Back in the day Mira Mesa Blvd ended a mile west of here and I use to ride my bike through uncharted wilderness. It was fun exploring vernal pools in the middle of nowhere. My bike got pretty dirty riding through the dirt and mud. Sadly those days ended when they paved Mira Mesa Blvd […]
Farm fresh produce
Williamson Produce
Sweet scent of strawberries fills the air. Luscious red berries so juicy and full of sweetness. It’s that time of the year. Strawberries are in season. The Williamson Produce stand is my fav spot in town to get fresh strawberries.
Santa Maria, CA
In 1931, the Santa Maria Club started a “Stag Barbecue,” which was held on the second Wednesday of every month, with up to 700 patrons attending each event.

Road trip San Diego to San Francisco Day 4
One of the things I really enjoy about San Francisco is the weather. I like how sometimes it’s sunny and the clouds and fog suddenly roll in.
Road trip San Diego to San Francisco Day 2
Highway 101. I remember the first time I went down this road. My brother was driving us to San Francisco to visit relatives. It was relaxing seeing cows grazing and farmers working their crops. So beautiful in contrast to the dirty downtown San Diego I was use to. So many wonders to behold just outside […]
