David and I hosted an informal gathering for friend to watch the parade from our deck. Jules, Lisa, Matt, and Meghan joined us! Matt walked the parade with a dog/wolf mask on, you can see the picture with Austin investigating it. Later that evening, Alex and I went to the beach to watch the fireworks!

Elyse, Kelly, and I got together to hike the Flower Farm Trail. We will all be doing a part of the Camino Frances in September. After the Flower Farm Trail (I don’t know what it’s actually called, that’s just what we call it), we had brunch at the Flower Farm Cafe.
The Way Potluck and Movie
Posted in FRIENDS on Jun 23rd, 2024
I had hoped to get all the USA Camino friends together for a Spanish potluck and movie, but two had to cancel, so it was me, Kelly, and Tina. We still had a wonderful afternoon of good food and watching the movie, The Way, with Martin Sheen.
Time with some of my favorite people on a favorite trail… Stacy and I hiked and she treated me to lunch at a cute Italian restaurant in Auburn. For my birthday, David, Ryan, Kat and I hiked and then went out to lunch at Lazy Dog.
Happy Birthday David!
