On the Move by Curb Walking

Curb Walking

for — LAPC

#SWS

This week John from Journeys with Johnbo is the host for the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge. He has challenged us to post photos of our being On the Move. He has shown us some of the typical ways that people choose to travel (Aka being On the Move). Some of the typical means of being “On the Move” are traveling by car, by train, by airplane, or by a cruise ship or another type of boat.

However, I am not going to show you any typical form of being “On the Move.” You might ask what are some other ways one can be “On the Move?” Well, some of the other methods are walking, running, skiing, skipping, skating, swimming, or our favourite hiking. Even though hiking is Coleman and my favourite method of getting from point A to point B and sometimes C in one day, that is not the method or means of being “On the Move” I am going to show you today.

What method of being “On the Move” am I going to discuss with y’all? Let me tell you. The method is called Curb Walking. Ever heard of Curb Walking? I hadn’t really heard much about it or how or why it is done.

Curb Walking is a unique type of walking which involves walking with one foot on the Curb and the other foot on the street. Ever tried Curb Walking? If you did; did you enjoy it? Was it Beneficial?

My daughter, Trisha, Curb Walking with Coleman close by (not that he’d be much help if she fell, but he’d try).

The uneven gait of Curb Walking is thought to help the pelvis (of pregnant women) to open and shift, which is predicted to encourage the baby to move lower and into a better position for birth.

Curb Walking around the playground at Goat Island Park and Greenway.

Curb Walking can help create flexibility in the hips and pelvic floor over time. It can also be a part of overall exercise for endurance. However, it is not a guaranteed way to start labor.

How long should you Curb Walking when you first start? It is recommended to begin with 10 minutes. When you are Curb Walking you should listen to your body and take it slow at first. You may gradually increase the duration and frequency (emphasis on gradual). It is suggested to aim for a total of 30 minutes of Curb Walking on the majority of days for overall fitness.

Before beginning Curb Walking (especially while pregnant), it is highly recommended (if not crucial) to consult your doctor or midwife prior to your first time. (My daughter, however, consulted her physician after her first adventure into Curb Walking). Everyone’s personal health and pregnancy situation is different, so it is best to consult with your medical professional ahead of time. ( I do need to mention she consulted her physician the next day & it was favorable for her to Curb Walk.)

If your doctor gives you the go ahead to begin Curb Walking, it is advised to start between 37 and 39 weeks to specifically try and induce labor. (She is so tired of being pregnant and so ready to meet her daughter.)

Sock Skating Shadows

Every Winter The Schiele Museum of Natural History converts the Block Party room into a Winter Holiday Themed Sock Skating area for kids of all ages, however, primarily for preschoolers and elementary age children.

The first time Coleman visited the Sock Skating area “rink” he was hesitant about “skating” across the “rink.”

He gradually learned to relax and enjoy himself.

2025 Thursday Trios: 20 November

Three” Out

for a Evening Walk

My daughter (Trisha),
my grandson (Coleman),
and my future
granddaughter (Sophia).

This was taken on Tuesday evening at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway as we were preparing to head back home. This was a rare occasion for us. My daughter normally doesn’t care to go walking and I do not see well at night to attempt walking anywhere.

However, my daughter is so ready to be over being pregnant that she decided she needed to try to start walking some on her days off. She is trying Curb Walking to try to speed the process up of Sophia being ready to make her entrance into this world. [I’ll be discussing Curb Walking further in a future post soon.]

Coleman loves to go walking/hiking at any given opportunity. He loved having his mom come along on an evening walk with us.

2025 Thursday Doors: 20 November

Tesla Cybertruck 
2025 Tesla Cybertruck

The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck is an electric pickup truck which has a distinctive stainless steel, wedge-shaped design. [When Coleman and I saw this Tesla Cybertruck near the Post Office in Downtown Cramerton it reminded me of the “Back to the Future’s” car. I know the “Back to the Future’s DeLorean DMC-12 does not exactly look like the new Tesla Cybertruck, but it to me back to memories of watching the “Back to the Future” movies with Michael J. Fox.]

Driver’s Side View

The Tesla Cybertruck is available in two main trims: 1) the Dual-motor all wheel drive; and 2) the tri-motor “Cyberbeast”. Cybertruck is available with Full Self-Driving (Supervised), a suite of advanced driver-assistance features designed to provide more active guidance and assisted driving under your active supervision. [I’m not sure if I’m ready for a Self-Driving car. Are you?]

