Tour of California

I spent several hours volunteering as a Course Marshall for the Tour of California. Stage one ended in Santa Rosa. Riders entered the city from the west and rode in a circuit through the downtown. After riding three times on the circuit they finished in the middle of the city. I was able to work on the course into town and then on the last corner before the finish line. The people were friendly and excited to see the riders. Many of the spectators were families. The small children clapped and waved as the riders passed. It was a lot of fun and I know Glen and Cindi will have a great time at the last stage.

Snow

I (Beth) drove home from Santa Rosa last night so I could keep an 8:15 A.M. Dr. appt. today. It wasn't snowing then but it started around 8:00 P.M. It hasn't snowed here for a few years so it was a very pleasant surprise...until driving on the ice this morning to my appointment:-)

Coffee with Whittier City Council Candidate

Cindi and I would like to invite you to our house for coffee and dessert on Thursday, March 2, 2006 at 7 PM. We have invited Joe Vinatieri, a candidate for Whittier City Council to meet us and a few of our friends—including you. That is why we are inviting you. Joe has met some of my friends who are impressed with some things that Joe is saying and the fact that he is willing to listen to people in the community.

I would like to meet him, hear what he has to say, talk about the issues that I am concerned about, and have you as part of the process and conversation. We will serve coffee, tea, and some light dessert. I always make good coffee. I hope you like it, too. We can make decaffeinated and regular coffee.

I am not asking you to vote for anyone. I think it would be fun to meet a candidate and be a part of the conversation. We are not asking you for money; this is not a fundraiser.

If you’d like to be part of the conversation, let me know. Give me a call. I am looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you on Thursday, March 2.

Brianna openned Jane's card. She got out her crayons and colored pens. You have to eat
Marshmellows while you color.

Along the trail

On the San Gabriel River, near the entrance to the National Forest, this new sign marks the bike trail. 37.5 miles south near where the river ends by dumping itself into the Pacific Ocean, this bird watches carefully while standing on one foot.

Jane's Good Report

To quote an e-mail I got today from my mom:

"Today we got the call from the Dr. who did my colonoscopy. They said there was no evidence of cancer and they would re-call me in three years."

This is good news, and we are grateful and learning to take life day-by-day.
