Fun with the tourists

A couple of out of town friends wanted to see Old Sacramento this weekend. My fiance and I were reluctant to play guide. We live here, we don't go to the tourist traps. But, being good friends, we gave in and we went to old Sacramento... and had a great time!

We had a drink on the top deck of The Delta King, watching the river flow by, shopped for tackiness and kitsch at Evangeline's and then took a nice stroll by the river. Ha, call me a tourist.

Afterwards we made a quick trip to Crepeville on 18th and L Street before sending our guests back to their suburban lair. I'm glad it turned out to be such a pleasant time, but I'm not rushing out to sign up for a tour of The Capitol Building anytime soon. Though the free Sundays at Crocker Art Museum lures us in regularly.

Happy Day After Mother's Day

I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. We couldnt' have asked for better weather for it, which has me wondering, do we have one more storm coming before the warm weather grabs on and doesn't let go? I hope so. This winter was TOO mild. Not enough soup and sweater weather for me. But of course it's great to see outdoor concerts come back, to sit outside and have lunch at Tower Cafe and there's a bike trail out there that's beggin' me to go for a longer ride. Of course we find time to get some roofs done too. Here's some we're workin' on now.
