Weekend in Monterey

1 and 1/2 year ago I left AdvantaCare and started a new job that allowed me to work from 1:30pm to 10pm. The provided me with a lot of time for walking Revel a commitment that has been extremely beneficial to both of us. It wasn't long after making that commitment that I realized we were walking distances that my feet could not do in tennis shoes. I needed more support and Dorothy (who knows shoes better than many) recommended Merrill hiking shoes. I purchased this pair of Merril Moab's and now approximately 1200 miles later ( we do about 25 miles a week) they are not cutting it any longer. The bottoms have held up very well but the insides are warn out badly. So being as happy as I was I ordered a new pair the only change I made was the color the new ones are Navy and Grey. Today we did the diabetes walk no great distance but we stretched the entire walk to about 6.5 miles and they were as comfortable as I remember the previous pair being when they were new.

Today we took the dogs, and Nathon and hiked the Juvenile Diabetes walk from Lovers Point to the Aquarium. Not a long distance, so we started at Mom's house and walked the "Long way" to Lovers point and back. It wasn't the most beautiful day but despite the huge number of people

 both dogs did great. Edward and Oma joined us at the start but then drove home for some quiet time. Revel

 attracted his usual amount of attention from many of

 the children and some adults. Libby showed off her better social skills with other dogs as she

 plays with all other dogs (Revel is more particular who he will associate with). I

 think 

everyone had a good time and got lots of fresh air. 

We are looking forward to our first trip to our new timeshare on the weekend of November 8-10th to Napa. We will be staying in the city of Winslow and having lunch on the Napa Valley Wine train. More on that when we get back.
