These Literacy Foundation Ads by Gaetan Namouric are so sad! Give books for the holidays this year to keep them alive!

This is so cool! This photographer re-created family photos from her childhood with her sisters now that they’re adults! I love seeing stuff like this!

Scenes from my last training walk…

As you can see, the training schedule is getting pretty intense here! I am doing it out of order, and definitely skipping some of it… Fortunately, thanks to Beachbody, I am in great shape. I just want to walk as much as I can so that I am ready, as walking is a different repetitive motion, and I don’t want to be sore for the event!
I saw these Phlox on my 6.2-mile walk last night, which was incredible! By the way, I must say that I did not know they were Phlox - that was my mom who told me that! They smelled so good!
During my walk, I also got the chance to walk past the Quadracci Pavillion/Milwaukee Art Museum, which is always gorgeous! Here are a few photos!

In the second, you can see an ad for an exhibit I am extremely excited about - my favorite painter is involved! I will definitely be checking that out!
As I traveled North, I also passed the Northpoint Ice Cream stand, which has recently been painted very appropriately for my purposes!
And as I traveled further North, the sky was turning pink over the lake (also appropriate!) and was beautiful, so I snapped a couple of pics!


So that 6.2-mile walk put me at exactly at 45 miles of training so far, which is 3/4 of the event itself! I still have a long way to go, but look forward to every step! Well, almost every step!
Still accepting donations! =)

Can someone please tell me why these 50+ ridiculous photos even exist?! So weird, creepy, and sometimes even sad!
