Crab Feed
Val Lilienthal invited me to Lake Wildwood/Penn Valley for a crab feed. First stop, a drink at the Tack Room.
Renee, Joy and Val
Roy Roberts and Tim Fahey
The best wait staff ever:
The after-party at Maria’s was undoubtedly the best way to end the evening. Total fun, Val, thanks for inviting me!
Airport drop off and pick up
I took Dave and Phyl to the airport on Monday and picked them up today. They flew to Montana to sign papers for their new house in Deer Lodge. Yes! Dave and Phyl are moving to Montana! Driving from Butte to Deer Lodge:
Their house and an outbuilding called The Creamery:
Breakfast with Korbi
Korbi sold the G St house and helped me buy the house I’m now living in. The last time she saw this house, it was a shell with nothing in it. So it was fun to have her over for coffee, tea, and scones so she could see the progress so far.
RLEHS Sunday Social
The guest speaker was Cheryl Stapp, a docent at Sutter’s Fort and author of several books on Sacramento history, especially during the Gold Rush.
It’s was a small group this month.
The Throwdown challenge was Best Winter Soup. I won with clam chowder, Catherine made a great butternut squash soup.
Sports Saturday
Meanwhile, in the bleachers under my legs:
Look, Grandma!
Dinner at my house
After school, Sophia and Avery came to my house and we rode bicycles around the lake. Avery found a comfortable place to watch tv:
Thais and Lenin were having a new floor installed in their house and cooking dinner would be a challenge, so Thais cooked at my house.
While Thais picked colors for an embroidery project, Carson climbed into the box of felt.
Thursday at Merrilyn’s
Warm dates with walnuts and parmigiano-reggiano and Almond bacon cheese crostini.
For dessert, yummy Sour orange pie.
Always fun. Thank you, Merrilyn, for always hosting us.
50 Bikes for 50 Kids
at H Allen Hight School.
The bike-building room. 25 kids come in the morning, 25 come after lunch.
Two kids from Project Ride Smart at Natomas Park Elementary got bikes. It was so good to see them again.
The staff at North Natomas Transportation Management Association:
I set up the obstacle course, the last step of the whole process.
There were three great volunteers, Cari, Main, and Joseph and a fellow LCI, Dan Allison. The news media was also on hand.
This is such a great community event. Thanks to all the sponsors:
