On the road again

Yesterday was spent in the car a lot. Wednesday is my day as a volunteer driver for SAINT (Senior Alternatives IN Transportation). My first pickup was at 8:15 a.m. and the last was a little after noon. After lunch and catching up on a few chores around the house I headed down to Denver to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant with the Bill & Alice, Bob & Doris, Bill Goodwin and Clarke Ballinger. After dinner we went over to the Hyatts for a few games of spades. I got back home a little after midnight.


I have only been driving for SAINT for a month now but I really enjoy this volunteer opportunity. I had to give up my volunteering at the Food Bank after 5 years due to lower back problems. There I was required to stand at a computer checking in and re certifying clients for long periods of time. It finally took a toll on my back. I hated to leave the Food Bank but do enjoy meeting and visiting with the folks I chauffeur around Fort Collins. I'm also getting to know areas of Fort Collins this way.
