 Jude arrived Wednesday afternoon and stayed until early afternoon on Thursday.  We walked to Old Town for lunch on the Sacramento River.


 On the way back from lunch we stopped at Farmer's Market at Capitol @ 7th.  Jude bought a variety of cherries.

 Stacey picked me up on her way home on Thursday night. She's got a beautiful new place in El Dorado Hills.  I luxuriated in the guest room shown here. I spent the night so I could be there the next day for AT&T.
 Saturday, June 11 was my first time to be an event usher at the Sacramento Community Theater for Mary Poppins.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Zydeco wizard Tom Rigney, , has a dedicated following of fans who turn out to dance whenever he picks up his fiddle. Rigney and his band, Flambeau, have become annual favorites. Betty and I enjoyed Rigney's band on Friday night.

We watched Sister Swings
 And we enjoyed Yve Evan's soulful offerings at the Firehouse Patio.
