people's yards and I guess it would be a little awkward to be relaxing outside and have strangers casually walk by.

We ended up walking for almost 50 minutes and were lucky enough to finish before a big downpour of rain.

The "check my apples" walk

I guess you could say that I "adopted" this apple tree a couple of months ago. It has been fun to watch it's progress and I'm proud to say that the apples on this tree are MUCH bigger than the apples on any other tree that we've seen.

We also had fun watching the baby calf frolicking in the field. It's great to see how much it changes over short periods of time. It was a beautiful day for a walk, even though neither Candee, nor I were very motivated tonight.

The buffalo loop backwards walk

Another beautiful day in the country. The apples are starting to get big and the trees are just loaded with the delicious fruit. We have a great time checking out the progress as we do our walks.

Today we did the loop backwards. You wouldn't think so, but it just didn't feel right. We definitely like going the other way and I doubt we'll ever do it backwards again!

Buffalo Loop

Today we got a fairly early start and walked the buffalo loop for an hour. It was hot and muggy but we had a great time...like usual!

The mall walk

We got a late start and it wasn't looking so great outside, so Candee and I walked in the mall for about 40 minutes...I guess you could say it's better than nothing!

Finally walking again!

After a lot of long days and stressful events, I was able to get back to walking with Candee again. It was nice to see her and talk to her after many days of not being able to do that. We walked the Buffalo loop for about an hour.

The Flip Flop At The End of the Walk

Dear Phil,

I still wasn't feeling that great today, and Candee lured me into walking by dangling a trip to Old Navy afterward to buy $1.00 flip flops. How could I refuse an offer like that?

We were going to do the Buffalo Loop, but they were spraying pesticides in the fields and the smell was a bit overwhelming. Since we were heading towards Hagerstown for Old Navy, we decided to walk on the C&O Canal in Williamsport.

We passed through a few rain showers on the way, but we ended up having no rain during our walk and it was very nice. A lot of people were walking or riding bikes today and it wasn't the nice quiet walk we have become accustomed to. Nevertheless, we had a great walk and were there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. It seems like the time always flies by when we're walking and talking.

I can't say we were so lucky with Old Navy however. When we arrived, the lines of people trying to check out with purchases wound up and down the aisles throughout the store. One woman said she had already been in line for an hour and 15 minutes. We decided we didn't need $1.00 flip flops that bad and just went home.

So, no $1.00 flip flops after all...boy, Candee is awfully sneaky sometimes!
