Spring is officially here and with it, the promise of fresh beginnings and the freedom to enjoy walking and exploring the outdoors. This year, I am even more appreciative of the natural beauty that surrounds us and the opportunity to discover new and familiar places within the Town of Creston and our Creston Valley!

A long time ago, I used to enjoy jogging on Highway #3A from my home to Sanca Creek, but that ceased when my work schedule changed and my age caught up to me. Now, as you may know, I am an avid curler and golfer. When I am able to golf, I generally use a power cart as over the years, walking the uneven terrain causes my left ankle to become inflamed and I probably have some arthritis setting in as well. Oh, the joys of getting older!
