2010 Walking Tour of the USA
As an introduction to our walking path around the facility we have started a new program - 2010 Walking Tour of the USA. We are encouraging everyone to let us know how many times around our path you go. Once around the path = 1 mile. In the activity room are slips to fill out and the box to put them in. Watch our progress on the USA map just inside of the activity room.
Postcards - Can't walk with us - help us on our tour. Do you know anyone in the state we are walking through? Ask them to send us a postcard! It will be a great way for us to learn about their state.

It has not quite been a month and we made it all the way across Wyoming. We are now heading to St. Maries, Idaho - only 232 miles. We received a postcard from Lisa Kilton of Boise, Idaho. She writes that they had received snow on May 22nd, Boise is a semiarid climate with 4 seasons and that JR Simplot supplies all the french fries for McDonald's. We all think of Idaho as the potato state. Lisa is a friend of Tim Reinemann, Life Enrichment Therapist.
