Tuesday
I picked up Carson, Avery, and Sophia (in that order btw) after school today and we went for a fast-food snack before Sophia’s basketball game.
Halftime show:
Super Bowl
A very good day which started with a bike ride with Rachel, Brenda, Agueda, Maria and Yingce. By the end of the ride, I learned Yingce knows Thais, they work in similar fields. In front of a painted quilt panel honoring Wally the Walnut Tree on the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail in Rio Linda:
I was able to watch the game and commercials and sew and cook for the rest of the afternoon/evening. Potato chip nachos with grilled filet mignon and a gorgonzola chive cream sauce. Delicious!
An entertaining football game and by the end of the evening and I closed in on another finished project.

Where the quail landed
It’s always nice to see where a finished project, given as a gift, ends up in its new home. This is one wall in Adrienne’s living room. The cabinetry and electric fireplace were improvements made by her after she moved in.
To the right, I love the California poppies pillow – a gift from her daughter Aly – which made me think Ade might like the embroidered quail pillow.
To the left, there’s the quail pillow. Looks great Ade.
The Last Wide Open
Terri and I went to the B Street Theater this afternoon. This one-act play was really good.
Before the play we had brunch from Cafe Bernardo but we sat in the lounge area of the Fort Sutter Hotel – they make a really good Irish coffee btw 🙂
391 miles
Jane and Barbara went for bike ride – no picture. On a different ride, Tracy took this picture of Rachel and Jim:
Meanwhile, a big group of us drove to Granite Bay to ride some rolling hills. Jonathan took this picture of Elaine, Agueda, Brenda, Maria, me, Stacey, Cheryl, Kathy, Sheila, Michael, and Dani. Minerva also rode.
There were two ride groups. Dani led the faster group who rode 30 miles. Kathy led another group who rode 23 miles. This was the first time for some cyclists riding rolling hills – North Natomas and all of Sacramento is flat. The non-e-bike riders also has a harder time, shifting was important.
We were all about 5 miles from the end of the ride when it began to sprinkle, then rain. Despite being wet and cold, we all had a great time. And a couple more people are thinking an e-bike might be a good idea.
Showing Grandma some love
Today, I picked up Sophia, Avery and Carson after school. At one point, we were all involved in our individual activities except for Carson and I periodically taking away a parade of toy animals Charlie had chosen from the toy box. This is the look I got when I took away the giraffe:
