What a bananas update! Yesterday was a great day for finally biking for over an hour and getting a steady flow of donations. My endurance isn’t what it used to be! I think this could be my personal best day of the week. I am planning to do somewhere between 6 to 8 miles tonight.
Day 1: Kick-Off – Zero Miles (0)
Day 2: Sunday Fun Day – 6.5 Miles (6.5)
Day 3: Earned a Burrito – 7 Miles (13.5)
Day 4: Pizza Night – 13 Miles (26.5)
73.4 Miles to go!
I had half a pizza after the ride…undoing any good from the ride.
Fun fact! The Goat Yoga people donated to the cause. I miss them so much and it is amazing that they reach out! Don’t know goat yoga? Check this out from 2017!
Made a highlight video from my latest adventure! Got to spend a wonderful Sunday morning checking out Goat Yoga at Emma's Daisyhill Farm with Janice Ingson Yoga! It was so much fun. Check it out. Pygmy goats are too cute. btw Molly from the farm is an animal acupuncturist! I am going to be interviewing her about that soon!I am always looking for a new adventure! Email pat@wfre.com with your leads and ideas!

Gabby’s Good News: Teens Create Free Online Tutoring
In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, high school senior Ajay Sachdev spent some time helping other students on an online tutoring site and even made some money doing it.
However, Ajay realized that not everyone can afford private lessons. So he collaborated with two classmates and created a new and FREE tutoring website. Specifically designed to help those who were struggling with remote learning.
The tutoring service is called Smartly. It allows users to send in questions about their homework and get emailed responses from one of the site’s 25 volunteer tutors at no cost.
This website gained a huge response among remote learning students. And the best part? There’s no shortage of students who want to volunteer as tutors.
Now with the new school year about to begin again, Ajay and his partners hope to be able to serve many more students, especially those who will begin the year learning from home. (NJ.com)

{Katie’s Kitchen} Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps!
Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.
We’re getting healthy this week!!
A great summer meal- it’s light and refreshing and it’s TACOS!
For this recipe I used a pound of ground turkey meat and cooked it and then added taco seasoning according to the McCormick’s seasoning packet.
Then while that was cooking I chopped red onion, tomatoes, avocado and got my cheese ready.
I got fresh romaine lettuce and washed and dried it then picked the larger leaves that looked like the best taco “wrap.”
Once the turkey taco meat was finished- I laid our my lettuce wraps, and topped my tacos with my favorite toppings!
INGREDIENTS:
-Ground Turkey
-tomato
-red onion
-taco seasonings: cumin, paprika and chili powder OR Seasoning packet
-romaine lettuce
-cheese

{Katie’s Baby Blog} Lily is Still Not Sure About the Beach…
Last week my family and I took a trip to Cape Cod, MA where we stayed in a super cute little cottage right in Plymouth on White Horse Beach!
It was so fun. I’ve never really traveled that far up North and everything is so beautiful! Our cottage house was right on the beach…I mean, opened the door to the deck and walk down the stairs onto sand, close!
So, I warned Lily multiple times about us going to the beach because she DID NOT like the sand the first time we went. She didn’t love it this time either. BUT! I did get her to walk in the sand and the water by putting water shoes on her feet! That was HUGE for her!!! She was slow and didn’t want to walk around too much, but she did it and we were so proud 😉
The rest of our trip was filled with us visiting Salem, MA and going to the Salem Witch Museum, which I highly recommend, if you get the chance. The entire town of Salem is SO cool and apparently the BEST place to be on Halloween.
We saw the most beautiful sunsets on Cape Cod, Encounter Beach is amazing for that! But, my favorite part by far…THE FOOD!!! The LOBSTAH rolls…omg…I would go back (drive 8 hours) just to have another from there. All of the seafood was so fresh and delicious.
Plymouth is a really cool town to tour as well. We went to Plymouth Plantation and saw the Pilgrams little town and the houses they lived in, we went to Plymouth Rock, and shopped in downtown Plymouth– that was probably my favorite place we visited.
Definitely an amazing trip! I can’t wait to see how Lily does the next time we head to the beach…I’m hoping each time we go she likes it even more!!
