Ward Avenue

Can you believe it - another late posting!  Come back Tom, all is forgiven.  However, not a bad turnout for a holiday weekend and a new route.  There were eighteen of us, splitting into 2 groups - those with dogs going south and the rest going north.  The morning was warm (57°) but overcast.  The sun did tease us a couple of times, but after seeing all our smiling faces decided we were happy enough and went elsewhere to add some cheer.

The 18 runners/walkers were, Charlene, Fran, Gay, Geri, Greg, Ginny, Gordon, Henry, Joe, John, Mark, Nancy t, Peter, Roger, Ron, Shari, Suzanne and Terry.  Did you notice that these are in alpha order?  When I have to write the blog, I print a list of all the fogdodgers names (as an aide mémoir) checking off those that are there, and it happens to be in alpha order.

It was good to see Toni, who joined us for breakfast.  Her recovery is going slower than she was expecting - but the important thing is it's getting better.  Just keep doing those exercises and DON'T overdo it!

As always, John provided the photos, including some he took when he visited Nancy and I working on the model railroad in the barn behind the Skunk Depot.  This gives me a segway to abuse my position as blogger this week, and give a plug for our soon to open model railroad.  We are planning to open on June 15th and a flyer can be downloaded here, and the website (which has lots of info on the history of logging in Mendocino) can be found here.
