Not in a genetic way though. <BR/><BR/>I just love the photo of the stepping stones. Beautiful! Inactivity and I are well acquainted right now. I do not want to mention what it is doing to the hips. Sigh. But walking is somethign I really love. Especially in the mountains. I live in hope that the sun will shine.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting!I will be back.Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141761866483224572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-52993655408022058062008-07-24T00:24:00.000+00:002008-07-24T00:24:00.000+00:00Beautiful pics!

Then, you'll be twice as likely to win a book.

I think you need a light touch, and not to force people to tag along - we did split into smaller groups on occasion. J and I went for some walks by ourselves.<BR/><BR/>If we'd been going for two weeks, I think we'd probably have taken my parents' second car, which would have given us more options.

It seems that there is pressure to do things "as a family" and I can't just take myself off for a 2 hour run if that's what I feel like.<BR/><BR/>Of course, awful weather complicates things too!<BR/><BR/>Despite the above, just sitting around and allowing time for interpersonal interactions to develop and grow of their own accord has a lot to commend it.old_blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10620022935822883999noreply@blogger.com
