Good deed

Becky Garrow invited me to join her in a short presentation about adaptive bicycling and the basics to get started to a support group whose participants have young-onset Parkinson’s. We met at a church in Carmichael.

Terri and Cindy have season tickets but, at the moment, Terri is recovering from knee surgery. I was lucky to get her ticket to today’s performance of

at B Street Theater. The theater is small and every seat is great.

A two-person, one-act play. I really enjoyed the play.

PUN 2

The second session of Pedal Up Natomas began today. Ten new participants, volunteers Lennore and Kathy, and fellow LCI Deanna. We stayed in the Inderkum HS parking lot today.

So cool. Kathy expertly taught Siri how to ride a bike!

Last day in paradise

With no specific plan for the day, we decided to go back to a couple of our favorites on the north shore. Hanalei Gourmet was closed – a staff holiday until next Sunday – so we drove to Kilauea and had a very good fish sandwich at Kilauea Market and Cafe. Here are a few views of the area around the timeshare we’ve been in. On one side was a parking area with 2 food trucks – one Mexican, the other Asian fusion – both with good food and more convenient and cheaper than going to a restaurant. On the other side, the pool.

Thank you so much Ade for inviting me on this trip. I had a great time. I wonder what our next adventure will be … oh yeah, we’ve already booked it. Stay tuned.
