Walking Across America is Tiring Work

Hi, Fans,
I'm sorry it's been so long since I reported in. We've been very busy walking across America. It can be very tiring. Mom sometimes goes in the wrong direction, and she doesn't count any better than Mister Albino. She tells me on Tuesday we are walking 15 miles, but we end up walking 18. On Wednesday 6 miles turns into 13. You see what I mean. Thursday wasn't too bad a hike, but I was too busy calorie loading to write.


On Friday I was still exhausted, but Mom made me get up early and go on the road right after breakfast. I didn't feel like moving a muscle after all the good food I ate at the Collins place. AGAIN Mom couldn't figure out her GPS and got all smiley for a minute when we entered Orange County. She thought we had found a shortcut to California. It turned out it was Orange County, New York, not Orange County, California. We had to keep on going until we had walked 16 miles, all the way to New Jersey!

By the way, they have crazy weather here in Sussex County. As soon as we crossed the state line, the sky got dark, we heard big thunderclaps and down came the rain. Mom was a wreck after that one. Maybe that's why she decided not to walk this weekend. We finally get to take it easy! I met some new horses, Chip and Jewel, at MaryAnn's place, and they are filling me in on all the gossip. I might let you in on all that horse news tomorrow, but for now, I'm in dreamland. Love, Winnie

Mom,
This post is my favorite! Classic. Love the photo of you and Winnie resting. Asali says, "Hay! Hurry up!"
Tonight we're putting Asali up on the high line and the boys and I are going to sleep in a tent in the backyard near her high line. Off for a lesson now with my trainer, Sheri. Sweet dreams!
Love,
Your Daughter

Love that first pic..it reminded me of my lazy bones dog, SONIC, when he got too tired or just wanted to relax in the sun...Looks like Winnie might have some Lazy Bones too!
