Weekly Walk #2

This week we walked mid-week instead of during the weekend. Since my in-laws are in Florida (shout out to Genny and Wendell!), Rob has been meeting me at their house on Wednesday night and staying with Fox and Ben while Ethan and I are at the gym. Our theme this time was a walk down memory lane, as we went over to Leach Rd. where Rob and I lived when we were first married.



The boys came with us on this venture and as you can see it was a muddy one. Of course they didn't have a problem with it and delighted in slopping around and throwing rocks and sticks at things while Rob stopped to talk with Mrs. Gromer, an old neighbor who is still there amongst all the industrial businesses that have taken over the street.


We showed them gramma's old house where we lived. It has definately seen better days. When I was pregnant with Alex we walked this street many times and at the dead end there was railroad tracks and fields so we would walk the tracks and talk about the new baby. Well, the tracks are gone making way for the "rails to trails" project and it is now part of the Clinton River Trail. The dead end is gone and it opens up to the well traveled Adams Rd. complete with shopping mecca.





We reached the end of the street just about the time most businesses were letting out of work and who did we run into? Cousin Jeff! Even though it rained most of the morning it had stopped for a few hours and just as we got back to the house it started to rain again. Now that's what I call perfect timing!



See you on the next walk,
who knows what the weather

in Michigan will be by then!
