This was the second time since Covid that we attended. it was a smaller crowd than usual, but fun as always.

Folsom Street 2022
This was our first time going to any street fair in San Francisco since Covid and we took the opportunity of taking the Vallejo Ferry for the first time, which was quite a cool experience.
While one can easily find all kinds of naughty pictures of the attendees, we will just include a few family-friendly pictures here to prove we were there. <smile>
We did get a chance to run into a lot of close friends who we hadn’t seen in a while.
Hosting a Vallejo Gay Network Potluck
This is the second year in a row we had the honor of hosting a potluck for the Vallejo Gay Network. We love opening our home to such events.
The theme this year was “Disco 70’s” so you’ll notice some wardrobe choices that go with that.
Vallejo Gay Network Potluck Second September
This is our second September hosting a VGN Potluck, although our plan is to do so in March 2023. It just so happened that month had worked out for us. We’re getting better at hosting and we think that the outdoor encouragement works better for the traffic. It was a great time and we had some dignitaries attend as well.
Return to Dining with East Bay Bears
After almost two years of Covid and moving to Vallejo, we finally made it back to see our friends with the East Bay Bears, who we try to Zoom with every week. It was so great to be back (and not be required to wear a mask). We always get a room to ourselves and it’s rich food and fine people that I missed indulging with.
Lazybear 2022
Yearly we travel to Guerneville to take part in Lazybear Week. The Russian River area is an amazing part of California that we just adore.
June is Pride Month
While we will be in Ohio for San Francisco Gay Pride, fortunately there are plenty of pride events happening in Solano County.
We also attended the Pride Picnic for the second year in a row on Mare Island put on by Solano Pride and Vallejo Gay Network.
Bocce Ball with Vallejo Gay Network
During the months where it is light in the evenings, VGN organizes these bocce ball events in the beautiful Highland Park here in Vallejo. The bocce ball courts were recently renovated so it’s very much appreciated and we intend to make good use of them. The park is gorgeous, as well as the views as the sun comes down. It’s safe for our dogs to mill about and the fun and camaraderie are always there for us humans too. This was one of the first VGN things we did after Covid since the potlucks were put on hold. This outdoor activity was really refreshing for so many of us. Tom had the wherewithal to have us take a group shot this time, so here is the result!
Hosted Pot Luck for VGN
I regret that we did not take pictures of more attendees, but the house was pretty packed! We had a lot of folks stream through and made a lot of great connections!
Most of these are on a Saturday, but we would not have wanted it to be on the twentieth anniversary of 9-11, so we opted for Sunday, September 12.
When the organizer of the Vallejo Gay Network asked to pick a theme, we thought of DIVAS, of course! Every corner of the house I try to keep as an homage to Barbra Streisand, naturally.
