Organized Walk Against Domestic Violence

     Team "Sisters," yay us! Annie came up on Saturday to walk with me for this very good cause and we had a great time.  hardly noticed the rain.(Yeah, right), but Kenny made sure we had umbrellas, so we didn't get too soaked. Except for our feet, which were pretty soggy.

     We stopped for a bagel on the way up to Newburyport.  Little did we know there would be tables full of bagels, donuts and coffee, water, and energy bars.

     The walk began under an arch of yellow and orange balloons with an eight cheerleader send-off, and continued along the bike path which had wonderful sculptures along the way. I would have taken pictures of them, but I was afraid to drop my iPhone, since I had to hold onto my umbrella! Once off the trail, we turned onto High St., where motorists leaned on their horns for us. It was great! Halfway through, some band members from the High School were playing for us - no umbrellas! They were awesome! It never felt like work. It only felt wet. When we got to the finish, there were the cheerleaders, cheering us in. That was SO great!

     It's raining even harder today, so I guess things could have been worse. One reason I didn't mind the rain so much was that I knew my daughter and her friends were out in it for a full marathon! Great job Sue and Carrie!

Here we are showing off our new North Face jackets!  We couldn't help ourselves, they called to us. Oh, and we had to have new walking shoes, too. They had a voice all their own! I didn't think to take a picture of those. Damn!

     Ahh... Coffee! Yes, Annie lives for it. She's wearing the cool shirt she got for walking the walk!



     Now, we're looking for a walk in Rhode Island. We'll meet, walk, eat and go home.
