Near the mouth of the Kaweah River, a #5 Rafting River, and very noisy - Kaw Kaw!

A Drive to Sequoia National Park

March 29, 2013 by tchistorygal

I thoroughly prepared myself for a day of work. I was going to  work on my quilt.  but Mary called, and off we went to the Sequoia National Park. We started at Bravo Lake in Woodlake, admiring the Botanical Gardens.  You have to climb to get to the lake as you walk through the gardens to the walking path around the lake.  Bravo Lake, fed by the Kaweah River, Indian word, eah, meaning river, filled with the raucous caw, cawing […]

Wicked Weekend in Oz for History Gals

March 19, 2013 by tchistorygal

Some people got to family reunions.  Some go to class reunions?  Other people meet in different ways and click, and then start to do things together in a group.  Do you travel with a group of people?  Do you plan for months and all look forward for weeks and even months for just a few short days or hours together?  Before this group of women came into my life, I never had this experience with more than another couple.  I […]

Valentine’s Day Is Almost Here

January 27, 2013 by tchistorygal

I get lots of xox’s from all of you, and V commented that he wanted some xox’s, too.  So I bought some cookie cutters with built in xox’s, but I haven’t made them yet.  But last night when I got home from my meeting, look what I found on my plate!!! The 18th anniversary of our first date is Feb. 11.  I love how my husband is such a romantic.  He’s already gearing up.  xoxoxo to you V  :)  Marsha […]

SF with Mary100

San Francisco with Mary

January 13, 2013 by tchistorygal

I love to eat.   I am not a foody, but Mary is. I love nice clothes.  I am not a shopper, but Mary is. I love to travel.  I don’t know places well. But Mary knows all these things. It’s relaxing to travel with friends like Mary because they hold in their hands all the knowledge they need as they negotiate the world – their cell phone accessed by yelp.  They know facts about everything.  They check me in […]

The Space Needle still towers over Seattle skyscrapers to reign king.

Sunday Post: Architecture

November 23, 2012 by tchistorygal

If you haven’t been to http://jakesprinters.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/sunday-post-architecture/#comments , and you like photography, and you need ideas for a short posts, Jake is your guy.  I love this because even as amateur photographers everyone usually has tons of pictures that sit unseen by anyone but a file folder.  This is a reason to open up those dusty folders, and pick out our best work. Seattle came to its own during the 1962 Worlds Fair, and even today, 50 years later, the Space […]

Mama’s Fish House

November 2, 2012 by tchistorygal

Once in a lifetime you should save your pennies and head to Mama’s Fish House.  OK make that save your $20.00 bills.  To a mainlander it’s almost indescribable. Click to make reservations which you may need. We had just gotten off the airplane in Maui, got stuck in the Costco parking lot, and headed directly to Mama’s.  The weather was picture perfect.  It felt just as amazing as it looks here. There aren’t really any bad seats in this ten star […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

October 28, 2012 by tchistorygal

This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign. In this case I chose to focus on the word foreign meaning outside the United States where I grew up, and have lived my entire life.  Almost anything that is out of our comfort zone could be classified as foreign, and this trip was as foreign as I have ever felt in my life.  I hope you enjoy my long past memory of Paris, France where […]

Old West Cinnamon Rolls, Pismo Beach

Sunday Post: Delicious

October 11, 2012 by tchistorygal

To meet Jake’s weekly Sunday Post challenge I know there are other delicious things in the world besides food, but MY thoughts almost always go to food. However, I don’t USUALLY take pictures of food.   Unfortunately, my plate is usually clean or partly clean before I even THINK about taking pictures.  So my idea for this challenge was to find a clean plate with that licked-clean look.  I didn’t have one, so this is my next best thing. These warm out-of-the-oven […]

University Park Inn & Suites

July 2, 2012 by tchistorygal

Lodging, like rental housing, in university towns are in much demand during part of the year.  Sometimes you can be picky and sometimes you just can’t.  Our travel was paid for out of a federal grant, so we get good rates for nice hotels, but that doesn’t mean that we necessarily choose the locations that are the most expensive hotel in town. This is one of those that I would consider to be somewhere in the middle.  You are not […]

Mikuni from afar

Mikuni’s

June 27, 2012 by tchistorygal

This is the place to go, the Davis Commons, a little mall that used to have a Borders.   Now you can find lots of little eating places with plenty of tables outside to enjoy the scenery – which is mostly college kids. It’s a short walk under the bridge on the bike path from the University Park Inn and Suites hotel in Davis.  I’m not sure if it is a safe place for big-footed angels, but it was great […]
