... Was a Summer in San Francisco

Anyone who lives, has lived or spent time in San Francisco would recognize the end of that *Mark Twain quote - "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". He's not that far off, it does get quite cold there in the summer. But having lived there, I made sure that we were well prepared for our summer vacation to San Francisco and the Sacremento Valley region. We spent almost two weeks there this past August and had a terrific time. One of the best vacations that we've had. The pictures included here are taken from both my nephew Joey and us.

*As far as it being an urban legend that Mark Twain is the author, I'm not sure. But since I'm still finding quotes that credits him, I will leave it.

Support Your Local Farms

We do. One of our favorite past times during the summer and fall months is visiting local farms for their pick-your-own produce, and one of our favorites is Larriland Farm. Below are pictures from our recent excusion of apple picking
(and brocolli, beets, spinach & pumpkins).

You will also noticed pics from our summer blueberry outing. After reading Treppenwitz's post on blueberries, I just couldn't help myself. I rounded up the kids (aka mine and my neighbor's) and headed to the farm for blueberry picking. We also attempted to harvest the raspberries, but it was a little thorny. Mmmm, they were YUMMY. Thanks Dave, for the inspiration.
