BUSY WEEKEND

We had a busy, fun weekend. On Friday night we made an excursion to hear Clyde play in a Davis community production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors". It welcomed ticketholders with Christmas carolers in the lobby and the evening put us in the spirit of the upcoming holiday season.

On Saturday, Meredith, Clyde and Sofia came up to Roseville for the morning. We had breakfast together and then headed off down the street to Darlene and Jon's house, where Darlene was hosting an open studio as part of Placer County's Autumn Art Tour. . .
Darlene explained and demonstrated some of the techniques she uses in creating her pieces and she encouraged Sofia to try her hand with colored pencils,

and a cookie . . .

The guys . . .

This is "Happy Village" which we fell in love with and bought . . .

This is where "Happy Village" now proudly hangs at our house . . .

We visited a few other studios and bought this print of a cycling pelaton. We loved the colors and the depiction of movement, and it represents our love of the sport . . .

Here's where it now hangs . . .

Today, Sunday, Scribner Bend Vinyard on the delta hosted an event to introduce their new port. Sofia, Clyde and Meredith and Clyde and I spent the morning food and wine tasting, listening to lovely, live music and enjoying the beautiful grounds and the perfect weather . . .

Sofia had her own version of grape juice . . .

Great weekend.
