    My sister has lived in Los Altos,California for 40years and whenever I have visited their produce was always fresh and locally sourced certainly not imported!!!

    California is fortunate to have fresh produce year round due to their climate. Here in NH, we only get local grown produce in the summer and part of the fall. The rest of the year we each fresh produce brought in from out of state and even out of the country.

    As for the weather and its changes, we have a saying here in New Hampshire, "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes?" and sometimes, that's as long as you have to wait. Weather is a great topic of conversation around here.

    I do and I have a collection of English movies. I was raised in Belize when the British were still there and acquired a taste for certain things, like hight tea.

    My two sisters migrated over there and I have a bunch of nieces and nephews. One is coming for Thanksgiving with his wife and son. I know them all, as I took a trip and took my boy to meet some of this family and that was some 25 years ago. Yes the frig was tiny and so was the water heater. I found that out when I thought I would take a hot soak lol.


    The milk man delivered egg, and milk. I had her get extra milk...it was soooo good.

    I too love the British Comedies! Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served, Last Of The Summer Wine, and one of my favorites is, As Time Goes By!
