Did You Guess Irene?


The clue obviously took you to the Rochester area, and since you knew I was going east that wouldn't be Minnesota. Who do I know in that location? Several people, actually.

But my long-time Rochester buddy is Irene. We visited and went out to lunch.

She ordered the Cow and Pig Burger. Holy cow! (She took half of it home)

But her living situation has changed, so I needeed a different place to stay. Remember Sarah who hiked a little with me on the big hike, and helped Bill and me last year in the Adirondacks? She also lives there and took me in.

My only walk today was around a large block with Kia the dog. I had hoped for another walk in the afternoon, but there wasn't time.

It was her husband's birthday today! But instead of him being treated, he made us dinner last night- yummy beef stroganoff

So what did Sarah and I talk about? What do you think? She is a total bundle of energy, and I'm in denial that I'm getting older, so maps and hikes it is! If you can't read it, don't worry. If something real comes out of our crazy talk, I'll let you know.

So what's your clue for where I am tonight? Here you go.

Once again I'm totally baffled by your clue

Java Bean: "Our Dada immediately thought of the Rochester out your way before realizing it wouldn't work, so that must be the Rochester that's out their old way, right? How many Rochesters can there be?"
Lulu: "Look at Kia, sitting so nicely! I hope you had a nice walk and that the block was really really really large!"

I thought it might help since it's where I play a lot of games

Bean- the Rochester your old way, and Lulu- it was 0.8 mile long so a nice block and a play stop for Kia with Ruby a golden doodle on the way.
