It was a pretty good day. I braved my fears and met up with a group of women for a short paddle to a sandbar and back. The current was SO strong. I had to work hard to get there. But the water was gorgeous and the ladies were nice. Came home and went out for burgers with Robin and Billy while Christina was at dance. We played card games and I had some craft beers and it was also nice. And then we tried a new place for dinner, a pizza joint in Riverside called Carmine’s Pie House. It was delicious! Billy and the kids hit the nail on the head with gifts. The only thing I missed was my ritual Grey Goose martini in honor of my mom. I never made it to a place that had a full bar. This will be my first year without that tradition since before she died. I guess I’ll just have to toast to her in my heart this year.
