@lioness, Haven't thought about a root beer float in years! I just happen to have a bottle of root beer bought for slow cooker fall apart pork loin. Now, if only the ice cream truck would come back by...I'll have money handy and waiting!

Yesterday I drove to a nearby park for my early walk. It was great because there were ducks and a string of babies following on the playa lake. One jogger went whizzing past me and only saw two other walkers but a change of scenery was a terrific boost. Need to start planning 1/park /week walk.
