Good morning all! I just spent five months on the east coast with my grandson and daughter-in-law. My grandson has a CHD and my son works as a teacher. They made a big sacrifice since my grandson is high risk if he would get CoVID. My son moved out and I moved in. Luckily they have a backyard to play and walk in. So each month my grandson and I started a new story telling book with a theme ie “The Great Turkeys” and then we would walk in circle while making up these stories. So fascinating how many miles we would walk and enjoy the company of each other. He started kindergarten, virtually, as well. Oh the joy and excitement! My son was approved to work, virtually, for the remainder of the school year begininning January. They have reunited and I have returned to the Midwest’s frozen tundra! It’s taking me a little while to adjust from damp cold to dry cold, however I am blessed to have had all of that quality walking time with my grandson holding my hand and telling great and funny stories. Hopefully everyone is up for a short walk today, if not, I hope that you can do a few chair exercises just to keep going.
Take care all!

What a great opportunity to spend time with your grandson. Last year, I did the same while my daughter worked from home and it was such a blessing (but exhausting some days?)
I shall be walking as much as I can today and tomorrow morning, as our "winter" is about to return here in south Texas for the weekend, complete with freeze warnings. I would certainly continue to walk, but for the wind-blown drizzle that comes with the North winds - I am such a wimp while down here!

Happy walking all.