It also features Blind Spot Monitoring which uses illuminated warning lights and on-screen visualizations to help you safely check your surroundings.

Passenger Side View

The Cybertruck features a range of up to 325 miles, a 123kWh battery on the all-wheel drive model, and a 600 horsepower output for the dual-motor version.

The Tesla Cybertruck is designed to be the safest truck on the road. It has a low center of gravity, impact-absorbing castings and the lowest probability of rollover for any truck tested by NHTSA.

I’m not sure who in town owns this Tesla Cybertruck, but it was interesting to see in our small town. Would you drive one?

2025 Cell Pic Sunday: 16 November

Storybook Walk Book 2

Previously on October 5th I shared with you Cramerton’s newly installed Story Walk in Goat Island Park and Greenway along with John Steiner (host of CellPic Sunday). The first Storybook was called “School is more than a Building” written by Kelley Donner. At the time I had not realized the Storybooks would be changing periodically. You may click to view the previous post here and view John’s CellPic Sunday post about the Storybook Walk here.

When Coleman and I went walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway last Sunday we discovered the Storybook for the Storybook Walk had been changed to “The Acorn & The Oak” written by Rhonda Accardo.

These first images of the Storybook were taken with my iPhone. The next set of images were taken with my Canon.

If you ever get the opportunity to be near the Charlotte, North Carolina area, Goat Island in Cramerton is just a short drive south of the Airport. I would highly recommend stopping by to visit this lovely Greenway and take a walk along the Storybook Walk on the paved trail.

Emergency Exit

Plus Pull Up a Seat

The other week we had a rare occasion to eat out. Normally, I do all the cooking at home, but on this day after my daughter’s and grandson’s doctors appointments we decided to stop for a bite to eat before going home.

Emergency Exit Only
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

We were all hungry (Coleman tends to be hungry all the time right now). We decided to stop at Olive Garden, a rare treat for us.

Trisha Pulled Up a Seat

Trisha (my daughter & Coleman’s mom) doesn’t like her pictures taken as you might can tell from her facial expression.

Sometimes Coleman loves his picture being taken and at other times not. He does love looking at himself in pictures though.

2025 Monday Portrait: 10 November

Equus

Equus is a genus of mammals that includes Horses, Donkeys, Asses, and Zebras.

These Jackasses were introduced to us by our former landlord. He brought to a portion of his land adjacent to our rental property to raise with the assistance of his daughters.

A Jackass is an adult male donkey, females are called Jenny. Jacks or Jackasses (male donkeys) are often mated with female horses to produce mules. At one time the more common term for the donkey was Ass.

From the 18th century, donkey gradually replaced ass and jenny replaced she-ass, which is now considered archaic.

2025 Festival of Leaves #6/Sunday Trees #610

Capturing Leaves and such along the South Fork Catawba River before church this beautiful Sunny morning with Coleman. We enjoy walking along the riverbanks whenever the opportunity arises. And since we were feeling a bit better after being sick, it was an opportune time.

Platanus occidentalis

Leaves of American Sycamore trees …

The American Sycamore tree is native to Eastern North America; which includes the eastern and central United States, the mountains of northeastern Mexico, extreme southern Ontario, and extreme southern Quebec.

The American Sycamore is a long-lived species, typically surviving at least 200 years and likely as long as 500–600 years. Interestingly the species epithet occidentalis is Latin for “western,” referring to the Western Hemisphere and named as such by Carl Linnaeus since the only other species in the genus was P. orientalis (“eastern “), native to the Eastern Hemisphere. Therefore, it became confusing due to the fact that the American Sycamore was first known in the Eastern United States. Hence, it is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Sycamore in order to distinguish it from Platanus racemosa which was discovered later in the Western United States and called western sycamore.

2025 Thursday Doors: 30 October

Atrium Health Doors

Inside and Outside

Coleman and I haven’t been feeling well, so we haven’t been out and about hiking and enjoying the outdoors this past week. We did manage to get him to see a doctor (When did doctors to charging a fortune for a short visit — no tests?). While at the medical plaza waiting for him and his mom’s doctors’ appointments, I managed to capture a few doors with my iPhone.

Here are a couple of Inside Doors …
