I lived on Fitch Mountain and bought some great Merlot at that Safeway in
Healdsburg... it's where I met my husband (no, not the Safeway..) and we'd
go bike riding along Dry Creek Rd... sigh
We lived on Neeley Road - on the other side of town... in the last big flood
Neeley all but disappeared - a big chunk of it slid away... I can't remember
the name of that restaurant either... I'm guessing you're talking about the
one next to the gas station that was only open during the 'season'. They had
great fish and to die for strawberry shortcake!
We moved from there over the hill from Calistoga into Lake County
(Middletown) where we shriveled up from 100 plus degree summers for the next
ten years.... what were we thinking???

Helen,
Have you been to the main branch of the Sonoma County library? They now
have a historical room which has all the original homestead info and lots
and lots of old pictures. It is really interesting for anyone who had
family there back when.

The mall here in missoula has one long hallway devoted to
missoulian history. Its kinda interesting. I like history, always have. Daughter
Naomi on the other hand is not too thrilled with it yet. Probably never will be.
She is more into music and wants to be a musician...how will I accomplish that I
have no idea since I don't have funds for her to have an instrument or lessons,
and our computer does not have a sound card or enough drive space to even put
anything new in it. I need a new computer totally, but cannot afford
one.
