Woodland Historic Home Tour

Thanks to my friend Kim for picking me up and driving to Woodland for the Historic Homes Tour. It was really interesting seeing the magnificent renovations and preservation of those old homes. Looking at the homes NOT on the tour I was impressed with the amount of work an older home requires. The exterior alone is a job, pressure washing, painting, there is not end to it.

Woodland has an historic walkable downtown main street with lots of shops, art and restaurants. Here is a link to a stroll through History: http://www.strollthroughhistory.com/

In 1926 one of the Woodland families opened a grocery store. They held a contest to name the store. The winning entry was Nugget Market.

Pictures - Not

Call me old fashioned but there is something that you will never see in my blog, too much personal info and pictures of my family. I am currently on assignment in California assisting son and daughter in law as they begin their journey as parents. A newborn keeps the house hopping that is for sure. No pictures and no names because any nut on the internet can read this!!
