Our stepping out across the country has been such a fun way to keep in touch with some of our Smith members and friends who are now living further away. We smiled when Joan Macfarlane mentioned our return trek back eastward ! And, oh dear! Just as we got closer to Janice Mellen in Vancouver, we learned she was back in New Hampshire until mid- August. You may encounter her walking around Hillsborough!

As we turn toward home, here’s a thought: Can we make it back to New Hampshire by or during September??? Lace up those shoes, carry lots of hydration sources, and let’s see…

Also, where in the world would you like to perambulate next? Please let Barbara know of your ideas as we begin our planning for the upcoming year.
