Still Needing Drivers

My daughter has been feverishly working on hosts and Drivers. The hosts are coming along pretty well still need places near buffalo to stay. We are in desperate need of drivers for May, the weekends are Saturdays May 9th & 16th. The weekends of the 2nd and 23rd are covered. It is ideal if a driver can do at least 2 days, Saturday, Sunday. Still Need drivers for mother’s day weekend May 9th and 10th and 16th to the 19th of May 2009.

It would go along way to help me feel more calm and focus on the walking. If at all possible we will need folks who can drive during the week. The drivers job is vital this is the person that would go along with me and any other walkers & have fruit, snacks and water handy and perhaps scout out places to rest and or public restrooms. We will have a car this time around. Call the ASAP 216-231-0301 office if you can drive.

Getting Ready / Working Out

Here are some pictures of me exercising. I really look like a pro huh? See that look of concentration on my face. What you don’t see is my trainer that shows me how to use all this stuff. Then he makes me do all the heavy lifting.




This one is me with my cat. Well it’s really my friend Marjorie’s cat and I am her foster mother. The cat Dilly is not allowed to live where Marjorie lives. As you can see I have not been able to train her to walk with me like my other cat Nelson did. Yes, Nelson as in Mandela.

Dilly gets heavy after awhile so she may not be able to come along. Yes the cat is named dilly like silly but it is after a James Joyce character.

Welcome! My name is Joan Southgate. In the following posts, I have written a few thoughts I've had walking the under ground railroad. I will periodically post new thoughts and questions. Your job is to look at each post and respond to or comment on that question. I look forward to a very lively discussion with you!
