One Fall Day

"....God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature"

One fall day, Gayle, Dolores and I walked the Lick Run Greenway.  Gayle's birthday card reminds me of that morning and the simple pleasure of walking with friends. We were happy just as God intended.  

We gathered Hedge Apples along the way because they were thought to repel spiders.  Gayle's grandfather had them placed in bowls around his basement for that purpose.  Little did we know we were picking up a fortune.  The Coop is selling them for 45 cents each.  Dolores says we can get rich.

And the gift, a bracelet which is in memory of Mel Simmons.  the proceeds go to support the Mel Foundation and the work they do funding cancer research. It's lovely.  Thank you, Gayle.  I look forward to many more Greenway walks.  I treasure your friendship.
