We took the back roads out to Auburn, enjoyed a yummy lunch at the Auburn Ale House (I love their Shanghai Lettuce Wraps…), then walked the town. Here’s some random shots from that day…

Final Day with Brother and Niece
Posted in FAMILY on May 8th, 2011
Our visit was short, but very sweet. We spent wonderful, quality time together. Went on a field trip to Sutter’s Fort in Sacramento… Then we walked Old Sacramento and had lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack! ‘A’ got his own steam pot. He was in heaven! KK was amazing! I am pretty sure she ate more […]
‘R’s Birthday…Again!
Posted in FAMILY on May 8th, 2011
I asked ‘R’ what he wanted to do for his birthday this year. His response: Outdoor skateboard party! Well, his birthday was in March, and the weather was too risky for hosting one outside, so I gave him the option of an indoor party at the time of his birthday, or wait for better weather. […]

Visit with WA Friends

Our friend, Tim, brought his two boys down from Washington during their spring break. My boys knew his youngest son from a previous visit, but had yet to meet the older son. The second they met, it was like they had known each other for years. There was never a silent moment during the ride […]
San Francisco Day Trip: Baker and Ocean Beaches
Posted in FAMILY on Mar 31st, 2011
We felt the need for some from fresh air, to walk off the lunch, and headed for the water. We drove to Baker Beach and walked that for a while. Beautiful views. It was only after we returned home that I read that the north part of the beach is a nu%!st beach. Good thing […]
San Francisco Day Trip: Fishermen’s Grotto

When my mother in law was a young, married, college graduate in the late 60’s, they lived in San Francisco. Date night every Friday night was in the same booth, with the same server, at the No.9 Fishermen’s Grotto. We decided to go there for lunch and enjoyed the fine service and yummy crab! […]
