Greetings from Santa Rosa


We arrived here in Santa Rosa, California, on the 22nd of October. We are visiting with our good friend, Nancy MacDonald, and having a wonderful time. Nancy has just purchased a new home so we have had a good time helping her get settled - installing knobs and pulls on the kitchen cabinets, painting the fireplace mantle, hanging artwork, and moving every piece of furniture here and there for the perfect look - I am in my element! Her home and surrounding yard are absolutely lovely.

In our free time we are having fun exploring the area - we have been antiquing (Our best finds were Millard and a hall tree), eaten at our favorite Mexican restaurant (El Coronel in Sebastopol), walked around Healdsburg, and visited several wineries. Nancy has a great walking route here in Oakmont so we 'try' to do that each day. Nancy's daughter, Kris, lives 10 minutes away with her husband Jim and baby daughter Lexi so we are enjoying visits with them as well. So far this has been a great vacation!
