Hi all,
There were 8 women today and 3 K9 companions that joined together for the Sunday hike. Effie, Jacque, Lisa, Jenny, Carolyn, Debbie, guest Maria, and Marsha were joined by Junko, Sheba and Patchy, who is visiting at Camp Grandma this week.
The weather was perfect with beautiful sunny skies. We were treated to a Great Blue Heron on the greenbelt where there was some water at Sculptured Falls. The dogs were excited to be able to run through the Creek bed as well as the hills, hopefully far away from the coyotes.
However, there was some alarm when we realize that we were not keeping up with the great TOWN tradition of eating after an event. To ensure that we kept up our reputation I skipped church today and we had a potluck brunch afterwards. I must say that the pressure was on us to keep up the heralded levels of perfection that is a Hallmark of TOWNIES.
To ensure that no TOWNIE is left without nourishment, Joan and Kim joined us at the brunch and were in charge of heating up the food.
Kim was able to return for the brunch after her neck surgery and hopefully she can join us on the trails next week. Knowing that a feast was to come we hiked 5.35 miles today in near perfect conditions. Most importantly we felt that we had carried on the town tradition of excellent meal after an event. We realize that we have been amiss and we’ll be looking at ways in the future to improve our lack of responsibility.
Until next time….
Happy Trails, Marsha
