Such a fun class every Saturday morning.
I decided this was a very good omen as I drove to the grocery for a bag of ice:
My little studio apartment in Redding. The adventure has begun.

Friday!
A couple of projects I’ve been working on for the past week were finished. The surf flag is for Thais.
In the afternoon, happy hour at Ella’s with Elaine and Terri:
Extra help
Lenin was out of town and Thais had a full day at work. Situations like this make me happy. I picked up Avery from sports camp at Jesuit, then Carson at zoo camp, then everyone had dentist appointments.
Several times during the afternoon, Avery sat down at the piano to practice.
I got dinner started, Thais came home, and I got to hear about Sophia’s upcoming trip to St Mary’s for a Christian Brothers student council retreat.
Thursday at Merrilyn’s
On Wednesday. We were on the same wavelength: two shrimp appetizers. Perfectly roasted shrimp with an enhanced cocktail sauce and shrimp/black bean/avocado salsa with Scoops.
Postscript: I had to go at the last minute to get a Serrano or jalapeño pepper from the grocery store. The selection was terrible. I got the last two tiny Serranos and went to the register .. without the 4-digit code you need to check out. I explained my problem and the clerk said, “Oh, you can have those.” Quite reasonable I would say:

Games
I picked up Avery and Carson after their sports camps at Jesuit. We pick up something for lunch, went home, and each of us settled into individual activities. I was counting on this time so I could continue to read the Staff Report – a total of 387 pages! – for tonight’s Active Transportation Commission meeting. Then Carson asked, “Grandma, can we play a board game?” Not a difficult decision. First game:
Then a new one for me, Catan. Carson won.
And a bit more time to keep reading the Staff Report. I left in time to get to City Hall by 5:00, the meeting started at 5:30.
Press Conference
In the past six months, there have been three bicyclist or pedestrian fatalities in N Natomas. The most recent was a 63-year-old man at the corner of Banfield and Club Center.
Councilmember Lisa Kaplan organized this morning’s press conference. Below: the extended family of the victim, me, Councilmember Lisa Kaplan, Councilmember Eric Guerra, Slow Down Sacramento founder and Vice Chair of the Active Transportation Commission. In the background ATC Commissioner Don Gibson, SABA Executive Director Deb Banks, Jibe’s Mellissa Meng.
I spoke as Chair of the Active Transportation Commission.
My 2-minute contribution ended up on the cutting room floor for the local evening news, although a couple of friends spotted me in the background.
Ride along
I drove to Lake Wildwood in time for lunch. In the early evening, Maria had Ladies Tuesday Night Match Play League.
I went along for the ride.
Deer and turkeys were everywhere, quite comfortable hanging out on the golf course.
Maria and Penelope won today’s match.
