...but first I went out the opposite side of the complex and went up the street that's on the right side of the complex and up it until I reached the entrance to the dirt path.
When I started walking on the dirt path, I could see a lady and her dog ahead of me. I always like to say hello to dogs on the path, but she was pretty far ahead of me and I didn't think I'd catch up. The dog kept stopping and sniffing, so I finally did catch up.
It turned out, the lady knew me from around my old neighborhood.
Awful thing was, she remembered me--and even my dog Angel! Unfortunately, I didn't remember her.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that, though.
She asked me where I was living, now, and I told her --"Over there" since the apartment complex is visible due to the fence that divides it and the dirt path is maybe 3.5-4 feet tall.
We walked and talked a while until we got to the end of the trail, then she went her way and I went mine--which was back into the apartment complex to head to the mailbox.
The only thing in it was a letter from a pen pal I have in Kenya.
I will have to try to start a letter back to her this week.
Now it's 4:55 p.m. by my computer clock, and my step counter says 6,772.
I need to start thinking about dinner.
I hope that all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

How cool that she remembered you! And that you got to say hi to the dog.
I DID check my mail today, but got nothing. Although later, I did get a package that will be fun to mess around with. It’s an art kit that looks less troublesome than others I’ve reviewed.

I did my best to enjoy my day working at home sharing news stories and completing surveys.
