California Dreamin’ & Magnolia Days
One of the best travel companions I have ever had just wrote a tribute post to a California trip we took a few years ago.
Renee Dobbs writes the successful Food and Lifestyle blog – Magnolia Days. She recalled a food memory to accompany a Blueberry Oatmeal Crumb Bar recipe. They sure look as good as the ones we ate in CA.
Food certainly accompanies the big memories in our lives. This trip was a great one.
My food memories of the trip were the fresh cheeses and locally grown ingredients all over Napa and Sonoma. Give me bread, cheese, salami, and wine. Done.
My new iPhone (3) was on me at all times – hating to lug a big camera, I captured what I could with it. I was happily surprised by the way they turned out.
I hope the Magnolia Days followers will enjoy seeing this “extended version” of Renee’s post about our trip.




















What a great trip! I’m so glad you took the photos to capture the fun of our trip and the beautiful scenery. It’s making me wish we were there right now.
It was a good time, to be sure. You were a great host and tour guide…
