OUR TIME IN THE DELTA

We are enjoying our time in the Delta. We took our powerboat out for the first time and had a good trip, even stopping at a marina to refuel. Our friends Jan and Sally accompanied us as well as Cap’n Toni. On the return cruise, we had fun watching a huge sea lion attempting to jump up on a channel buoy to join a female sea lion that was there.

As always, we are mesmerized by the bird life around us; the battle of whether Jules or Jim would win the female mallard. We are anxious to see when the baby ducks will arrive. Our old friend the blue heron still visits us.

We enjoyed a visit from Melody and Cheryl on their way north and the continued company of Jan and Sally. We explored Old Town in Sacramento where had a lovely lunch overlooking the Sacramento River and rode the historic El Dorado Sacramento Southern Railroad Observation Lounge along the Sacramento River. The restored 1924 car glowed with its crafted mahogany and inlay woodwork. We were pleased to see that our engineer driving the train was a woman.

Next we drive to San Francisco to celebrate our 27th anniversary.
