Walking with Winnie

Fun Day in Amish Country

These are Tammy's baby goats. Aren't they darling?

Today we went to an Amish feed and harness shop and got Winnie's rigging attached to the new adjustable tree, purchased from Outfitter's Supply. If Winnie's lameness proves minor, she might wear her new pack saddle before long and get to continue her walk across America. Her saddle sore has healed up.

After returning from the harness shop, Winnie and I walked part way behind Tammy (on Joe) and Cricket (on Stitch), as they set out for a lengthy trail ride. The bugs in the field were bothering Winnie, so we only followed them about a mile and then turned back toward the barn.



Tomorrow, with God's blessing, Tammy will drive us out to Wyandot County in Ohio, 175 miles from New Wilmington, so we can find out what is wrong with Winnie's leg. I've really enjoyed my visit with her, her husband Mark, and their son Andrew, who celebrated his 22nd birthday today. Happy Birthday Andrew!
