The Walk

It was all we hoped for and more. We reached our personal goals and we reached our team goal. We headed out with a spring in our step and an umbrella in our hand, determined to go the distance and exhilarated because the friends and family that we asked for help had come through for us; and from the bottom of my heart, I can honestly say nothing feels better than that.

Beth was there along with fellow bloggers and dear friends:

Her sister was there:

And her husband:

And of course her kids:


Anna started out with the most spring in her step:

But she eventually succumbed to the temptation of a little help:

There were even some old people there:

I didn't recognize them but I give them a lot of credit for doing the whole walk. I KNOW it wasn't easy.

All in all it was a wonderful day! Thank you to everyone who helped and everyone who wished us well. You kept the rain away.

  1. It was a wonderful day and I was proud to be a part of it. I especially loved spending time with you and Rhonda. I can't wait for the Jack Club to start.

  6. I felt like I was back at the walk. I can tell you do have a love for photography. It was such a great, rewarding morning. I found that you are never too old to meet new friends and I feel so blessed to have met your family. And you and hubby are NOT old! I am so proud of us for making the 6 miles and not having to scrape anyone up off the pavement.
