Last day of March... out like lamb?

In Like a Lion, out like a lamb?
Unpredicatable March
It wll be lamb-like later- right now it's chilly
I see Mike and he's bundled
I'm running late
I see Maddie but way up from town
She knows Mike
she met him at a tree lighting years ago
He told her about the blog
I get her email to give her the blog address- I love making walking friends
It' late so I need to speed it up
It's a good morning
Happy Birthday Shane!









The Mozzerealla is great
so is everyting at
Best of Everything




I's love to hear this story



We are so territorial
I'm on Franklin
and I'm praying for Maureen O'Connor Martin
she was just out running..
I avoid the corner of Chestnut where she was hit
I know she was operated on yesterday
and that we all still need to pray for her
I see Maddie again
she's a real walker
starting out in the dark
and the cold
every day


And I see THE RIDGEWOOD WALKER
I haven't seen her in a while
This explains it
She changed her route
Everywhere a sign




high jump?

This is the story.
One morning I see a fight at the corner between 2 drivers
Days later I see the police setting out cones
They are there the next day too-
this time 2 police cars
I see a woman drop off her son right behind the police car
He approaches her and keeps her there for 3 turns of the traffic light
It does not matter that there are tons of cars behind her
I ask him about the cones
You can't drop off kids anywhere before the cone area
there is No Stopping or Standing
It's not safe
and I know it can lead to an altercation
the policeman tells a student to get back on the sidewalk
It's unsafe to stand in the street
"Didn't I tell you the same thing yesterday?" he says
Want to cross?
Push the Cross Ridgewood Avenue button
The cops are on edge
So am I
Stay safe, be alert, obey the safety rules
and even so, keep super tuned in to the cars
because they don't always stop
I'm praying for Maureen O'Connor Martin

Saturday March 28


Fine morning
a good spring day







big moving day
the thought of moving is tiresome
moving in is always better than moving out
Arthur Groom's windows are fantastic!
The Empire State Building is consructed of matchsticks!

The Eiffel Tower is spectacular






I trust my IPhone. I believe it runs on atomic time.
I run or shacet according to the time.

I'm faced with a dilemma. The town clock give me a few extra minutes. Who am I gonna believe? Since this one was an hour off after the time change, I know it's not digital. Did the time setter get it wrong? I need to keep checking this.
Time is of the essence!

Mary Beth has a beautiful tatoo.

Nick is picking up donuts for a meeting at the church
Moira and MayAnn walk on Saturday
they ask me about the young mother
Maureen Martin
who was hit by a car yesterday
we are ardently praying for her
Jay with her dog

Last week Glen needed a little help with the puzzle.
today we do a better job
MaryBeth and Blair keep the Village Cafe humming
they dispense coffe with smiles and cheer
I am thinking of Maurren Martin.
I am praying for joy



On the way back Arthur Groom is open
I stop in to admire the matchstick sculptures

They were made right in the store as a labor of love
over the past year
They are incredible
I love shopping here

2 Honor Society students are on the corner collecting for Social Services What a great contribution they make to our community

Thank you guys, and the NHS
