#38 Penny Hike 

A Penny Hike With Marsha

If Marsha and I had been little kids together in the fifties, we might have gone on a Penny Hike.  We aren't kids and I don't think kids do Penny Hikes anymore...  but Marsha and I both have childhood memories of wandering with friends, using the toss of a coin on every corner to determine the route.  I was thrilled that Marsha was up for trying the old activity.  Our penny took us into neighborhoods we've  never explored and it even wound us in circles a couple times.  We were jabbering so much we hardly noticed. Then I tossed the penny right into the grass and lost it.  (We had to create new rules with a stick toss.)  Our hike lasted nearly 90 minutes.  Thanks, Marsha!  What a great way to enjoy the beautiful weather, some exercise and good conversation!
