Well, it's really easy. You just walk out the door. However, with the pandemic, it seems I have been walking out of the house more often, but not to go someplace in the car. Instead, first myself, and now Leroy and I, get out of the house almost every morning between 6 and 7 to go for a walk. We almost always get our 10,000 steps before we stop and we have several routes in the neighborhood that will take us that far. Some stay close, just walk around the school or up the hill by our house and others take us across the major streets near us. We return and sit on the front porch most mornings, something I have not done in the past. We get to observe other neighbors running or walking by. Something else new during this time. I don't believe I have spent this much time outside in the past. Usually time away from home has been spent traveling to meetings or gatherings or church. This has definitely been different. We have also made short trips to Chief Lookout memorial north of Pawhuska. This is a memorial to an Osage chief and his wife and from the top of this hill you can see a great distance in all directions into the Osage hills. It is just lovely! My husband loves to drive so if time at home gets long he is more than willing to get in a vehicle and just drive. We did also get to Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, AR as they are open and taking necessary precautions for the virus. It was great to get away for the better part of a day. I have also been to a couple of outdoor meetings and outdoor church. I do love congregational singing and being able to do that outdoors with other people, all at a distance and wearing masks, has been a great experience. --Carolyn
