Happy Summer Solstice!!

For some unknown reason (maybe the sun coming through the window?) Gideon was awake before 5 AM.  Eventually he went back to sleep and I went for a walk.  I ended up walking over 4 miles this morning.  When I got back I did some stretches and a few other exercises and 30 crunches.  This was a great start to my day!

I also worked at my house for a bit and my son-in-law came by after he got out of work and helped.me with the plumbing.  It is almost there.  This is the first chance we have had to work on it in an few weeks.

Horseshoe Island

The Pierce Manse

Which was apparently moved from Montgomery St.

Most of what is left of Montgomery St is over my shoulder.

And this part here.  There were no signs indicating that the Pierce Manse had once resided on this street.  I feel that further investigation might reveal that the street has undergone a bunch of changes over the years.

My daughter has been practicing her illumination and I finally remembered to take a picture!  That shadow is my phone.  😜

Exploring on my walk is my happy for today.   I walked down roads that I didn't realize existed this morning.  I found places I didn't expect and ended up finding a place (Horseshoe Island) that I had been trying to get to in the past.
