Well, it is raining and I still have to walk. Dan with his lame foot decides he will keep me company for the four mile walk. He has only been coming with me on the short walks because the bottom of his foot is swollen and sore. He finally sees the doctor tonight. I may lose one of my walking partners after tonight.

Finally, we put on our shoes and jacket and head out. It is just sprinkling at this time. We walk in in the subdivision across the street from our house. It has some good routes with hills and flat areas (sometimes it feels like mostly hills). We take this time to catch up on our days and maybe think about what we might want to make for dinner. As we walk, Dan is always looking for deer or wild turkeys. Tonight, in the one place we usually see the turkeys, they were not there. Dan makes a comment about them not being there, my comment back to him was: "They are smarter than us and took cover in the rain." At this time, we were getting a little goofy and decided to sing, "We're Singing in the Rain." Good thing nobody was out, they wouldn't want to hear us sing. We are coming to the end of the walk, now the rain is coming down harder; we can see it in the headlights from the cars that pass. A few times we were able to get some shelter from the trees overhead. By the time we arrived home, we were wet, but having fun.
