May 17, 2014 Locust Grove

      I've been negletful about doing the blog and I apologize.  If I don't do it right away, the problem becomes remembering what actually happened.  What I remember about this walk is that it was a great day to walk.  There was sun, a nice breeze, blue sky.
   
      There were 14 of us including potential new member, Donna.

      Six of us dined at Table Talk.  We decided to start rating our luncheon places and we gave Table Talk a 9 today.

Two blue herons in the trees.  A third joined them right after I took this.
