August 2 - Pinery Provincial Park, ON

Lyle and I spent the last two days at Pinery Provincial Park north of London along Lake Huron. The park was also the spot for our latest walk. Would you believe that we are now at walk number fifty! The trail was gravel, but the gravel was packed down and so was a relatively smooth surface for my cane.

Yesterday’s walk was special in another way as well. Our daughter, Jennifer and her husband, Andrew had flown into London for a wedding.  They arrived a day early and so walked with us at the Pinery.  Jen and Andrew had joined us on April 21 for the walk in Calgary, so it really was a special treat to have them with us again.

I am posting a picture of Andrew here. As well as being my son-in-law, Andrew is the technical expert on this blog. I am grateful to him not only for his expertise, but also for his encouragement with my endeavour.

    A great picture of Andrew!!! So glad 'the kids' could be with you for another walk.

    Sue, you are on my mind much, as you know. And now during the Olympics your walking has taken on another dimension in my mind.

    What you are doing is also medal material. Many athletes have a bigger picture than the prize. The comments by Clara Hughes and her story is one example. How the athletes know that they represent their country and that they can influence others. And you also are having a positive influence on many people, as you represent the people with vision loss and share your stories. Those are examples that encourage all of us. God bless your every stride and every conversation as you continue east. Love, Alva.
