three kings day. the 12th day of christmas.

I had a volunteer shift at the crack of dawn, and then did some grocery shopping (300 gas points coupon = 30 cents off!).

I had barely gotten the groceries away and Bonnie call. She had to go walking. Being house-bound with guests, remodeling and the weather was driving her stir crazy. The freezing rain hadn't started yet (it didn't start till well after noon) so we went.

We chose to go down to the Steel. Between the casino and ArtsQuest's 3 Kings Festival we figured the roads and sidewalks would be very clean. For the most part they were.

We parked in one of the ArtsQuest lots, and headed out First to Polk. Then up to Second to Founders Way. Then up to Third, and toward Sands Blvd. Down to the outlet mall, and around the trestle.

Back to First, and back to ArtsQuest. Then we did it again.

It was cold, but a good walk. Good idea on Bonnie's part. I had planned to go out later alone. Good thing I didn't. It became icy quick.

Yesterday I walked up to Bottom Dollar. The sidewalks on Broadway were iffy, at best.

Friday, I walked down to Aharts. The sidewalks were worse then.
