I had brunch this morning with Tina who was my Phase 3 student teacher at Westside Charter School many many years ago. She has been a staff member at Creative Connections Art Academy for the past 20 years or so. It was so great to catch up.

Because of my travels, I haven’t seen Jim and Lucy in a while so today was especially nice. Our standard meal is I bring a pizza and salad and Lucy pours the champagne.

Elaine, Terri and I went to Chevy’s for appetizers and drinks on Monday .. after finding out two of our N Natomas choices were closed. A perfect late afternoon on the patio.

Adrienne, Linda, Kathy and I got together this morning for a long-overdue visit.

A fun interruption at the golf tournament. Gia found on social media an invitation to Cake-Nic at William Land Park at 1:00. Sophia also liked the idea and they each made a cake. However they were both busy with the golf tournament at that time, so the moms (Thais and Zoya, and me) delivered the cakes and hung around.

This get-together was organized by friends who go to the same gym to work out or they take yoga classes together. One of them put it out on social media where Gia saw it.

Everyone was very friendly, we didn’t know anyone. Everyone brought a cake and a knife. All the cakes were homemade although one came from a bakery (tall one with suns).

Once all the cakes had arrived, it was time to cut. Large cake boxes were distributed and everyone took a slice of each cake. My favorite was a carrot mango cake with coconut frosting.
