Winters Road Trip

Winters Road Trip

Since the girls and I are off this week we decided to take a drive up to see my sister-in-law, Diane.  We hit the road yesterday morning for the drive up to Winters. The rain was heavy (very heavy in some places) most of the drive and only stopped when we got to Vacaville and onto highway 505. Fortunately the traffic wasn’t too bad since I think most people are off work this week. Anyway, a mere two hours from home and we were pulling into the driveway at the ranch. Diane was outside waiting for us with four dogs. All happy to see us! Hugs all around!! (except for the dogs who were wet). It wasn’t raining when we arrived so we took a walk around the property.  Of course with all the rain, everything was GREEN GREEN GREEN. The creek was running real fast. Its beautiful up there! Towards the end of the walk it started to rain again so we headed into the house. Diane prepared some EXCELLENT omelettes with scones and toast. Spinach, green onion, garlic, tomato and cream cheese. BOY OH BOY was that good. That along with fresh squeezed OJ and coffee made for one great meal. After that it was just kick back and visit for a while. It had been way too long since we had been there or talked so we all had a lot of catching up to do.  We talked talked talked talked talked. It was real nice.  We headed home around 3pm. Barb had called us to tell us to avoid highway 80 because of a big wreck in Vallejo so we went 80 to 680 and through Niles Canyon,  stopped at Pizza Italia for a couple of pies and headed home. Started a nice fire and enjoyed the rest of the evening. Caught Barb up on all the goings on and called it a day. love days like this!
