Walk to Church

Hello, In spite of cold temperatures, Leroy and I are getting some steps. We walked upon rising. Outside was in the single digits. We did see one interesting thing. There was a stop sign which also held the street signs lying on the ground at one of the intersections. Back in the warm apartment, Leroy called the nonemergency number of the police. We could have set the sign back up, but the metal pole was cut off at the base. The snow revealed some tire tracks going past it. I wonder whose vehicle front is dented. Later we once again walked to church with those familiar single digits hanging around. It did not seem so cold, but that was probably the illusion of the sun. We were bundled so that no speck of skin showed. The guy walking four dogs ahead of us did not believe in wearing so many bulky items. The goggles even gave good wind protection. We also appreciate the sunglasses quality of them. Leroy bought his at a garage sale. Someone in the congregation here, gave a pair to me since they no longer used them to ski. It has been a blessing. When I had to wear glasses under them they were not so comfortable, now they are great. We did not attend worship, but came for the retirement/resigning of one of the staff. It felt good to participate and visit with her. We were there long enough to warm up before heading back out knowing that we would be walking into the wind much more. We chose our route carefully so we could zigzag and get some protection from houses from time to time. We are considering walking again this afternoon in the slightly warmer air to finish getting 10,000 steps. We did walk, I have 12,952 steps. For some reason Leroy has about a thousand less. Paula
