We had a great haul with fruit this year. First he two apricot trees then the plum. The grandparents know now where to get their summer fruit. We've had a lot of get together s and celebrations with the family lately. We had father's day, fourth of July and My Dad's birthday all in a row, not to mention Kieran coming to town. We loved hearing him play his music for us and home and sending him off at the San Francisco airport. I did get splash with soda that fell out of our car and was hit by a Prius. I did have to run through the airport to find my dad since he had the keys to the car which was in a no parking zone, and I did slip on uneven ground coming back to the car from Stinson beach. All of these mishaps and hurdles still weren't overshadowing of the amazing views, fun tastes and sounds and feeling of visiting sf and seeing the beach and spending time with Emmy and my folks. This is how life is, full of heartache and mishaps, but mainly good times and great memory making blessings. I lost my ten year wedding ring which I wear a lot and my mom gave me this beautiful pearl ring she got while at Koolina. I was happy to have such a great ring from such a great place. There we no fireworks allowed in Placer county for the fourth so Emmy and I went to old town Sacramento. We saw a boat parade with some fireworks, but decided we needed to hunt some more. The girls and I went to Vernon street and went to the top of the parking structure and had a great view of the fireworks show at the fairgrounds and all around town. I was happy Celia made it out with us.
Celia has been exerting her independence from me lately and its nice to have Emmy to go hang out with and the temple to clean and the weekly park /pool days with the ladies to get some social outlet. Of course we have our Saturday ride routine and I loved going to Ettore's with Bri, Emmy, And Celia/ It is beautiful to see that area of Sacramento. When we take Spence we see Auburn area a lot and we have beautiful rides through the foots hills and near Folsom. The temple grounds are so beautiful and I was pleased to walk there with Emmy and plan future events of interest. We had a grand time having Rah Rah over for my Dad's Birthday dinner here and going to her house for her chicken enchiladas and
banana crème pie. It makes for a great summer and for sweet feelings of connection with the family.
