A discovery of sorts

I was on my way to the nature center I mentioned the other day....driving through a residential area.....saw the little brown sign that said Historical Museum with an arrow pointing to the right.  I turned right...more houses...where is this place?...OH! I found it!

Hmmm....it doesn't say anything about a nature center but I'll go in anyway.


When I drove up to this building there was a sign in the window saying there was a day use charge of $3.00 but there wasn't anybody there to collect my money. What to do???? I drove in!


I parked the car and started walking around...


Ah, here we go...info!




This gorgeous old house caught my eye. While I was admiring it, I saw a sign posted that said the grounds were closed for restoration. Oops! I was trespassing! So I kept walking around, LOL.


Lots of old farm equipment...



There were some adorable baby donkeys beyond that fence. I didn't walk towards them because I didn't want the workmen to notice me and kick me out.


Here is a link with more into on the Jensen Alvarado Ranch

Something weird is going on with Blogger. It will not let me upload the rest of my photos no matter what I do. I will have to continue this post tomorrow. Phooey!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

MLB Food Fest

Image
The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt
