This Sunday, our group rode to Old Sacramento then over the Tower Bridge for a short tour of W Sacramento. Minerva took this picture of Maria, Agueda, Paul, me, Rijindar, Jim, and Brenda:

I made sure ALL the meat came off the thigh bone even if it didn’t make it to the serving platter.

Early morning, three of us on the couch each on our own devices but still chatting. He-who-shall-not-be-ignored, Charlie, wasn’t satisfied being 3 feet away, climbed up and sat across our feet … until Dad noticed. “Charlie! Get down!” Charlie listened immediately!
In the afternoon, I went to Justin’s to gather walnuts. I only harvested from 5 trees this year. My back now prefers that I rake, scoop and fill bags for just two hours. The cows came to watch what I was doing.
One small area looked like it was the daily gathering spot for meals. Lots of empty shells.
Lots of leaves and twigs were also scooped up which meant there was more sorting at home until there was a good layer of walnuts drying on the chicken wire rack on the patio.
Cindy and I had dinner at Terri’s this evening.
The last class!
Mellissa came at the end of class to thank everyone and deliver goodie bags to everyone. At far left, is LCI Becky Garrow who assisted today – always great to work with her.
Brenda has really been doing her due diligence as she looks for the perfect e-bike for her. We met Anne from WaCo at Ken’s Bike and Board in Davis.

Today was the concluding celebration at Jibe for a recent placemaking project. For the past year, local residents were featured on pole banners throughout North Natomas. Participants were invited to pick up their banners and meet the artist who told their stories, Janine Mapurunga. I knew several of the residents chosen to participate: Ray, Amal, Cathy, and Laura. Their stories were also on display at the local library.
