Walnut gathering

Tuesday. I drove out to Justin’s in the morning.

He set up everything for me (yay), brought out the wagon, baskets and rakes.

I raked just three trees and filled the drying rack above.

Wednesday. Minimum days all week at St Ignatius. Perfect. I picked up the boys and we drove out to Justin’s. First stop, the pigs. Getting quite big .. you know what that means, right?

On to walnut gathering. We scooped all the walnuts from the drying rack into 3 grocery bags, these would go home with Avery and Carson. Time to rake.

Drying rack refilled.

Back at home, Avery and Carson continued the drying process on smaller racks.

Friday. Another bagging then gathering trip, but this time, I was carefully observed.

Flag football

Friday evening at St Patrick’s Academy. Avery is #14.

One of the things Avery’s good at is rushing the quarterback and grabbing the flag before he can throw.

I really liked this field. No grandstands or seating of any kind, so you are able to stand near the sideline and have a great view.

Sunday afternoon at Jesuit. The championship game against Presentation. St Ignatius won!

One of my favorite days of the month: Thursday at Merrilyn’s .. on an actual Thursday this time. Football Dip with corn chips and Blue cheese walnut dip with Waldorf crudités:

CLK @ 4SW

Translation: City of Sacramento Councilmember Lisa Kaplan came to Four Seasons Westshore to meet with residents. Rainy night .. maybe that kept some people at home?

Thank you Terri for coming and keeping me company (and taking this picture).

Ride around the airport

This was a farewell ride, sort of. Dani and Kathy are moving to Roseville. Today we did one of our favorite rides – around the airport. A rest stop at Teal Bend Golf Course.

After the ride, we had cake and ice cream at my house. And Brenda’s birthday is tomorrow. Brenda, Brad, Sandra, Milan:
