THE SUNDAY WALK
We have been taking a longer than usual dog walk every Sunday for many years. The three of us. Normally, during the week, it is an AM and a PM with one dad alternating. A twosome.
The new home has presented a challenge in finding as good and as scenic a route as we had before.
We are beginning to hone in on it.
We go out of the complex, turn east and head for the City park area which includes the Girl and Boy's Club, the City Library, the Palm Springs Power baseball stadium, the City pool and pavilion and then the High School grounds.
Around the corner and heading south to the walkways through the Mesquite Country Club, where I used to bike, then a sharp turn at the holy roller church to go back north and finally west to our home.
There are a lot of bushes, grass and sniff spot for the dog. Plenty of down valley views for the dads. Murray Peak, South Ridge, the mountains beyond and the foothills before.
Lot of other people. Joggers on the school track and football field. And so on.
Very nice. There are still a few twists and turns to explore but we are getting the hang of it.
