Oh, yes, I love to walk. Last night I got a good one. I went with a friend to the Ghost Walk on Union Avenue. Well, it was really not Union Avenue as we started at the Museum and proceeded to the River Walk and then crossed Union to Victoria and down Victoria to the train station and the Heritage Center. Made 10 stops for reenactments. That is the part that got me. See, I can walk for miles at a brisk pace, but when I do the meandering thing and the stopping and standing, I am shot. Not good.
The Ghost Walk is put on every year at this time and is sponsored by the Domestic Violence Community Task Force which is compromised of Community Representatives and headed up by the YWCA Family Crisis Shelter.
For more info go visit the link I made for you. Hope it works and it usually does. Google is so good! click here to visit thier web site.
This was my first time going on this walk, because I am normally not a person who does anything after dark. See I knew this started at 5:30 and I was sure I would be home before dark, but alas, such was not to be. So I called the current SWM and told him I would pick him up. Course he was all eager and what man in his right mind would not be? So, we embarked on our journey and it got dark and then darker and I began to get antsy. Finally it was over and all I wanted to do was go home. Now he wanted to go get a root beer float. I told him I had to get home and shut up the geese so the fox would not eat them. Know what he said? "I have seen them geese and a fox would have to be friggin' nuts to go in that pen! I would not go in that pen! God himself would not go in that pen!" But I left him standing on the curb shaking his head and I rushed home to my babies. Poor guy. LOL
I have decided that if my current volunteer work comes to an end, which I strongly suspect it will, that I will go work with the YWCA and the Family Crisis Center. Maybe ACOVA as well. Guess I could stay home and clean house........or not. That is women's work.
Ok, got a ton of stuff to do today. Have to go pack up and pick up a load of stuff for the scholarship fund and bring it home. And since the kids are moving on Monday I need to fill some boxes with stuff they will need, like silverware, blankets, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, dishes, and cooking oil. They love grease.
So I am whoooooshing on out of here! Have a good one.
