Wednesday after picking up Carson and Avery from school. Charlie first greets me by jumping on me, maybe taking my forearm in his jaws (he doesn’t bite or hurt me, but I still don’t like it).The boys know Charlie needs something in his mouth before Grandma goes inside the house. Once he settles down, he follows me wherever I go. If I’m at the dining room table, he lies on my feet. If I sit on the couch ..
In the evening, we went to Avery’s volleyball game at SI.
Carson:
Avery is doing 3 sports this spring: golf, volleyball, and track and field. His events: long jump, 100m, 200m, and 4x relay.
He came in 1st in the 100m.
SMUD (Sacramento’s electricity provider) has a year-long leadership team which raises money, finds a good cause, and follows through with an activity or donation. This year’s team chose to purchase 50 new bikes, helmets and locks to donate to 5th and 6th graders at Castori Elementary in Del Paso Heights. SABA mechanics helped the SMUD team assemble and transport the bikes. Today, the bikes were distributed.
I neglected to take a picture of my team of LCIs: Joel and Charlie, and Leo who volunteered. We set up a shorts skills course. We also taught about 20 kids HOW to ride their bike. Many of them learned quickly. If they have good balance, you can run along side for a short distance, give them a shove, and .. they’re off, smiling all the way. At the end, each kid got a lock and parked their bikes along the fence by classroom. Such a great event. Many happy people.

I’ve been making steady progress. Time to check where the hem should be. I still need to sew the bustle.
OMG – good news. Sophia asked if we could just leave off the “side part.” Heck yes!
I represented SABA at this “pop-up” event at the light rail station in Rancho Cordova as part of SacRT’s Safe Routes to Transit project.

Always a fun event put on by Bike Hikers. The first good organized ride of the season. A patriotic theme this year. Far right, Larry, one of my favorite people to run into!!
First rest stop.
Paul and I drove up together and rode the 28-mile route.
Fun ride. Great weather. 28 miles.
