Instead of a sponsored Volksmarch to add to my total kms for/with Megan, I had a bona fide walk WITH Megan.

She arrived in Binghamton, NY for a short recovery period from major surgery at Sloan Kettering Hospital.  Peggy and I were helping out during her stay in the hospital.  She arrived in a limo in style and was greeted by family with hugs and kisses.

One of her doctor's prescriptions was to walk 2 mi. per day.  Our walk totaled 1.2 mi. which computes to about 2 km.  So Megan and I headed out into her neighborhood area.  We enjoyed chatting about her apartment in Buffalo, NY...some experiences with children she has taught....noticed some pretty flower gardens along the way.....how she has to deal with her recovery....etc.  Her "gait" was a little slower than before, so soon after her surgery.

During her stay we enjoyed playing a card game called"skip-bo."   On Friday evening (9/7/18) the whole family attended a special digital light display in downtown Binghamton.  Here my face was projected on the side of a building.  At various points special digital art, video projections were displayed.

On Saturday morning (9/9/18), Megan headed out to Buffalo, NY with her friend Adam.  .....more hugs and kisses......As I stated when I started this little project, the walk with/for Megan can be a statement or prayer for her health and well being.  Of course, walking WITH Megan made this a special experience.  I am looking forward to walking WITH Megan again.  And I maybe I can beat her at "skip-bo" next time!
