I am just back from a trip to Chicago and Wisconsin to visit with some of my family. Here’s a picture of my two college girls on an architectural boat tour of Chicago. Nothing beats spending time with grandkids.

On Saturday I will be at the History Keepers and Seekers Rendezvous at the Tehama County Museum, in the town of Tehama, just west of Los Molinos. It’s a fun event with something for every history buff, from spinning and weaving, to flint-knapping, to antique cars and trucks. Live music! Great raffle prizes! Don’t miss it.

I’ll be there with other authors. It’s a great chance to meet the writers who bring history alive. I’ll have my books and books from the Association for Northern California Historical Research for sale. Come and say Hi!

I’ll be at the Dairyville Orchard Festival too, on Saturday October 21st. More music, plenty of yummy food, and artisans from around the North State.

On Tuesday, September 26th I’ll be speaking about local history to the Durham Rotary Club. If you need a speaker for your group, let me know. I love sharing history.
