Pam and Irishrose,
I am very impressed about the hula hooping. I was able to as a child but when my youngest was in grade school we bought a hula hoop and I could not do it all. We actually all tried it out at Christmas that year and were able to get some great video's and photos.
I did manage a two mile walk with my dog Kasper. Tonight we will try for three depending on the temperature. It is getting way to warm way too early.
