Sophia and Avery – Thursday

Sophia made, pretty much by herself, S’mores Icebox Cake.
Hmmm, leftover filling.
We needed to go back to my house because some patio furniture was being delivered. What IS the best way to break in new furniture? The flop test, of course. “Grandma, take my picture!”
The icebox cake needed 6-24 hours before tasting. “Grandma, has it been 6 hours yet?” Finally, at 3:30, six long hours had passed.

Jibe is born!

North Natomas Transportation Management Association has rebranded itself and become Jibe. Today was the official roll-out with new buses, literature, new website, etc. Every employee and a few other North Natomas residents, including me, did a morning Ride Along to greet passengers, give away free string backpacks, and answer questions. 5:50 am, I arrived at my designated street corner
and met Taneesha the driver of Bus 1806 on the Eastside Route.
This is a one-direction only commuter service that runs 6-10 am. Then starts again from downtown at 3 pm. Because it was a Spare the Air Day, all rides were free.
After the last stop, when the bus got onto the freeway, I stood up and gave my little speech and answered questions.
The last passenger for the morning:
This was fun! The hardest part was walking around on the moving bus to hand out the string backpacks. (Please do not let me fall down.)
