Walk with me...


As I sit here eating my new favorite Lay’s Dill Potato Chips, I have decided to make another crazy goal. And include other people to volunteer to make this possible. Best part is that it will not only help me but YOU as well.
SO…..

LET’S WALK TO CHINA!



I am really dead serious. I plan to get in shape and use the miles to China as a goal. Funny thing is that it is 6862 miles, as the crow flies, from my hometown to Beijing, China. I just used Beijing for a point in China, there is really official reason.


So stop being shy and not commenting on here. I feel as if no one but me reads this.
Let me know if you are in and then send me some miles of how much you have walked.
I will add them up as they come in and I’ll find a way to post them here.
I calculated if I walked for a year I would have to walk just under 19 miles a day! That is about how long we think it will be until we get to go to China right now. But with your help WE could not only make it there, but possibly with a lot of hard work and dedication to YOUR HEALTH, back too!


Even if there were 10 of us it still would be 2 miles a day! Any little bit helps though! Even a mile or two a week. So go out there and find a comfy pair of shoes and a water bottle and make a trip around the block to see how good it will feel.


And for those of you who are not feeling the LOVE and have not gone out to get fabric squares…. Check out these beauties!! The firsts from Grandma Millie and Grandpa Harry. Which you can tell perfectly by the dogs (grandma) and the fishing (grandpa). I am excited….. Anyone have a sewing machine and a copy of "Quilting for Dummies" I can borrow?

I glimse into the window of the ONE house every day. Most days two or three times just to read and
re-read what is going on in all of my kids precious lives.

I will walk with you. Love you all!
