We had a good walk with nature this morning. We saw Suzie, the nutria. Suzie was up on the bank and then went into the water. It looks like she has been eating well, even though we have not seen her in a while. There were some birds along the trail today. We saw mallard ducks, a muscovy duck, a wood stork, a roseate spoonbill, an anahinga, and a couple of moorhens. We did not see Al, the alligator, this morning.

Marie and Julie kept their Perfect Attendance record and were awarded recognition pins for attending all 19 weeks of Nameless Walking Group's Brandon Parkway Saturday Walks. Way to go, Julie and Marie!

Betty the Banker, a cow bank, was introduced to the group. Betty is replacing the Little Green Pig as the Group's donation repository. We have out grown the Little Green Pig, so we upgraded to Betty. Mary M. is in charge of keeping Betty. Mary M. will also transfer the funds from The Little Green Pig to Betty.

As for group news - Val and Keith were back at the WW meeting, today. We were so glad to see them. They are planning to walk next week. Faith was busy after the WW meeting today, so she was unable to walk. She should be with us next week. Pam had a great weight loss this week. She is training for the 3 Day Susan G.
