Mink Brook

 I've joined a women's walking group that gathers at different spots to hike/walk on Wednesday mornings. Yesterday since I didn't know where we were to meet, I carpooled with two of the members to Mink Brook.

The temperature was perfect 60º with low humidity.  I took these few photos.

This single log bridge was closed.  We crossed the brook downstream where stepping stones had been positioned for crossing. (no photo)

This was the second walk I've taken with the group. The first one I went on didn't require me to drive since it was up a road near my house.  I don't know where the destination will be next week.

End of Story

 No covid here!

Dan tested again Thursday night with result negative.

My fear of it starting with a headache on Wednesday was one of my migraines instead.

Of the four in the carpool only one got Covid and didn't pass it on.

Thank goodness!

On a Lighter Note

 NOTES TO GOD 

Oh...the age of innocence!
 

A Nun asked her class to write notes to God.

Here are some they wrote:
 
Dear God:
I didn't think orange went with purple 
until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. 
That was cool.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones,
 why don't You keep the ones You already have?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other
 if they had their own rooms. 
That's what my Mom did for me and my brother.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 I bet it is very hard to love everyone in the whole world.
 There are only 4 people in our family 
 and I'm having a hard time loving all of them.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Is it true my father won't get into heaven
 if he uses his bowling words in the house? 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:                      
 Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Who draws the lines around the countries?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"?
 Because if You did, then I'm going to get my brother good.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Thank You for the baby brother, but I think you got confused
 because what I prayed for was a puppy.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before.
 You can look it up.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big,
 but not with so much hair all over.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 I think about You sometimes, even when I'm not praying.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 Of all the people who worked for You,
 I like Noah and David the best.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 My brother told me about being born but it doesn't sound right.
 He is just kidding, isn't he?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear God:
 We read Thomas Edison made light. 
 But in Sunday school they said You did it. 
 So, I bet he stole Your idea.

 

Thanks to my friend Marilyn for sharing these with me.

Update

  Dan is still symptom free, day 4 after exposure. We have stayed clear of family nearby though granddaughter #2 got exposed at summer school on Monday and is home today with an ear ache. 

Me? I woke up with a headache today and not the usual migraine type.  I tested and was negative. I'm thinking that Dan may have it symptom free and I am catching it from him. We have both had four shots.

His chorus of 20 now has 8 members testing positive for Covid.  The last person had symptoms for 4 days before she tested positive.
