Last-minute invitations are so fun! Jim and Lucy invited me to a crab feed in Rio Linda but the tickets were all sold out. Thinking I was only going to meet them for a drink at the American Legion Hall, I got a call, Lucy got a ticket for me!

Our table:

One of my favorite families from my teaching days, the Tomlinsons:

Favorite story: I was visiting with a friend when this young man came back to his seat (the one I was sitting in) and told me I was his teacher. I love meeting my students all grown up but never recognize who they are (like from 1980s when he was maybe 10), so I asked what his name was. “Robbie Bell.” Of course I wanted a picture. Then I asked him what my name was. “Mrs Reeves.” (Smile) Uhhh, no, Arlete Hodel. “Oh yeah, maybe that was it.” LOL!!

At the Rio Pub, although a few of us still call it Klein’s (the original name). I thought I was just meeting Val, but quite of few staff members at Regency Park Elementary also showed up.

It was Dr Seuss Day everywhere:

After work I drove up to Maria and Tim’s in Penn Valley. There was a special event at the clubhouse.

The special event was the band Pork Chop:
As always, loads of fun. Thanks for the invitation, Maria!
