It's that time of year....I finished registering for the annual 5K Coastal Bend Heart Walk. This year it will be held on Saturday, October 6th, I look forward to - hopefully - beat my time from last year.

  5. But wait...you have to tell us what they are! I recognize two. I guess Texas has more kinds of flowers than any state, besides more kinds of birds.

  7. Good for you to keep doing things that are healthy for you. I used to walk four miles a day, but go out of the habit and hard to go back at 89.
