Morning Walk to Work

 

Since I live about 3/4 of a mile from work, some times I walk.  I know, I know I should walk every day but sometimes I rather sleep another 20 minutes.  Also, it is up hill both ways.    But when I do walk, I try to enjoy the view!  This picture is taken on the LHU campus behind Robinson Hall. 

Morning Walk

Sorry Folgers,

Rain drops on the tree canopy, and dog nails clicking on the road,

Are all I need to start my day. 

Farmers Markets

I love our local farmers market.  It gives me a good reason to wake up a little early on a Saturday morning. These flowers were only $3.50!  What a deal!  Now they are sitting in my office. They brighten my day in the morning when I come into the office. 

Tea Time!

I like to take a little work break in the morning and have some tea. My favorite is just plan jane earl grey. I have tried a lot of different tea but black is my favorite. Sometimes I drink green tea because it hear that it is good for you.

For Christmas I got A LOT of tea from George's family.  I think my personal stash is stocked up for a long time now!  I think my tea obsession started when I studied abroad in England with my friend Laurie.  We drank tea with every meal.  Now when we travel together I think we do the same!  What is your favorite type of tea? 

Lock Haven YMCA

George and I joined the YMCA for three months!  So far we have actually been going.  We been using the machines in the cool air conditioning.  It is a lot nicer in there then outside in the hot humid weather!

My new favorite thing is Zumba!  Zumba is basically latin dance exercise class.  So far I have been doing it for about a month and loved it. Has anyone else tried Zumba??

Steps

Today I walked 7355 steps so far. That is about 3.5 miles. Go me!

Walk to work

Today I walked to work. It is about 10 minutes each way, and since I walked home for lunch it was 40 minutes all together. When I look at these stairs it reminds me of the mice caring up the key to the top of the stairs for free Cinderella. It almost makes you feel dizzy.

It is a beautiful walk though. Today was a nice summer day. The sky was blue with fluffy white clouds. The trees and grass are a lush green. The temperature was prefect with a little breeze.

Cardboard Boat Race

I decided that I wanted to try it this year so we got a team together and put in our 5 registration fee. These are the people in our crew. Team Kamikaze team #19

(Emmy, Me, Mike, Lai, George and Matt)

We had a little trouble getting Emmy started out since we all gave her a push which made her fall into the water. But we got her back in and off.
