Walks Saturday September 2 to Friday September 8

Birthday!

Alexis is celebrating her birthday next Friday the 8th, so let’s send her our best. Hope to see you back on the walks soon, Alexis!

Creature Feature

A few low-lying critters this week…

We Came, We Saw, We Splashed

Apologies to JC for usurping his catchphrase, but that is what happened, after a initially anxious but in-the-end quite sound deferral to Sunday for the pool party. A super turnout, and plenty of pictures for the next calendar. The food was superb too! Super thanks to Paul and Lou-Ann for hosting the Shorethings official highlight of the summer!

Weekly Walks

Saturday will be hot, but tolerable in the morning, so Loblaw’s at 8 as usual. A group is away, but perhaps that means great pics to post for next week’s blog.

Walks Saturday August 26 to Friday September1

Birthdays

Charlotte and Eileen share a birthday this coming Monday so let’s all send them our best wishes for a “funtastic” day!

Pool Party

Yes, it’s still on for Saturday August 26 starting at 2:00 at a “secret location”, well secret only if you haven’t checked your email or WhatsApp. 😉

Paul and Lou-Ann are watching the weather carefully so please check back in case the possible thunderstorm materializes.

The rain date is Sunday the 27th.

If you haven’t done so yet, please confirm with Lou-Ann by email if you’re attending (for Saturday and in case of raindate, Sunday) so she can be prepared for numbers. Bringing your own chair is recommended; potluck and BYOB, the uge (it’s what the kids say, right?).

Weekly Walks

Saturday morning pre-party walk is still on for, at the other uge. Good chance to compare potluck offerings before the fact and discover EVERYONE is bringing potato salad.

Your Moment of Zen

Walks Saturday August 19 to Friday August 25

Greetings from Arrowhead Provincial Park

Despite gloomy predictions, the rain held off and sunny skies prevailed the whole four days. We will regale you with anecdotes on the walks. There’s and incentive to come out!

Weekly Walks

Saturday looks splendid so let’s all meet at the usual time and place. We can discuss distances on WhatsApp or in the comments below. Some of us may have a few extra camp calories in need of burning off.

Pool Party Reminder

Details of the party have been emailed via Google Groups to everyone who we have on file to contact. If you haven’t received anything, please try the following:

  • Check your email spam folder in case it ended there
  • If you are on WhatsApp, the details are posted there as well
  • Text/email me directly and I will forward and add you to our contact list.

On that thought, if your email has changed in the last year or so, let us know and we will update our records.

Weekly Walks

Saturday’s forecast shows a chance of rain early in the morning but dissipating around the time we begin to walk (the 3 apps I reference differ slightly so caveat emptor). Sunday is definitely better. We have been fooled before, as witnessed by the walk last Monday pictured above. It turned out muggy but no one got soaked. It may be a “watch and decide on the day” kinda thing.

Maybe a northbound route for a change?

Walks Saturday August 5 to Friday August 11

Birthdays

Let’s send out greetings and best wishes to Norma this coming Monday for her celebration 🎉!

Safety First

A recent incident is a good reinforcement to always have your health card (or at least a copy of the number) with you when walking. A cell phone is also highly important. If you don’t have one or can’t carry it with you, pair up with someone who does. You never know when you might need medical attention.

Annual Pool Party

A quick reminder that our annual splashy get together is this month on Saturday the 26th. A separate email with details will be sent out soon.

This guy can’t wait to have you join in.

Weekly Walks

Saturday looks perfect, warm and sunny. A little added distance again? Let everyone know if this appeals and whether this could entail a slightly earlier start (7:30?) so we all meet up around the same time after.
