The Kinky Five Dollar Walk

While out for a long walk with Michael (but perhaps not quite as long as this sentence) after school on Tuesday, (back when it was warm and sunny, not like now when it's raining, cold and windy...remember that one good day?) we hit upon what we thought was an economical way to spend some time (and very little money) that was not only good exercise but also inspirational, original, magical, illuminating, humorous, relationship-enhancing and perhaps even a little bit kinky!  


While we meandered through a cemetery, a used book store, a lot of back streets, up and down countless hills, a Tim Horton's, a Price Choppers, several green spaces and a park (whew!), we purchased a 2nd hand book that has been on Michael's must have book list for over a year about building community through drumming, a box of Oatmeal Crisp AND a Timmy's coffee (we shared).


We had so much fun that we thought we would turn this walk into a regular event and call it The Five Dollar Walk. We would take only $5.00 with us and see what possibilities present themselves and anything we didn't spend we would add into the next walk's money. Sort of a VERY FRUGAL speed-walking mini-vacation life enrichment workshop all rolled into one. 


I'm not even kidding....except maybe about the kinky part. But I have an open mind and I think you do too, or you wouldn't still be reading this!
