Route 62 Window Shopping

After we ate at the Route 62 Diner, we had to walk off out lunch so we stopped at an interesting shop that was part thrift shop and part artistic showplace. Right off the bat, I was intrigued by the eclectic collection of items!

These yard art cactus "plants" are very cool.



They had plenty of vintage fashions.



And look what somebody did with old license plates. You could even custom order them!


I fell in love with this little guy!


OK fans of retro - What's in the box?


Behold! A fancy desk phone!


This actually had me transfixed - I stood and stared at it for almost five full minutes. The details were intriguing.

 

There are some very talented people in this world. I love all of this odd metal work.


Who painted me???


Wait til you see this! These were from the late 30s early 40...toy kitchen items made of wood! BEAUTIFUL!



That wraps up my trip to the desert. Hope you enjoyed it!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

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

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
