Thanks everyone! The walk went great. My legs were pretty sore yesterday but I was proud of myself for getting through it. There were quite a few people there and reps from Hollister and ConvaTec. It was quite an event and a beautiful day for it. Plus we got to spend the weekend in Boise with our good friends.

Hi Liza, 👏👏👌I had to really look at that photo, I couldn’t work out what the blue background was! Then the penny dropped its a clear blue sky! In Northern Ireland i remember one of those a few years back 🤔

Haha. It was a lovely day. In the last week though, it feels like we have transitioned from late summer to early winter. And autumn is my favorite season. 

Where I grew up, in Portland, it is pretty rainy too, so I can relate to not recognizing the blue sky. 🤣

Hi Tony, That’s pretty spectacular. Well it wouldn’t be the Emerald Isle without the rain 🌧

What a view! Trees, mountains, the sea, and a quaint town smack in the middle of it all. 🤩

@tony-h Thanks for sharing that photo. And that is why Ireland and Scotland are on my bucket list!!  I will totally give up sun to be close to the ocean!
