I did it! I walked 5K and still managed to function more or less for the rest of the day!

I called Barron's about renting glasses and tablecloths and found out they close at noon on Saturday and aren't open at all on Sunday! Not sure we could be back by there before noon, we stopped on our way to the MS Walk. Charlie (Junior) was there and we chatted with him briefly about his parents, who were our neighbors on Glenwood Drive. We rented 150 glasses for .50 each and 3 big white tablecloths. Depending on what kind of disposable glasses you buy, it may be cheaper to rent them. It's certainly better for the environment, and you can return them dirty!

We still got to the walk in time to register (after standing in line). It was sunny but cool, perfect for walking. There were lots of people and dogs and I was a big claustrophobic at first, but enjoyed talking to John and others. Halfway through the second time around, I rested for a bit and got behind. When I went by the pavilion the second time, Heather said to me, "only one more time around." I kept going, but didn't see many other people. My cell phone rang. It was Ray. He said, "where are you?" I described where I was and he said he couldn't see me. I said, "where are you?" He said, "we're finished." I said "3 times around?" He said, "it's only twice." So, I turned around and headed back, not sure if it was quicker to keep going or go back. So, maybe I walked 7K instead of 5K! We had some orange slices and waited for the pizza to arrive. The UU group was about 15 people and Catherine and her family were very pleased. Wouldn't it be amazing if they discovered a cure?

We went home and admired the garden. Sylvia, the hen, is broody, I believe. She has stopped laying eggs and won't leave the nesting box, hoping to hatch something, I guess. I keep picking her up and making her leave the coop, but she ends up back there as soon as she has a chance. The book I read says if she doesn't get over it, I should "cull" her. Meaning get rid of her. But I don't think that's going to happen, at least not soon. Three laying hens is about perfect. I don't think many more would fit in that coop.

There are some tiny peaches on the peach trees, and green strawberries. Bok choy and lettuce could be harvested small. The first asparagus shoots have been harvested. Most other things are just getting going, but they like the combination of lots of rain and sunshine.

My parents arrived and worked in the garden in the sun. It didn't quite make it up to 70 degrees. We had a little drink and snack. I made spaghetti sauce and the fourth batch of mini-quiches. Now I have almost 200 in the freezer.

Watched some TV, went to bed just after 9.
