The laundry is done, the rain stopped, and the skies have been sunny or partly cloudy for the last 3 days. On Saturday Norm and Wendy had their first "structured" walk exercise in San Francisco for 6 miles around the Marina District and Presidio. This is in preparation for the two-day 39 mile
Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in SF July 7-8th. What a huge commitment both physically and financially! We were happy to have Christina, our 5 1/2 year old, for the day, though she definitely
ran us ragged! The girl is a blur of motion...

Sunday was beautiful and ripe for a hike in
Helen Putnam Regional Park. The first hill is steep and we huffed and puffed our way to the top where we stopped to catch our breath and admire the views. The Sonoma County hillsides are lush and green after all the rain. The groves of Coastal live oak are magnificent. We found many treasures of nature along the way. It felt good to be outside and get some much needed exercise.

Your granddaughter is adorable. What a lovely trail with pretty wildflowers to call you on.
What a beautiful walk. And 6-year-olds do seem to have unlimited energy!
