I have had a busy and eventful day.
I now have what I suspect is my first EVER case of poison ivy.  I have stood in it (accidentally) and nary a blister or an itch.  But I think my run is over. 

I had a lovely day at Pride.  I marched in the parade and perused the stalls with friends.  I bought a hat.  We lost a kid, found her, lost another, found him too, and then lost two together.  We found them too.  It was lovely and hot. 

I picked berries from my raspberry patches.  I LOVE my raspberries.  I thought they were done forever when my brother cut them down last year JUST BEFORE HARVEST TIME!!!  But they are bearing well this year.  And a little early. Yum! 

Last night I did not think I would be able to go to Pride or walk in the parade because my knees and hips hurt and walking was just painful.  But after completing my resentment list for my fourth step I woke up this morning feeling ok.  Interesting, isn't it? 
There is much, much more to a fourth step and if I leave it at the resentment list things will go south quickly.  But I won't. 

And the dogs had a walk!  I was not sure that would happen after taking the bus into town and walking in the parade and walking up and down Liberty Ave. to see all the stalls.  But I got home and relaxed for a bit and I was ready to walk my girls. 
Sunshine has a mission on her walks:  to meet and greet as many children as she possibly can and to stealth kiss them!  Why oh why do they always forget she is going to kiss them?  She looks for them if she can't see them.  she knows what houses they live in!
