A stare-down for the final bites of a burrito. When I asked Carson to hang on while I grabbed my phone to take a picture, he wanted to know why I wanted this particular picture. I told him about the blog, that I like to post funny things that happen when I come over. This stare-down was today’s funny moment.
Later, “Hey Grandma, take a picture of this. Put it on your blog.”
Oh yes, very funny. My loss in the game Memory.
I met a few people in the morning for a 16-mile ride stopping at various points to discuss upcoming projects, problem areas, and other bicycle infrastructure.
Brenda, Agueda, Laurie, Mellissa, me:
Terri was unable to go with her daughter Sarah to the Music Circus. Lucky me, I was able to fill in for her. We arrived just in time for a beverage before the curtain went up.
Great show.
This morning I was the invited guest of Councilmember Lisa Kaplan’s Walk the Talk at N Natomas Regional Park.
Many thanks to bicycling friends who showed up to show support: Brenda, Laurie, Cheryl, Kathy, Dani, Christa, Rachel, BarbaraL.
Thursday at Merrilyn’s. Hash brown quiche cups and Bibb lettuce and shrimp wraps.
Always delicious and great company, to say the least.
When I came into the house, I found two boys in their respective caves. Sophia had a babysitting job. Avery was in his room, Carson was … where?
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your patience later this afternoon when you come home to this creation.
Question of the day from Carson: “Grandma, how old were you when you kissed a boy the first time?”
Elaine and Cindy this time:
This 90-minute play – without an intermission – was funny and entertaining.
This was the first Friends of the Sacramento Public Library bike tour and very well organized by BarbaraL. We met at the N Natomas branch at 9 am.
Our first stop: Rio Linda library, which happens to be housed in my old 4th grade classroom.
KCRA Channel 3 sent out a cameraman/reporter.
Library #3: Del Paso Heights where the only 24-hour library lending kiosk in Northern California.
Friends volunteers shared their stories about their branch while KCRA filmed.
Next, N Sacramento/Hagginwood branch:
Library #5 was South Natomas.
Every library was unique and offered something special to the people who visit.
BarbaraL did a great job organizing this ride.
25 miles and HOT by the end of the ride. Nevertheless, a lot of fun. Here’s the link to the news segment on Saturday evening:
