Wednesday's Walker- Linda and Don

The following is from Linda and Don. I met Linda and Don when I started going to a small church here in Flagstaff. They were very kind to us (and many others). We had great fun playing dominoes and Chinese checkers. Sounds like they have found a terrific community in Oregon.

Well, the first things we purchased when we moved to OR four years ago were rain pants. There's no excuse for NOT walking here! Our favorite motivation for walking in McMinnville is our "Walk 'n Talk" group of about 15 senior citizens in our 70s and 80s. We meet every Tuesday-Thursday morning at 8 AM at the Linfield College track, whatever the weather. At our own paces, some slow and some fast, we walk the safe track for 30 minutes, equaling 1.5 miles. Our reward follows indoors at Jake's Deli where we gather for coffee and conversation at a large, round table. During that 30 minutes we share jokes and much laughter. These fun days highlight our weeks and years as we're becoming "seasoned citizens!"
