Every time we go back to NorCal to visit family and friends, I talk about moving back. I think I worry Mr. M; I mention it every. single. time. You won't ever hear me say that the weather is better than here in Colorado (107? no thanks), buuut ... The diners, drive-ins, and dives (like Cafe Iron Village, and Ron's Drive-In) the stucco homes on golden hills, tomatoes right off the vine from Tutu's mountaintop garden, and so, so many friends. It's tempting.
I have even more photos to share; I hope you're ready. Have a wonderful day!

I hadn't ever been to Northern California before I met Mr. M; it's a special place!
DeleteAgh, all the shops look so quaint! Can't stop staring at that fridge bookshelf. Also love that last picture!!
ReplyDeleteAll of these shops are in Mr. M's hometown. Unfortunately, the city has fallen on incredibly hard times, but our generation is definitely stepping up to the plate, trying to make it beautiful again!

Haha, I know, huh! It was pretty good, too. The owner invited us to sample candy as we shopped -- all bad, LOL.
DeleteAll these photos were taken in Oroville. :)
Oh my goodness!!! I just stumbled across your blog because I saw your comment on Kendra's blog and I'm so glad I did!!! I was born and raised in Oroville (I know not that cool) but it is so awesome to see it through someone else's eyes! Wow! I hope you had a wonderful time :) happy Halloween by the way!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! SUCH a small world! I thought it was crazy "meeting" someone from Chico through the blogging world, but Oroville is even crazier. :)
DeleteYour photography is beautiful! I can't wait to look a little more when Baby Girl goes down for her nap. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy Halloween!
