Tomato tart and a bacon cheese dip from Ellie’s Marie’s with potato chips.
Merrilyn always sends me home with some leftovers, the tomato tart was as delicious cold as it was warm. This time, I also took home a container of Italian Wedding Soup (Ina Garten’s recipe) – so delicious. Thank you Merrilyn.
Heather Fargo, resident of S Natomas, former City Councilmember, Mayor of Sacramento 2000-2008, came to Four Seasons Westshore to share information about the remaining 8000 acres of farmland left in the Natomas Basin. Warehouse projects are being proposed on the south side of I-5 and very close to the Westlake and Westshore neighborhoods. There is a push to preserve the farmland as part of the Nature Conservancy and to force warehouses and huge semi-truck EV charging stations to north of I-5, closer to the airport where many other warehouses exist, are being built, or are in various stages of planning.

The birthday celebrations continued in the late afternoon on Sunday. I drove up to Maria and Tim’s vacation home at Old Greenwood, just north of Truckee. Five years ago, I celebrated my 70th birthday with a week-long rental with friends and family. This year, two friends, one more birthday party. On Monday, we went to Truckee, shopped a bit especially at my favorite jewelry store,
and then had a drink and snack at
Austin, owner, who is also a friend of Daniel, Tim’s son.
Greg, Marcela, and family drove up Monday evening. Tim came home from his trip to see a Dodgers game. Tim grilled tri-tip, Maria made a great salad, and Monday Night Football and too much fun visiting with everyone. Tuesday morning, time to drive home. Greg and Marcela, Amelia and Breanna Rose.
Justin, Thais, Lenin, Sophia, Avery, Carson and I met at Mas Fuego for an early dinner.

Due to a miscommunication, we arrived rather late. Many people had already left. Visiting was more important than eating. So, afterwards, we went to dinner at Mas Fuego.
Lucky me. Before he left, he changed my air filters. Thanks DQ.
Carson did great today.
He made three of the five goals and promptly told his mom after the game that three goals = $15. Mom let him know that deal was only good for the first soccer game to generate enthusiasm.
Six of us met at Sammie’s in Nicolaus and rode the long way (17 miles) to Bishop’s. Extremely popular the closer it gets to the end of October, we decided to go early on a weekday, hoping to avoid bus loads of students on field trips.
There is a lot to see and do, but we homed in on Mrs. B’s Bakery before it got crowded. Everything is delicious. A couple of us had a very small pumpkin pie for brunch.
BarbaraB, Cheryl, Jane, Becky, BarbaraB:
On the way back, a stop at Salle Family Orchards:
13-mile ride back to Sammie’s. Beautiful weather, fun ride, good friends. A perfect day.
