We never do. We're Kings fans.

Hi BeaLorene!

It's amazing that we're in the same state and the weather can be drastically different. My sister was a SoCal girl but moved to Sac after high school and Graduated from Sac State, now she's totally Northern Girl. When she comes down she makes fun of me when I'm cold and says "this is nothing!" Same with hot weather. Anyway, I see you're getting the warm welcome from KG our resident Chef Success guru along with Ann and a few others. You'll like it here most of the time. Glad you're here!

Hello Addie!

Spring is finally springing (or sprunging ) here! I love this time of year. The wildflowers and trees are flowering, but the weeds are holding back. It unfortunately means the beginning of allergy season. We're the Allergy Capitol of the US...if you don't have 'em when you move here...you will soon! I'm actually a transplant from SoCal. We moved up here in the early 70's from Orange County. I remember there still being orange groves and lima bean fields across from our neighborhood.

Hello Joy~
Hey, I've used your lovely newsletters when I first started with PC. I'm thinking that I need to rejoin. I just can't make them as nice as you and I think my customers are missing the pretty ones. It's nice to put a face (or should I say 'post') with the newsletters. I'm in Marcella Kvick's cluster (3rd line). Are you going to the Regional Training? Which reminds me, I still need to register...:chef: Enjoy our lovely weather..remember to pack that Claritin with ya!

 

[PampChefJoy]

I'm in Marcella's 2nd line. No, I'm not going to regional training... I'm 98% retired at this point. I have no time left to do cooking shows anymore -- spend all my time on the computer making flyers and newsletters lol.

Oh, and I take Allegra year-round... gotta love living in the valley.

Welcome!! :chef:

 

[BeaLorene]

So, Joy, I guess your job now is to 'pamper' us pampered cheffers and to make us look good, eh? You're doing a great job, too! And I guess we are cluster sisters, too.

Hello, Heather! Thanks for the welcome...I love this site! :balloon:

Hi again!

I work in Orange County two days a week and everyone talks about when there used to be real orange groves, strawberries and other crops all around. Now ofcourse it's all paved and filling up fast.

My mom took my kids 10 & 11 to visit my sister for a week in Sac since they're on Spring Break. They were looking forward to spending some time up north, this is the first time they're off without us. Feels weird to be alone with the hubby.

I feel for you if you get allergies, my husband gets them and they're not fun.

 

[BeaLorene]

When my kids were younger they would go on trips with their grandparents either to Washington or down to your part of the state to visit my sis. It always did seem so strange to be without them. Now is the time to look at your hubby and say 'Hi! Remember me?' If you are like us, your main topic of conversation will be the kids... I can tell you that they are going to have beautiful weather while they are up here.:balloon:

Happy Easter!:angel:

I'm glad for you - we have about 15" of spring on the ground right now, and it's still springing. It's okay, though, I have a big springblower on the front of my tractor.

Very funny...
