Noas Spring Birds chirped Insects buzzed, and frogs croaked along the trunks of fallen trees Wild flowers sprouted everywhere, drenching the park in an aromatic bouquet

I walked towardpoint

Three baby squirrels played along the front of the old wooden coaster na ride stretched 6000 feet and surrounded all of the park

I liked to start at the coaster’s beginning and run to the end That gave me a nice two miles and allowed me to see all of the park If my knees didn’t creak too much and my hips didn’t ache, I repeated the run

Here we go

I plugged my headphones in my ears and turned on my favorite podcast, Drunk Sistas

Steena’s high-pitched voice filled ht ladies We are here to have a blast!”

“Yes,all afternoon, so let’s go My ass ”

Bending over, I stretched s

“Oh, Alice! We don’t have time for your mess today” Steena chuckled “But we do have time for another person that puts the capital M in messy”

I rose and did a quick stretch of my arms

Alice chimed in, “Oh, I’ve been excited about this person all week”

Let’s see what these old bones are going to let me do today

I broke out into a light jog

My feet hit the ground at a steady rhythm

Steena clapped, “Let’s introduce our guest, Gossip Columnist Messy Mandy”

This interview should be fun

I steadiedas I maintained a nice speed

“Thank you, ladies!” Messy Mandy’s voice ca too!”

Steena giggled “What are you drinking over there, Messy?”

“First of all, please don’t call me Messy I need you to say both words”

Steena cleared her throat “I apologize What are you drinking over there, Messy Mandy?”

“Thank you, honey I a arita”

“Girl, that sounds a,” Steena said “What’s in it?”

“Three parts Jose Cuervo Three parts frozen lie juice with a jalapeno on top”

“Spicy and sweet,” Steena proclaimed

Alice yelled “I like the sound of that”

“It’s delicious”

Increasingto a full out run, I made a note to try that drink myself
