Shane MacRhodes was in town. Shane runs the Safe Routes to School program in Eugene and is a co-founder of Kidical Mass. Last night he met with local LCIs at the Bicycle Kitchen in Sacramento. Tonight he presented the latest best teaching techniques at North Natomas TMA to a group of experienced LCIs plus a few rookie-LCIs.

Avery at gymnastics
When Avery spotted me as he was maneuvering out of the foam pit, “Hi Grandma! The pigs are dead!” That got a few heads to turn in our direction. Avery was probably thinking about Uncle Justin’s pigs that do get butchered once a year, usually in October. 
Coffee with friends

The black and white fabric is by Lotta Jansdotter. The ride fabric – scraps from the sheets I used to make Billie’s valances a while back. I embroidered “ride.”
