Knit One... Purl Two

Sacramento -- During the last six years, these cozy crocheters -- Jean Nakano, Karolyn Simon and Cheryl Allen -- volunteer at St. John's Shelter for Women and Children teaching residents the art of knitting and crocheting. Today, the project has 12 volunteers who share their love of creating handmade delights with many women and children who find safety at the shelter.

Thin Mints Are Here!!!

Sacramento -- Girl Scout cookies are (finally) here -- but only until Sunday, March 17.

Or, until they sell out... a sad fact I experienced last year.

Locate dates, times and locations where these fabulous once-upon-a-year treats are sold at www.girlscouts.org and enter your zip code to find Thin Mints and other delights!

Remember -- when Girl Scout cookies are gone, it's an entire year before they appear again.  Stock up now!  (You'll thank me later.)

Railroad Museum to Commemorate Historic Date in Railroad History

One hundred and fifty years ago – on January 8, 1863 – California Governor Leland Stanford turned a ceremonial shovelful of earth near the intersection of Front and K Streets in what we today know as Old Sacramento.

Featured speakers include the following: Dr. Richard Orsi, author and professor emeritus of history at California State University, Hayward; Kyle K.
