Mary Ellen,
That sounds like a really nice community. If you don't mind my asking, where
do you live?
The apartment complex where I live has a subdivision behind it. There is
also a major intersection about a mile away. In the opposite direction,
there's a beautiful parkway that has very little traffic. I love living here
because I have city convenience and quiet country charm all within the same
neighborhood.

Lisa what a marvelous O and M. instructor!
I need to get an O and M. instructor out here because there is a street we
walk down which is horse shoe in shape and I know how to walk one way with
the traffic coming toward me on the right and there is a curb on my left but
if I ever wanted to go the other way on that street I can't figure out how
to do it.
Our village is so fabulous. It was one of the nation's first planned towns
and is patterned after a village in England with all architecture being
tudor style.
Anyway like so many of the small English villages, the lanes wind in and out
of eachother and you may start on one lane and think you are walking
straight and find yourself on another lane.
This is why I have both the Trekker and the Bn Gps so I can take the trekker
and virtually walk these streets as if we were actually on them.
It is nice because because of the makeup of these streets the only traffic
for the most part is the folks who live on the streets so it is not at all
odd to see grownups, kids and dogs walking down the middle of the streets
with no car within a country mile.And we have walked through many a soccer
and kick ball game and have watched many a game of Kick the Kan.
I have even come across one little dog who loves to sleep right at the curb
and Peggy and I have spoiled quite a few of his siestas.
Speaking of ye ol pooch, park time!
