I LoVe Being *~OUT WEST~*

Having lived about a third of my life there...

It's been about 3 years now since we've been back to California...

I didn't realize how much I've have missed those 

**Cool Dreamy Nites** 

with the AwEsoMe Ocean Air drifting inland...

Green Lush California is now in it's 5th year of

drought...   

 

 SUTTER CREEK, California is such a lovely little town...

Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 

with larger Cities like Sacramento & San Francisco

 somewhat near by...

 Tomorrow's Heirloom's

My ShoPPing Bag was quite full as I exited THIS STORE!!!

~Sweet Frog Husband~

over-the-top fab BiRd NeCkLaCe!*!*!

 Having once owned a Bake Shop in Boulder City, Nevada,

 I ALWAYS LoVe a Good Slice of P*I*E...

*BUFFALO CHIPS*

in Sutter Creek, California 

Had Eye-Catching Homemade Pies 
 that tasted as good as they looked!!!

The addition of "Vanilla Bean Ice Cream"
 from McConnell's in Santa Barbara, California,

 was the perfect "go-with" ~ **Y*U*M**

 READY-FOR-LUNCH!*!*!

Soooooo Glad we stopped in this itty-bitty town of Amador City, CA

AMaZiNg Architecture ~ Especially Inside & On the Back Patio

 The IMPERIAL HOTEL Dates from around the late 1800's...

 We opted to sit outside on the patio of the 

IMPERIAL HOTEL

~**GOOD FOOD**~

 and very pleasant waitress...

I can only imagine the ambiance at night with the string lights on

 against the wood and stone surrounds...

 Our lunch table was just below this fabulous 

naturally time-worn flower painting...

It was almost like we were in a "grotto setting" with the tall 

stone wall behind us...

 A few ChiPPy-WHiTe Sightings

on-the-trip...

I always get so inspired from traveling!!!

NOW

IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD
