We did a thirty mile trike ride around Fremont on Wednesday that encompassed much of the Alameda Creek Trail. This is our old stomping grounds from living in Fremont for nearly thirty years. It was fun traveling down memory lane.
One of our stops was Devout Coffee. We were able to sit on their outdoor patio and enjoy our lattes. Check out the wonderful presentation:
Next we were off to our trike riding. Check out the photos of the Alameda Creek Trail:
We also appreciated the birds we saw along the way. While the owl we saw when triking with Sylvia last time we were here was not in evidence, we think these birds more than met the display challenge:
And of course there were the obligatory views of the Dumbarton Bridge and the San Mateo Bridge:
After our ride was over, we arrived at the Lazy Dog restaurant to enjoy lunch with our friend, Trish. It was great to catch up on all the news from her, and remind her that she and Chris are always welcome to come see us up in Washington.
Then yesterday we got a chance to see Diane! Yes, her retirement party is next week after 39 years of service to Fremont Unified. What an achievement and what a legacy to leave. We’re looking forward to celebrating with her.
Diane and Steve were gracious enough to lend me their kitchen where I baked scones. The cost was to leave scones for them (which we did), and deliver scones to Glankler Elementary where Diane is assigned, and to the Special Ed office at the District Office where Paula and Diane worked together. I enjoyed baking, and everyone appeared to enjoy the scones. This time they were Apricot Almond and Cranberry Walnut.
The adventures continue as we went to see Sarah yesterday. How wonderful to see her, and help her out a bit since she just had some medical stuff done. Having people around to assist is always helpful, and we got to do our laundry as well. And of course more baking was called for. We stayed overnight so I could make flakey biscuits this morning, that we paired with delicious bacon. After a much needed hike, Sarah and I made ‘crack cookies’ which are a ginger molasses cookie that Paula forbids me to make, because they are so addictive. Luckily Anjanette came over to help us eat them, so we didn’t get too carried away.
Tomorrow we plan to trike over to Palo Alto to see our friend Judie. More news as we make it…
