So, yesterday, after a wasted few hours at the Topsfield Fair, Kenny and I decided to walk around Lake Quannapowitt and when we got there, we noticed some people walking around with some GREAT lilac & yellow T's. All I could think was, HOW DID I MISS THIS WALK?? It was the walk for Down Syndrome and I missed it! The shirts were gorgeous and the crowd was still hanging around, eating their snacks. Never again, I thought. I'll live on-line if I have to.So, today I went over to the lake to do my seven miles. WHAT?? Another road race?? Yes, indeed. The Harrington Pub road race. The gun went off just as I came around the corner. Oh, man! Lime green T-shirts!
When I got home I shared an apple cider donut with Kenny, and we took off for a bike ride into Salem - the ONLY way to travel to Salem during the month of October. The sights are a feast for the eyes. The only thing we didn't see was a pumpkin costume. Even the pets were dressed up. Actually, it wasn't so much the costumes as it was the make-up; the heavy eyeliner, fake lashes, white lipstick and face tattoos. We just sat in the sun and watched.
Looking forward to whatever next week brings.
