Sis and boyfriend didn’t stay for lunch. They went to see the Jazz festival that was going on at our city’s downtown. They didn’t invite me to go coz I was cooking.  Hmmmph. I would have gone w/ them if they asked me to. Bummer.

 

My city’s downtown is quaint. The streets are made of cobblestones and there’s a railroad track in the middle. and somewhere there are historical buildings that have been preserved , and are still being used commercially…. the original salloon bar is still there, now a pub. The sidewalks are wood… it’s like a cowboy town. Oh, i have pics ! I’ll upload them later. Have you heard of the Pony Express ? Downtown was the main relay station. Of course , there’s a modern area of downtown with tall buildings, lots of hotels, and government buildings. We have a skyline…. hmmmph, this is not really an hicktown, like what folks from LA are saying about us. They call our place cowtown too. The nerve !  Although I have to admit , there are farms here,…. tomatoes, orchards, strawberry, grapes, apples,  he he…. well,  30 minutes from our place is the US’s wine center…..vineyard valley…. I’m sure you’ve heard of it… a well known wine country…NAPA VALLEY. It’s so beautiful there. One can see hiils of vineyards all over…….. very Frenchy……..lots of outdoor cafes, chateu – like homes, wine – tasting every minute, everywhere……  …..  And about 40 min. from our place are ski resorts. Our city is truly laid back…. nobody’s in a hurry to go somewhere. Do you know that our city has been voted as having the most courteous drivers in the whole of USA ? Yep. We’re a bunch of polite folks.

 

You won’t believe what my mother bought to bring to the philippines….. Olay shampoos , conditioners, and body washes , 4 of each. I use Johnson’s Baby shampoo. I’ll just buy it there. < What’s good for the baby is also good for me. > hahaha ….I wonder if Olay ‘s very expensive in the Phil. Oh, and Dove soaps, 2 large packs. i’m sure there will be a lot more. And she has already weighed the stuff. Mom ? You don’t even have a passport yet.
