Mile 298. Thursday, April 21st was a nice evening to walk up the hill from the office, accompanied by a thought by Russell Ballard ...
Cheerio!

And now for today's walking thought ...
"An outing with one child with either father or mother can provide a special spiritual and emotional bonding time. Calendar these in advance so children can anticipate and look forward to a special time alone with Mom or Dad."
The tortoise is smiling!
