A Walk In The Park

 Near the community co-op where we purchase much of the food we eat there is a small park by a river.  We often visit there when we make a trip to the co-op.  We were there the other day!  We walked, picked blackberries, ate blackberries, picked more blackberries, hiked some of the trails, and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.
 About a year ago we also visited this same park.  I walked as much as I could but because of my size and arthritis I couldn't be on my feet very long.  I had to stop and rest often.  We took the short loop on the trail instead of the longer one.  I enjoyed myself but not nearly as much as I did the other day!!   Here is a picture of me then and now.

 That is the same fanny pack in both pictures.  Notice how much smaller it looks on the left and how much bigger it looks on the right.  The fanny pack didn't change sizes, I did!

 Come back next year to see an even more impressive photo comparison!

Until then....   Happy Eating!
