Went up to the lake for my dad's family's annual summer gathering.

brisk walk: 45 min

(In the rain. With no rain jacket or umbrella.)

Supper: 4 short lengths of farmer sausage, small serving mashed potatoes w/margarine & sour cream, large helping coleslaw, 2 c. iced tea

Came home again. The camp is only 45 minutes away from where we live and because of the weather, we'd decided to drive back and forth rather than bring our camper. I'm glad we did because on Sunday morning when we got up, the temp here on the yard was 11C/52F. Up at the lake it will have been a few degrees cooler yet!

Sunday
Breakfast: 1 slice toast w/margarine, coffee w/skim milk

Back out to the lake for another day spent in the camp's dining hall with 50 other people because it was too wet to do anything outside. The Bible camp we rented for the gathering is only about 45 minutes away from our house and I don't know what the final tally was there, but here on our yard, our rain guage showed almost FOUR inches.

Lunch: small serving spaghetti & meatsauce, 3 thick slices of garlic toast, 2 large servings Caesar salad, 2 c. iced tea
Supper: 3 open-face sandwiches (egg salad, chicken salad, and ham) w/pickles, cucumber slices, 2 c. iced tea, 2 pieces of dessert (various dainties were served)

White-knuckled it home along some VERY soft and mucky gravel roads! YIKES.

Monday

Brunch: coffee w/skim milk, 2 fried eggs, 1 fried pork chop, 1 slice of toast w/margarine & honey, 1 c. skim milk
Supper: 1 A&W Teen Burger, 1 serving onion rings, 1 large Root Beer

Evening snack: 1 piece leftover Gingerbread cake, 1 mug unsweetened Peppermint tea

Total exercise time: 3 hours & 50 minutes!!
(avg: 33 minutes/day of mostly moderate to hard exercise)
