Hampton Gardens Community Potluck
A nearby North Natomas neighborhood – Hampton Gardens – had a community potluck at
and I was the representative for Jibe.
It was a fun event and very well organized. The guys from Dos Coyotes were giving out delicious Frito Pie and chips and salsa.
Bike Doc was there:
Everyone enjoyed the zumba class:
Volleyball
St Ignatius has a good team but tonight’s outcome was quite lopsided. Sophia and at least one other teammate never touched the ball and we were finished in 40 minutes.
Carson the Okapi
I won’t be quite as available this Halloween for costume creation, but Thais managed to get Carson to narrow down his request from “all the animals” to an okapi. After a little online research, the costume seemed fairly easy. The result:
Project Ride Smart
Deanna and Christy are teaching this session at Natomas Park Elementary.
38 kids signed up for today’s after-school coaching session and I was asked to help out. Only 10 showed up which was a good thing. They were all quite successful by the end of the one-hour session.
Happy Birthday
I am always appreciative of the cards I get. Thank you Justin/Jennifer, Thais/Lenin, grandkids, Adrienne, Glenn, Phyllis, and Carol.
The BEST present I got was Phyl’s improved health – she was discharged from the hospital today.
Not Thursday @ Merrilyn’s on Tuesday
Our plan had been to do Thursday at Merrilyn’s today with Phyllis and Carol but that didn’t happen. Carol came up from Bakersfield and Dave flew in from Montana to be with Phyl at the hospital. At the end of the evening when Carol came back to my house – hungry – I made the snacks I’d planned to make for Th@M: sausage-filled wontons and tzatziki.
It was a good end to the day, Phyl’s treatment was going well and her health was improving. Whew!
Phyllis’ trip to Hawaii
Phyl arrived at 6 pm last night – a couple of days before she and her sister Carol were supposed to leave for Hawaii. She arrived with a kidney infection and the medication to deal with it. But something else was going on. By midnight, we were on our way to the emergency room at Woodland Memorial Hospital.
The life-threatening diagnosis:
Birthday dinner
The best time for all of us to get together for my birthday was tonight. We didn’t go to the restaurant with these pretty flowers (too crowded)
but rather Mas Taco Bar:

Soccer Saturday
Game #1, Avery scored 4 out of 5 goals. Woo hoo!
Game #2 – Sophia.
Avery used this technique to get a stick to go further into the ground:
