Dear Friends,
Another day in paradise, and we wish you were here! Have you been following our winter weather? Incredibly mild. Today, mid- February we hit over 60 degrees. So, if you want a great get-away, come to Groveland. There is nothing more stunning than Yosemite at winter!

So much is happening this winter!

Annual Recipe Research Update: We are back and did lots of eating, mostly in California, but we did spend one weekend in Vegas, WOW! We will spend the next couple of weeks sorting through our notes and then make a few changes to the menu, maybe even try some items out as specials to see if you enjoy them as much as we do.

Lots happening in the next few months and I hope you can join us for one or more of these marvelous events.
