It was a good day at Sugarcreek. We brunched at Wall House, browsed and lunched at Lehman's, enjoyed iced coffee and a little ice cream at New Grounds Cafe then visited with friends and learned even more about the 400 at nüCamp.  Then it was time to ramble. The...

Each of our trips to San Francisco have featured a walkabout and this one’s no exception. This time it featured a fabulous meal at Scoma’s.
Back in 1973 we promised ourselves we’d visit Alcatraz someday. This is the day. We toured the buildings, read the interpretive signs, listened to the audio commentary, and came away with a deeper understanding of what this place represents with hope mixed in with the grim and gritty.
