The third year of Arlete’s Bicycle Interest Group ended on November 15. 136 members in all. 42 cyclists rode a total of 40,102 miles. Time to celebrate. Anyone who rode at least 200 miles was invited plus a few special friends.
Carson was so excited when we got home after school. New basketball shoes.
After the first picture, I asked if he had any other good poses.
Councilmember Lisa Kaplan and Jibe partnered on a community enhancement project called N Natomas Joy. There were 42 applications, each reflecting a joy of living in NN. But only one was focused on friendships created through bicycling. And here we are: Brenda, BarbaraL, me.

At some point in the near future, our image will be on a street pole banner somewhere in N Natomas.
I hurt my left shoulder, not in the joint but a few inches lower on the outside. It was probably raking and shoveling walnuts followed by wrangling bicycles in and out the the container for Project Ride Smart. I finally went to the doctor who prescribed physical therapy and gave me a set of exercises to do at home which were available online with videos and instructions. My in-person appointment was today with an assessment of range of motion, etc. The big question: can I ride my bike? Yes (whew) but only 10 miles/day.
Improvement is happening, but very slowly. Four to six weeks to go. Also, a HUGE thank you to Justin who gathered the rest of the walnuts.
Terri, Steve, Elaine and I went to see Snow Fever. I can not recommend this play .. and I will leave it at that.
The best part: after the play we went to Paragary’s for dinner. And then to Terri’s for dessert: bananas foster.

As the desserts came out, it was also time for …
bingo! Uncle Jeff was in charge. There were many great prizes to win. This is a family favorite.
I hope your Thanksgiving was also filled with family and happiness.
at N Natomas Regional Park.
A cold windy day with scattered rainstorms.
Councilmember Lisa Kaplan asked if a few commissioners could attend and interact with the public. Also there, Odet Ford – Parks and Community Enrichment Commission and Ayinde Fletcher – Youth Commission.
The weather got worse, the wind wanted to move the pop-ups, the event was lightly attended and no one came to our table. Thankfully, it was over after 2 hours.

I love a slow day of making a multi-step dinner. No driving or running errands. In the evening, Elaine, Terri and Steve came over. Steve made the BEST margaritas. I made chicken cream enchiladas and a Mexican vegetable rice. A fun Friday night!
