It was 87 degrees when we left on the walk at 3:00 PM, today. The afternoon group worked up a sweat getting to Route 60 and back, but we made it . We discussed what we will do in the middle of the summer. Mary is going to check on accurate distance calculations for walking at the Westfield Brandon Mall. Bonnie F. is really excited about leaving on Saturday for Hawaii. She will be back for the JDRF walk on April 19th. Bonnie and her husband are cruising around the Hawaiian Islands for 11 days. The evening group was fortunate that it was a few degrees cooler by then and cloudy. So cloudy that.it rained on the way back to the trail start. Boonie P. was protecting her camera under shirt, but did not pass up any Kodak moments, even if it was raining. Mary had the T-Shirts and gave them to Deborah to distribute for those walking on Saturday. To our surprise Bob joined us. Chris, his wife, is home and doing well. Bob needed a break from his nursing duties, so he came and walked with us. He and Gary carpooled. Gary got really wet, since he was the last to get back to the start. We thought we might have to send out a search party to look for him.We were all just standing around after the finish pictures, when a down pour came and sent us scrambling to get to our cars. The rain certainly added a little excitement to our walk.
