Thanksgiving 2022

The flu/cold bug hit the house. Poor Ryan had just recovered from the C-bug and was the first to get hit with this. Paul, Shannon, and lil ‘M’ had just recovered from it so we all decided they should come for a few days. No family photos, but some of the cutie.

Apple Hill

Kat joined us for a nice morning at Apple Hill. We visited High Hill Ranch, Boeger Winery, El Dorado Orchards, and Delfino Farms. Sadly, we brought home a cold/flu bug that affected Thanksgiving, but we are glad we got it out of the way early in the season.

Autumn Bouquet

Ryan has a lovely new girlfriend names Kat. She joined us for dinner one evening and brought this beautiful bouquet of Autumn colored flowers. The sun hitting it the next morning was so pretty. These photos do not do it justice. After a week, I cut the stems down and placed them into a little milk creamer I bought in Kilkenny, Ireland.

Palm Springs

I drove to Palm Springs to help Michelle finish closing down her mom’s house. She did not fly in until late in the evening, so I decided to drive down early and spend the day with my Aunt Annie and Uncle Art. We enjoyed some catch up time, then picked up takeout and then Annie and I went to an evening church healing service. Short but sweet time.

Michelle and I worked hard to pack up and close out her mom’s house. On the final night, we spent the night in downtown Palm Springs and enjoyed walking around. I dropped her at the airport the next morning and headed home.

Country Line Dancing

A fun new activity with friends! Great exercise, and learning something new is always good for the brain. Having a blast with friends from different circles…

Halloween

Auntie Shell was not able to join this year. She needed to help move her mom. Alex helped scare people over at neighbor Dee’s house. Ryan stayed home with C*v!d. Alex helped decorate. Another fun turnout!

Ironman Aid Station

I have much satisfaction in running races…
I also have much satisfaction in volunteering for aid stations at races…
This one today was a whole different level of incredible.
Ironman Sacramento…
Athletes began at 7:00am and have 17 hours to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a marathon(26.2 miles)!

I was at the mile 21 run station. So incredible to witness runners still in a strong stride, and some runners having to dig deep to get it done. Grateful to get to serve alongside fellow runners who understand how significant it is to serve as we have received so much from our run community. This year’s male winner was Julian Boulain/France who finished in 8:53:21 with an average run pace of 7:05 min/mile, and female winner Liis Ranetta/Estonia who finished 9:33:50 with an average run pace of 7:13 min/mile!
