We are the Walkie Talkies, aka, "Wonderful Walking Women"



The Walkie Talkies are a group of women who have been walking together for over 20 years. The group ranges in age from 58 to 85. We walk and share stories and opinions that stretch for generations. We consider it "inner jogging" because of the belly laughs we enjoy--we feel it leads to good health for all of us. We are/have been teachers, nurses, a stockbroker, a school principal, a real estate agent, an author, a flight attendant, a pastor, secretaries, a farmer, a rural mail carrier, a pastor's wife, home executives and business owners, mostly retired. We have cried with and supported each other through widowhood, divorce, death of a member and Alzheimer's.
Theses photos were taken at our Winter Solstice parties in December, 2004 (upper) and 2003 (lower). We will celebrate the Solstice on December 21 this year.
