I'm finally gettng warmer!

I woke up today to a mild 37 degree morning, although I haven't quite figured out what time it is and how I should feel. I think with the daylight savings time I'm only two hours off. The sun is blinding and there is no wind, so I actually enjoyed walking Lady on the American River Parkway this morning. Downtown Sacramento looks beautiful in the distance.

Buying the big fluffy dog bed was a good decision. She hasn't moved off it since I set it down, except to go out for a couple of walks.



The birthday party last night was fun, even though I will be dead tired for at least a week. I saw lots of folks I knew or had met previously, and there were even a couple of kids that Steve had gone to grade school with. What fun to meet them again. I got a few pictures of family.

The first pic is one of Sarah (d-i-l), Amy (sister), Arianna and Jeannie (g'daughter & daughter).


This one is Sarah, Amy, Me, Arianna and Jeannie, Stephanie (niece/Amy's daughter), and Megan (d-i-l)


This one is of "the boys" with a couple of the granddaughters to keep them in line: Steve, Autumn, Joe holding Keira, Brad (Sarah's brother) and Donald (s-i-l).


And finally, Steve has always been a huge fan of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead. Chef Donald made him a "Jerry Garcia birthday cake".
