I didn't go to Temecula, but...

I didn't go visit our son and his family in Temecula today (Saturday).  First, I was too tired from last week.  Second, I was fighting a sore throat all week.  Third, I just didn't have the energy for the trip.  Period.  I really needed to stay home this weekend.

However, our daughter called at 8 a.m. and asked me to meet her and the granddaughter at 9:30 at our nearby Lowe's to watch another middle school band perform for the Palm Springs Tour (bicycle tour).  It was a snack stop/bathroom stop for the bicyclists on their 5, 10, 25, or 55 mile tours!  And, there were a LOT of bicycles!  Man alive!  I used to drive out Thousand Palms Canyon and Dillon Road and take photos of the folks doing the 55 mile ride, but I haven't done that for several years.

Anyway, we sat and listened to the music for about 20 minutes, until the 2 year old started wiggling.  After that, we went to Nordstrom Rack to buy her another pair of Converse tennies for day care.  I mentioned to the daughter that I needed to go to the library and renew my card (every 3 years...), so she offered to bring the little one along and get them both a library card.  So, off we went.

The 2 year old (nearly 3 now...) LOVED the library and they each got 2 books to check out for 2 weeks.  I do believe there will now be trips to the library for the granddaughter and her card is good at any library in Riverside County.

Here are some photos I took with my cell phone while she was in the library:

At least she sat still and LOOKED at the book!
