Just got back from a wonderful mid-morning/early afternoon day on Sutter.  The weather couldn't have been more beautiful.  Here are some notes/highlights:

 

• Got some produce, local honey, and croissants at the Farmer's market.
• Karen of the same named bakery was giving a cooking demo with foods from the market.  It was a scone with apples sauteed in sugar and butter topped with a spcied whipped cream.  Yummy!
• The ice rink was open.  Didn't skate, but it looked fun.  Instead of the usual taped music, they had live musicians.  2 young guys on a keyboard/guitar duo singing soft rock and standards.  Very talented and provided a good atmosphere for both the market and rink.
• There were also live musicians outdoors at the market, antique shop, and Hamptons.  I love outdoor musicians as they proviude a good ambiance.
• Bought a bottle of olive oil at We Olive.  Beautiful shop, much nicer than EDH.
• Not too Shabby had refreshments and selling Christmas decor.  I try not to get into the spirit until Black Friday, so didn't buy anything.
• American Visions is celebrating their 10th anniversary tonight.  There will be snacks and drinks from 4-8
• The vacant shop next to American Visions is being renovated.  Looks like there will be a new tenant, but no indication on who.
• They're reinstalling the Folsom Railroad Museum today.  The restored railcar was on a flatbed, and there was a crane and forklift ready to lift it in place.  Would have liked to watch, but it would have taken a while.  Don't know when it will reopen.
• The intersection of Reading and Figueroa now has a 4-way stop.  Hooray!

Days like these make me glad to live in this town.  Go down and check it out!

Sutter Street is the heart of our community and it was absolutely wonderful!  You encapsulated it perfectly!

After my daughter's soccer game we went to the Farmer's Market and then to Sutter Street Grill for a late breakfast. The rink is nice to have, but just too warm at 70+ degrees. The top of the ice was a puddle so the people who fell were really wet. Really enjoy hitting Sutter St.

Only in California could you ice skate and get a tan at the same time.

Stopped by Sam Horne's today for lunch after watching the salmon jumping in the river by the Nimbus Fish Hatchery.

Yep, my daughters were skating at the rink for my niece's birthday party and many of the girls got pretty soaked when they fell.  We also joked that it was like a sunny day on the slopes where we should have brought sunglasses and sunscreen!  Still, the kids had fun and the general "feel" of Sutter Street" was great.

Quite often when I'm down there I think of all the people just like us that have been doing the same thing on Sutter Street for the last 168 years and think I can almost hear and see them. It's sort of magical.
