THE LAST TRAIN

Here is my last photo from the Old Sacramento Railway Station. Unfortunately the picture was taken right around noon so my sky is blown out a bit. I like the vivid yellow of the cabin so I decided to post it anyway.
Be sure to check out my son's blog site. He does some nice work.

A SOBERING SITUATION

This weekend my Husband and I volunteered at a Health and Special Disabilities Fair at our church. There were over 100 vendors there to offer information and help on medical issues and those with special disabilities. Everything from Canine Companions to The National Downs Syndrome Foundation was represented. I believe many people received the information they needed to make their lives better. I know my life was better for serving the community this way.

Have a great weekend everyone.

DOWN BY THE STATION ANOTHER VIEW

Another shot of the Railyard in Old Sacramento.
Sorry I haven't commented on everyone's blog this weekend.
We had our dear friends, who we have known for over 45 years, and who lived right next door to us for 41 years, come and visit this weekend. We had a delightful time catching up on life and just enjoying each other's company.

MY BACKYARD GHOST

If you use your imagination perhaps you will see a face looking back at you. I guess I am a bit tired while posting this so my mind is taking a few strange twists.
Enjoy your weekend.

DOWN AT THE STATION

The Railyard at Old Town Sacramento. Seeing all the old trains out in the yard made me think of the childrens song: Down By The Station.....
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
See the Station Master pull the little handle
Chug chug, toot toot
Off they go.
My son has just started to blog. Take a look at his site. Mr. Mapper is the site name. You can find his information on my previous post.

TOMORROW NEVER COMES

Hello everyone. I think I am back in business. There is a definite problem between Picasa and Blogger. Its being worked on and the only way I can post is this different format. Not sure what it will look like.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and votes of confidence. this was a most frustrating week.
SO......to the picture...
I was beginning to think Tomorrow Never Comes.
The picture was taken at Joe's Crab Shack in Old Sacramento. I LOVE crab but I guess I will never get it Free.
Ok, here it goes...I am going to hit publish. I hope we all see a picture.

JUST PEACHY

We have had an amazing crop of peaches. I think we picked 2 lugs worth yesterday. Now I have to become domestic and make something with them. We set aside this peach. Don't you think he's got a big nose? Maybe Jimmy Durante Peach is his name.

WATER'S EDGE

This lovely bronze sculpture was out in front of the Giraffe paddock at the Sacramento Zoo. Its called Water's Edge and is about 18 inches tall. I think its a pretty good depiction of Giraffes at the watering hole. Sorry I couldn't find the sculpture's name.

SWEET FACE

I have no idea what the name of this flower is. It grows on the end of a long stem. This was growing by the Flamingo Pool at the Sacramento Zoo.
I think it has an almost human face. Don't you?
