Actually I think we will luckily only have some RAIN and a lot of WIND from Sandy.

But it was a beautiful day yesterday and I cannot run so I took advantage of the opportunity to spend the day with Amanda (my mentee) and her 2 sons.

Amanda and I both needed cheering up.  She has lost her job as a EMT and cannot find another.  (Richard is almost 6 yrs old & in kindergarten, Matthew is 14 mos)  Her problems make mine seem rather minor.

Every fall we go to Ellms Family Farm which has a lot of things to do for kids – games, rides, mazes, etc.  As usual, I took lots of photos and here is just a sampling.

I walked around all day and it was tiring with a boot (and a little painful). The hot cider and freshly baked cider donuts made me feel better. The kids had fun and that’s all that matters.

Happy Running! If you live where Sandy hits, stay safe!
