A Salad Book, and a gorgeous salad bowl:
Pyrex, etc. 
A neon Coors sign:
That's just a glimpse of some of our items for sale.
Old Murphy place. There is a Mount Murphy which stands above Coloma but I don't know if it is the same Murphy. Very likely though.
Alfred and Kate Spargo. I love their nice big porch. They need to get busy with a weed eater though.
Roelke home and hotel built 1880s.
Joseph Smith residence. Son of Pegleg Smith. There's a story there, I will have to dig it out sometime.
Old Kelsey Post Office. We don't have a post office now, Placerville delivers our mail. They do a good job of it, but it separates Kelsey from all the other communities of the Georgetown Divide. Even our newspaper, the Georgetown Gazette, which is published on Thursdays, doesn't manage to reach our door until as late as the next Tuesday some weeks. It makes it hard to get to garage sales before all the deals are gone!
Rossi home, Chicken Flat.
Tom Allen's place.
The Kelsey church. When we first moved to Kelsey we voted in this church. Now there are so few people in our precinct that we can only vote by mail.
This sweet floral tea/coffee set was a Salvation Army find:
You couldn't really see it very well in that photo - here's a close-up:
I found a bright and beautiful vintage fiberglass tray:
Some vintage decals, a California bungalow postcard, and a piece of sheet music I didn't have - I LOVE that song:
Well, I'm at it again......
And 1982:
And I just had to include this shot of my own vintage Gunne Sax skirt, which happens to have sold recently. I felt rather sad about letting it go::
And this pattern for a girl's version of a similar skirt, which I found at a thrift store.
Hope you enjoyed this little trip down Gunne Sax lane!
Yesterday I was in a play at the Placerville Shakespeare Club Social Meeting. We had been rehearsing since December. In April each year we celebrate Shakespeare's birthday.
Last Thursday we had our dress rehearsal. We were awful. I completely blanked on all my lines, I had known them perfectly the night before! I dreamt about the play all the night before, and then NOTHING. Our director took pity on us and allowed us to read from the script. I would share a few lines with you but after reading about the copyright I am terrified of doing so, so you will have to take my word for it that it was very witty. The author Justin Moran had fun with it!
Yesterday, at our first and only public performance, everything went perfectly! This little ten minute play (which we took 25 minutes to put on - go figure!) was written in Dr. Seuss style, mostly in rhyme. It follows the story of Hamlet, as he discovers his uncle has killed his father and married his mother. At the end everyone on stage is dead, except my character, Horatio.
We had a great time, got a standing ovation and lots of laughs, and now I can take a deep breath and look towards Easter. We are going to dig out our few decorations and check the freezer for a nice big ham.
Cheshire Cat is on his favorite place, my lap...
Robbi likes it outside where he can keep an eye on the deer and turkeys.
Here's hoping everyone has a great Easter. I am looking forward to enjoying our neighbors' eggs nicely hardboiled, and our ham, which is from pork we purchased from friends in February.
