I LoVe Being *~OUT WEST~*
Having lived about a third of my life there...
It's been about 3 years now since we've been back to California...
I didn't realize how much I've have missed those
**Cool Dreamy Nites**
with the AwEsoMe Ocean Air drifting inland...
Green Lush California is now in it's 5th year of
drought...
SUTTER CREEK, California is such a lovely little town...
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains,
with larger Cities like Sacramento & San Francisco
somewhat near by...

Having once owned a Bake Shop in Boulder City, Nevada,
I ALWAYS LoVe a Good Slice of P*I*E...
*BUFFALO CHIPS*

was the perfect "go-with" ~ **Y*U*M**
READY-FOR-LUNCH!*!*!
Soooooo Glad we stopped in this itty-bitty town of Amador City, CA
AMaZiNg Architecture ~ Especially Inside & On the Back Patio
The IMPERIAL HOTEL Dates from around the late 1800's...
We opted to sit outside on the patio of the
IMPERIAL HOTEL
~**GOOD FOOD**~
and very pleasant waitress...
I can only imagine the ambiance at night with the string lights on
against the wood and stone surrounds...
Our lunch table was just below this fabulous
naturally time-worn flower painting...
It was almost like we were in a "grotto setting" with the tall
stone wall behind us...
A few ChiPPy-WHiTe Sightings
on-the-trip...
I always get so inspired from traveling!!!

IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD
