Walk Routine

There are some locations that Josie just doesn't feel comfortable riding her bike just yet. One of those is around town where there is lots of traffic next to the bike lanes and I guess I understand that. So, instead of riding her bike to the stores, she gets exercise by walking. Yesterday, we both walked to the Sports Authority store at the edge of town to look for some casual shoes for me ( no luck) and that was about a 2.5 mile round trip walk for us. Josie followed that with another 2 mile round trip walk to Albertsons grocery store to buy lunch for us before going to work. With the temperature hitting 90 degrees yesterday, it was a bit warm but made for some great exercise.

We are in the calm before the storm at work as we approach the 4th of July weekend. The lodge is sold out for the weekend which also includes the Wyoming Gun Show that is held here each year. There is hardly a room available anywhere in town for the weekend and, believe it or not, some people still travel the holiday weekend without reservations. We feel sorry for some of those people since kids are involved and it's a shame that they have to waste so much time locating accommodations at the last minute. It's the same story every year.

One more day - today - and we get to enjoy a couple days off. Tomorrow will be taken up with the 4th celebration and we will kick that off with the pancake breakfast in town that precedes the parade. We will go early so that we get a good spot to watch the parade. It doesn't seem like it's been a year since we watched the parade on the 4th last year. We are hoping for the weather to continue clear and maybe even cool down a bit for the festivities...
