 Fiona to stay last night, she and Grumpy watched the first Star Wars together. Memories of him taking her aunt, Robyn, to watch it at the cinema back in Kent. Caroline very annoyed, aged five, that she was not considered old enough!  I was just pregnant with Fiona’s dad!

After breakfast we drove down to The Property to admire the igloo built by the boys at William’s sleepover birthday party. They breed them strong in the West........high winds and snow didn’t stop some of them sleeping in the structure!

Had a lovely, snowy walk over to Marr pond then home for lunch.

Day 10 and a winter storm that wasnt

Very disappointing.

Day 9 possible the best walk yet this year

Snow had arrived to stay by morning with promise of a winter storm to come this weekend. A trip to Safeway then.......

A lovely walk in the afternoon, a new route with an incredible view of the mountains. I need to get the WT out camera

Day 8 and it's snowing!

Snow with more expected  Off to the library for my two hours volunteering.  Back later!

Day 7 and the mountains came back!

I wasn't feeling any great desire to go walking today, too many hills yesterday! Despite the sun shining and the mountains being visible.  To motivate myself  I wrote the outstanding cheque to pay for the rubbish pickup and delivered it on one side of town then walked to other side of town (it's a small one) and picked up my new computer glasses and shopped at Safeway.  I tell you, it's the high life here!

Mountains!

Makes me smile!

I had to buy an inexpensive pair of gloves in Safeway, it was colder than it looked.  Prayed as I walked for a friend undergoing surgery today.

8,000 plus steps and 3.70 miles

975.79 minus 3.70 = 972.09

Day 6 and a sunrise?

Up betimes and out before the dawn to huff and puff up to the airport road to see the sunrise....

Enterprise School

Don't forget to look back sometimes.....

At the top of the hill, breathless? Me?

The sunrise...…!

Looking down to the highway

The brewery mailbox!

I challenged myself to seeing twenty sunrises in each month.....I think this still counts even though there wasn't one, after all I DID get up at silly o'clock!  The WT doesn't agree!

Upped my game slightly, we are going for 3.5 miles per day this week.  I can feel the effect of the hills in various parts of my anatomy tonight, it has to be said!

13,000 plus steps and 4.25 miles

980.04 minus 4.25 miles = 975.79 miles

Day 5 and the end of the first (incomplete) week

Made it to the end of the week that began on Wednesday, three miles plus every day, 10,000 steps every day (gave myself a day off on Saturday) and Dry January got a bit wet with a glass of wine when we were invited out for lunch today!

The weather deteriorated rapidly, it began to snow a bit and the mountains disappeared but still she walked.....very peaceful, no one except for a lone dog walker was daft enough to be out and three miles accomplished and some evening slightly arty shots evolved......

Our local brewery

Fine view of the mountains and the porta loos

Thought it was time I did a selfie...….

Tonight the three miles seemed much easier, must be feeling better so next week I'm aiming for a daily three and a half miles.

10,000 steps and three miles

983.04 minus 3 = 980.04 miles

Day 4 and sun again!

Late up again, shame on us, the World Traveller went off to work on the house and 1 decided to combine grocery shopping and a walk.  Despite the sun the wind was chilly.  Very restrained in Safeway and had room to spare in my backpack so the walk back was not nearly so arduous as it has been.

Didn't really make me laugh.....

Apart from walking, another lazy day with some knitting and reading.  Two sorts of muffins made, need to get them in the freezer before they vanish!  Did the requisite three miles but still need a few steps to reach 10,000.  Evening walk it is then...….nope, gave myself the night off!

8,000 plus steps and 3 miles

986.04 minus 3 = 983.04 miles

Day3 of 366 and some sun!

Goodness, our little mountain town looks so much cheerier in the sunshine.  Boots on and a swift three miles accomplished.

The back of our fairly impressive courthouse

Enterprise is the county seat of Wallowa county

Canada Geese tracks

Well on track, I've actually done the miles required for this week but can't stop now!  I do hope there is more sun tomorrow.  Today I felt human for the first time in three weeks after this wretched flu, will be glad when the cough disappears though.  Eldest Oregon grandson is pretty sick with it tonight.

10,000 plus steps and 3.81 miles
989.85 minus 3.81 = 986.04 miles
