Oaken the Long Weekend
This past weekend was pretty wonderful. Zanonda and I did a lot of what we call "Oaken" in which we decide to visit places in Oakland we haven't been before to discover what is there. We started off walking from my house into downtown and around Lake Merritt then, back up into the Uptown area. We found a number of neat little diners and a few new bars we are considering checking out coming up.
Zanonda laughed a great deal which always makes me happy and she was surprised to discover just how close everything is to my house. She has stated there is no reason to drive downtown anymore as it's close enough to walk and we are walkers now. :)
Sunday was spent up in Tildon Park walking the trails up there with Ninadog. She's getting slower but, still has a lot of energy whenever we go up there and she does her best to keep up. Zanonda and I have been making up a children's cautionary tale as we walk the trail in which, we have both decided we both have come up with some rather horrible alien species of plantforms! But, it's fun and we are beginning to fine tune the tale.
Monday was again spent walking the Lake Merritt path which was really nice despite the humidity. There were lots of folks out and all very happy and relaxed.
Health is good, mental health is good.
Have you Oaked lately!?
