The walking has really made me feel more energetic, plus has been a part of my loosing NINE pounds over the last five weeks. The other contributing factor to my weight loss is eating much healthier: more fruits and vegetables, less meat, almost no junk food. For a snack, I eat a piece of fruit or have 97% fat-free popcorn.
Even though we’ve had days in the 90 to 100 degree range, I’ve been walking early in the morning, starting at 6:00 or 6:30 a.m. to beat the heat.

So it took about two years to complete the job. We researched several companies, and found one that gave use a good balance of quality and cost. I'm sure there are lots of good companies out there (as well as some rip-offs), but we were very pl… Read how I did it…

I love photography, took early retirement, and have some extra time.
I went on facebook and found the MOBOT’s page. I simply made a comment on one of their posts, and asked for the name of a contact to volunteer as a photographer.
Then I wrote her a note along with a slide-show of some of my flower photos:
