Busy day. Avery played flag football at Jesuit HS:

Sophia played 3 volleyball games at @the Grounds in Roseville (part of a 3-day tournament). The Roebbelen Center has 24 indoor volleyball courts. Sophia’s team won their division on Monday.
Meanwhile Avery had a basketball game in the late afternoon. Three kids who love a variety of sports keep their parents hopping.
Sunday January 2. A good way to begin 2022. Leo took this picture of Barbara and Cheryl:

Thursday January 6. Bike Party, an 8-mile slow roll through the neighborhood:
Saturday January 7. Leo was the ride leader, with me, Cheryl and Jane following, when we were passed by a very large and very fast group of cyclists. For a while, we rode with the “big boys.”
Perhaps a new favorite destination ride: hot dogs at Costco.

Savory and sweet this time. Chicken drummets and Walnut cranberry pie:
When my flight on December 27 was postponed for 24 hours, I was at a loss for something to do to pass the time. Therefore, out came a jigsaw puzzle. I kept working on it after I got home, quite obsessively at times, but it was rather slow-going. Today, it went back in the box. I need my table back!
On the other hand, I did finish two t-shirts when I wasn’t trying to find another puzzle piece.
Carson had a full day:
“Get your glow on.” Another short fun ride.
My plane landed in the early afternoon, Adrienne picked me up, I unpacked and got ready for a 4 pm basketball game at St Ignatius. Sophia made this basket:
Phyllis’ oldest son, Greg, married Karen in Sacramento in October. In December they moved to Deer Lodge. They arrived about two weeks ahead of their furniture and have been staying with Phyl and Dave.
View from the upstairs deck off the master bedroom:
Another revived tradition from long ago – our Chinese feast. We prepped a little each day. Two days ago I started the pork mixture for Steamed Buns (which are baked). Today we started early to finish everything up. Wrapping a 4-inch circle of dough around 1/4 cup char siu (barbecued pork):
There was also won ton soup, paper-wrapped chicken, and
fried won tons with a sweet and sour sauce. Everything was so yummy!
