Turtle Bay

If you happen to be in Redding California this weekend, hey, I will be too! I will have my booth set up at the Turtle Bay Art & Craft Fair, Sept 26 & 27. Turtle Bay is a beautiful park with many attractions, including a museum, gardens, exhibitions, and a glass bridge that is unique in all the world. Check out the link to the site, you will be surprised at what they are offering.
***Pictured above: nobody knows what they are, but they have been seen adorning poles and posts throughout the Pacific Northwest, soon to be seen in Northern California gardens.

Gazing at Morning Glories


"Morning Glory" Restaurant in Ashland is a favorite among locals. If you want some satisfaction in this world, with an excellent cup of joe to wash it all down, this is the place. Not one to skimp on portions, ingredients or calories, owner/chef Patty Groth serves her comfort foods almost dangerously hot from the kitchen. My husbands favorite is her crab burger, which is an oozing splendorous thing to behold, even to a vegetarian like myself. Once he starts eating this thing, there will be no more conversation.
.....Pictured above is my friend "Nora", one of the many "lifers" that work for Patty.
