Get Along Gang at Milt's Coffee Shop

Oh oh oh, how we love the coffee shop and deli's.

Jacob, the old man among us, loves his
meat and bread usually plain.  Although,
he, like his mother, loves mustard.

Before leaving the Sacramento area
we stopped at Rim's Deli.
The deli is, not only a tasty stop,
conveniently located by
Noah's Bagels, a Raley's grocery, a credit
union and TJMaxx... perfection for our
traveling family.
 
Homemade meatball and sauce on a toasted
bun. 














French dippy goodness.














Old fashion burger.














Milt's Coffee Shop is located along side
the State Route (SR) 99.
If you want to travel quickly,
up or down California, take Interstate
5, but if you want to find nuggets of travelers'
gold: places of interest, old down towns, used
books, thrift stores and and antiques
then SR 99 is the ticket. These days, we are
less enamored with antiques, we are seeking
granny crafts and someone else trash.

A traveler's delight, the wall of state
plates.



Milk shakes, girl had the strawberry with big
chunks of strawberries and, our own personal
Dr. Copper, boy had chocolate.























And the speciality of the house,
pastrami,  cooked for 9 hours, with
chili cheese fries.

Spring.Voorjaar.Primavera

Pumpkin Collage is a multicultural experience.
Language, customs, stories, and food.
A sensory explosion.
Right now the garden is starting its own color, textural
and smell explosion.
























Immigrants, no matter how small their
garden, grow herbs, vegetables, and
flowers.  In pots or in the ground we
have to have some of the flavor of home.

The Portuguese like Meyer lemons, figs (figos),  passion
fruit (maracujá), guavas, heirloom tomatoes, grapes (uvas),
rosemary (alecrim), and flat leaf parsley (salça).

Visiting Prescott, AZ

Everyone's Hometown, Prescott, AZ

Not one person asked,
"You aren't from these parts are you?"
This is hometown bliss:
super friendly, super clean, with historical
downtown Whiskey Row.



 








































At home we rarely have time to go to
the movies.
In Prescott, we made time for two movies
Muppets Most Wanted
and Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

Totally luxury at the Picture Show theater.

















Seriously, every single seat.


Thrift stores, home cooking, and a book lover's
paradise.









































Peregrine Book Company

















The Hampton Inn accommodations included
this indoor kid friendly pool.
Swimming every day.

















Cute cottages all around.
