A Walk Through Town

Today, Sam and I went on our longest walk of the season - somewhere around five miles. But since there were two of us on this walk, I consider it to be more like ten miles total.

Our first stop, or technically, our second stop, was at the Post Office. I needed to get some stamps and pick up a postcard I ordered from Bulgaria. For whatever reason, it couldn't be left at my door without a signature. So I went in and signed of my two dollar postcard - and now I feel like my signature will be appearing on items ordered from somewhere in Bulgaria, for the foreseeable future.

Then it was over to the Chamber of Commerce.  I've never been in the Chamber of Commerce before, and after today, I still haven't. They were closed. I went because apparently, over the years, they've produced Christmas ornaments of noteworthy places around town (keeping in mind that "noteworthy" is a relative term) and I had wanted to go in and take a look at their years-old overstock.

I'm not sure how interested I am in any of them but I've often wished that I had more memorabilia from my hometown, from back in the era when I was growing up there. So, I thought maybe my kids might someday feel the same way about their hometown because naturally, if I feel some way about something, then everybody else must feel the same way, too. Well, sorry kids. The place was closed. Maybe some other time.

Undeterred, Sam and I continued our walk all the way down to the bank on the other end of Main Street. Then we headed back home, stopping along the way for water, as well as making a stop at the hardware store.

Nothing particularly eventful happened this long walk of ours - other than the fact that we inadvertently managed to get some exercise- and somehow managed to avoid stopping to get an ice cream cone. So, I guess that was pretty unusual. Still, sometimes these uneventful walks are pretty good, too.

P.S. My feet were killing me. Sam still refused to rub them.
