Since Tuesday

On Tuesday I wanted to try the connector trail from Sterling State Park to Downtown. So Wes dropped me off and it took me about an hour to walk to the coffee shop on Front and Monroe. It was very beautiful while in the park. I saw white egrets sitting on their nests and when I walked up they got all worked up which I felt bad about but at one point there were 8 egrets flying around and it was awesome!!! But the trail from the expressway seriously sucked with sidewalks torn up and workers blocking the way. How dare the city of Monroe mess up my walk to better their citizens' lives!!! Haha! Then Wes and I had a big cup of coffee and went to Lowes and came home.

I discovered I have a little physical issue going on that I have to take care of which will impede me working out strenuously but I'm going to continue to do what I can.

So....later today Wes and I plan to go to Macomb County where they have the Orchard Trail that starts at Dequindre and 24 Mile. First we're going to get Wes a birthday cannoli at Ventimiglia Italian Foods in Sterling Heights. (He has been spoiled since we got cannoli in Boston which is probably the gold standard outside of Italy. Although next week we're going to New York and he wants to get one in Little Italy. We're on a cannoli hunt.) Also we have to go to marine supply places all over the place and he gets to buy a GPS for his boat for his birthday.

I thought of a new slogan for Michigan on my walk the other day.

Michigan: Our roads suck but our parks are really nice!!!
