January 30
Sunday
Mark and I have been walking the streets of Leisure Town
the streets are cul de sacs
two long blocks
with houses on either side
and a few on the top
of the curve
He likes to chronicle the trees
on the streets
in the yards
I like to look at landscaping
There isn’t much variety
in the style of the houses
almost all have two-car garages
which means they are two-bedroom houses
Once in a while you see a one-car garage
which means one bedroom
We almost bought a one-bedroom
but it fell through
fortunately
They look so tiny
It takes four days to walk the complete horseshoe
of each named street
The blocks are long
our ambulation is limited
we only do half a block a day
We walk every day at 1 pm
It turns out this is a good way to visit
with each other.
Just a wee note
Before I go
we actually do walk the streets
or more accurately
we walk in the streets
There are very few cars
the street is more uniform in contour
we can walk side by side comfortably
and chat
Chatting is something we don’t do at home
Very much
For some reason
Too much tv news
I guess
so it is a real treat
we give each other
an affectionate adjunct
to the fresh air
and the painstakingly
painful
walking
