Yippee! They took my picture receiving my plaque last night! The Lime Green Blob photo is for an ad only.
Among those getting plaques and photos was one of our residents, who was voted the Best Volunteer. She had understood that she and other volunteers were being recognized, but then learned she had received the most votes. What fun to see her glow in her award! She is one of my heroes, pushing 90 and still volunteers every week at a charity thrift store. She also comes back from her Mall Walk every morning about the time I am stumbling in to work.
Many of the women there are walkers. There is a group of them with pedometers who log their mileage weekly. They have just finished walking across the U.S. and are now taking on Europe. I have been shamed into doing my own laps in or around the building, trying to keep up. I can't have women twice my age out-walking me!
I can see it now: As we leave the starting point at Edinburgh, I'll be dog paddling across the English Channel while these gals are hot dogging it through Eastern Slobovia! Maybe I can march in place at my reception desk as I type. Do you think anyone would notice?
Okay, do you think anyone would think me odd?
Well, what's new!
