Happy Birthday

A perfect day with late afternoon surprise visits from Justin and Lucy (with champagne!) which, later, meant I couldn’t go to Meatball Monday with Elaine. Also many messages from cousins in Canada and across the US, and, lots of cards from friends and family.

Also a word about birthday party #1. This was a complete surprise when Justin, Jennifer, Thais, Sophia and I visited family in Canada. At the end of our final dinner together on July 16, out came a cake, singing, and good wishes (and tears of joy). Sandi and me:

Punch Line Comedy Club

A new experience. I’ve never been to a comedy club. BarbaraL received tickets from a friend for her birthday and then couldn’t attend. Lucky me, I took her place.

We arrived early, ordered drinks and a snack, and visited. Tia, another friend of BarbaraL, joined us.

Appearing tonight: Hannah Einbinder. No photos allowed.

Ride to Davis

Five of us rode in from N Natomas and met the SABA team at the Tree House Cafe in W Sacramento on Saturday morning.

We rode W Capitol Ave, with great bicycle lane markings, to the Yolo Causeway along I-80. Three miles of loud traffic noise on your left side.

Flat tire #1: Laurie. She had everything needed to change out the tube.

Flat tire #2 was … my bike. And I don’t carry anything to fix a flat. While the group continued on to the US Bicycling Hall of Fame, I walked to a nearby bike shop who fixed my flat tire quickly.

We all met at the train station and took the 12:43 train back to Sacramento.

Great ride! Lots of fun and we rode over 30 miles. Me, Agueda, BarbaraL, Brenda, Laurie:

Huge thanks to Pierson, Deb and Jeremiah from SABA.
