Views of the Neighborhood – Fun Walk Run for Animals

~ John W. Howell

A couple of weeks ago, I indicated that a fun walk/run was supposed to take place but was canceled due to the weather. Well, last weekend the event took place, and due to the magic of photography, we can attend today.

Our event is catered by Bouldin Creek Cafe in Austin. Because of many requests, our menu today has vegan options. Our entertainment today is a look back to Janis Joplin.

So jump on the bus.

There’s a signpost up ahead. Looks like we are entering the Fun, Run Zone.

We are here for sure. Here is the flyer announcing the event. (date change and all)

The registration and some walk runners are getting ready.

So we sign up and get a T-shirt and a Bud Light. (Just kidding)

Everyone’s getting to know each other.

More registrations and a view of the lake.

Time for a chat.

The start time is close, but we will go back to the bus and relax with food and entertainment. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Now here is one of my all-time favorite singers, Janis Joplin

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  8. You live in a great neighborhood, John, there’s always something going on. Most households in our area have at least one dog and some walk their sweethearts with others. Alone or in a group, it’s always fun to see the four-legged friends. Hope you enjoy the day — beginning with a savory breakfast. 😊

  13. I will take the ‘Oven Cake Breakfast’. Make it two. What energy she had, and those German boys leaving their dates to rock with her. How far did you walk? Both dogs join you?

  14. Can I get a scrambled eggs and tofu ? Good eating John. The fun run would be postponed again up here. It is 26 with a blustery blown snow. Though there are unsubstantiated rumors of a high of 41. Brrrr…

  23. Looks like a cool day — hope the rain held off. Monkey and I would’ve loved that — he thinks he’s got to greet all people and dogs along our regular walk. Having lived in Port Arthur, I grew to love Janis, too — sorry she left us too soon.

  28. Alright! I love tofu scrambles, especially if yeast flakes are in the mix!
    Tofu cutlets, tofu pate, tofu on toast, tofutti, and tofu surprise all work for me!
    I’ve never had a tofu shake, or pickled tofu.
    Nice walk, i gotta say.
    Thank you!
    LOVE the song!!!!!!! LOVE Janis!

      1. No complaints. I figured you did that for me!
        I just wasn’t envisioning you slurping down tofu bacon, or cutting into a hearty tofu steak. 🤣😵‍💫😂

  29. Dogs (and cats)- definitely a piece of your heart. Thank you for the Janis Joplin video. My Cheap Thrills album is very worn and well loved. Boy, do I love her music!

      1. That makes two of us! The saddest thing Janis did was going to to her ten year high school reunion and being rejected and jeered as she was in high school. I guess it’s the teacher in me that can’t forget that. Here’s to her music!
