10-14-17  walk for breast cancer walk for the cure:

I have to give the apartment management credit for coming up with activities to try and bring the residents together.  They've had a polar plunge, a movie night by the pool, a paw party for dogs and their owners, taco night, and I'm sure I'm missing a few more.  usually we're gone when they have them.  But we did make it to the taco night a week or so ago (where I met a gal who loves volleyball as much as I do.  We even met one night and peppered a bit, but that seems to be as far as that's gone.)  This morning I was up in time to do the Breast Cancer walk for the Cure.  In fact, i arrived about 8:59 (suppose to start at 9) and only 1 other person was there.  We sat and visited and wondered if we had the wrong meeting place, then Carol and her husband arrived (the office manager).  They even brought a ton of snacks!

 fitness waters, granola bars, fruit, and even cinnamon rolls for those who aren't there for fitness. 

We waited around a bit and a few more office workers and a couple more residents showed up. 

 Then we headed off on our walk.  Some of them didn't go as far as the rest of us, but there are lots of benches along the way.

 after about a 3 mile walk, we were back at the overlook.   Visited a bit more, then I went back to our apartment. 

 Had to get ready to head over to Angie and Josh's for our 12 noon Saturday social.  Jeff and Julia were coming up from S. of Atlanta.  It was nice seeing them.  We had snacks and played Mexican train and caught up on their goings on.

It was a different, but fun day.  It was nice having people to visit with along my walk.  It was also nice meeting with family and friends, too.  Too bad Jeff and Julia moved so far away.
