I bet everyone is waiting on pins and needles to see who walked the most walks and won the gift certificates for the 2012 Challenge.   Three gift certificates were awarded to the top three: 1st was Ed Hainline (29 walks); 2nd was Ethel Wood (25 walks); 3rd was Susan Treacy (22 walks)  Mary Elise Diedrich had 15 walks. Congratulations, and that was a lot of walks!
It was a perfect day to be out in the fields today.  We had six of us who carpooled but we met up with our other two Merrywalkers at the start.  Cookies, cake and a beautiful field of flowers and the most beautiful English Garden at the end.  It was a wonderful walk, and even more wonderful because we didn't have to do it in the mud!  Tomorrow we are headed off to do the 31 Flavors Walk in Beaverton (unfortunately, it isn't ice cream).
