We are the Walkie Talkies, a group of women ranging in age from our 60's to 90's, who have been walking together for over 30 years. We walk and share stories and opinions that stretch for generations. It is "inner jogging" to us because of the belly laughs we enjoy. We feel it leads to good health for all. We have cried with and supported each other through widowhood, divorce, deaths, members moving away and Alzheimer's. We have good days and "challenging" days, but not "bad" days!

Catch Us! We're Falling!
It's that time of year again: pumpkins are sprouting on doorsteps, winter coats are already out, and we get an extra hour's sleep by resetting our clocks (Remember? "Spring forward, fall back").
While the change officially takes place at 2:00 a.m. tonight, most of us will turn our clocks back an hour before going to bed tonight--perhaps, some of us even did it this afternoon (For some, we need the daylight hours to read the manuals to see how to change some of those pesky clocks!). Some might forget and arrive early for church tomorrow. It has taken us since April to catch up on that hour of sleep! Of course, most of us are up at the crack of dawn anyway. It just means we will be up even earlier now!
With the clocks turned back, it will be lighter (or, at least, less dark) in the morning. Unfortunately, it will be dark earlier in the afternoon and where we live the days will be very short soon enough!
At any rate, we hope that none of the WT's will be late for church or whatever else is happening tomorrow. For sure, we don't want anyone to be late for walking and for coffee on Monday!
