We are off to Lake Tahoe for an exciting and cold weekend! My son, Jack is bring some friends up which is always a lively time. Friend, Ben, is coming and bringing a friend who is flying in form PA for the weekend and Jack is bringing the new squeeze, Whitney. Jack met Ben his /Frosh year at Penn State and they have been friends ever since. Ben even followed Jack out to CA two yrs ago after he graduated. Ben settled in the LA area and is working for an accounting firm and loving the life style of sunny CA. We are looking forward to seeing him again as it has been awhile. Should be a weekend full of lots of laughs.

The WHS Class of 2010 will be walking the stage tonight at 7 pm at Seller’s Field. How exciting for these young people to be starting a whole new phase of their lives. I wish them all the best and good wishes for the future. For some they will be the first or the first generation in their family to earn a high school diploma. I am very proud of each and every one of you. I hope the weather holds for you too!

New listing on Main Street

Dave in my office has a great new listing on Main Street. This house is located in the core area of town and has single siding like a Bungalow. It has 2 bedrooms and one bath and a small basement. It has been remodeled and updated over the past few years but the current owner and the previous owner. If you are looking for a cutie in the old downtown area this could be the home for you. Let me know if you want to take a look?

PS Are you freezing? I sure am.

Capitol Trade Group Meeting

I attended the Capitol Trade Group monthly meeting today in Sacramento. I love these guys. We are a group of Realty World franchise owners who meet once a month to promote our area in real estate and brainstorm. Today we discussed the rally we attended in Stockton last month sponsored by Realty World Corporate. They had 4 wonderful speakers which inspired us all. We especially liked Shannon King who shared all her ideas on the latest techno things available to make our lives easier without spending much money. We also discussed short sales and foreclosures. Looks like I have some home work to do.

: The Corner of Railroad and Main, Winters

Well the Amgen tour just rolled through town in day2 of the tour. It is always so exciting to seem them roll/streak down Main Street. I am so lucky so they go right my office. This is always a fun event to watch. There was a very slight sprinkle when them came through town but it is dry now. Hope the weather holds as they ride by Lake Berryessa on Highway 128.

Bike races in Winters, CA

Sandy Vickrey — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:58:47 +0000

Well, this weekend is going to be very busy for downtown Winters! First of all there will be a bike race which will close a lot of the streets from 7 to 5pm on Saturday. The Winters Education Foundation is sponsoring a bike race that will “race” around the downtown area. I also heard that the Davis Bike Club is having their double centurion on Saturday, yes, they ride 200 miles in one day! Can you believe that ?! Count me in as a spectator only on that one. Then on Monday the Amgen tour rides through Winters sometime between 11:30 and 1pm. So beware of traffic delays but enjoy the fun. We are off to the Giants game in San Francisco. Most all of us are going to celebrate Mother’s Day. Should be a fun time. Go Giants!

Cruzin’ in Winters

Sandy Vickrey — Wed, 12 May 2010 00:04:39 +0000

Tonight Main Street will be closed off from 5-7:30pm for Cruz Night. So, bring your vintage car down and join the fun or do like my hubby and I do and check out the old cars. John sold his o32B Ford years ago and his sons will never forgive him. I used to call it his BS car (before Sandy). He finally paid someone to finish the rehab as he was never going to have time to get it finished in this lifetime. It was fun for a few years. We took it to Cruise Night in Woodland before that became a fiasco and he entered it some car shows. Guess those boys need to think about buying their own and making their own memories.

This is always a fun event and open to anyone who supports business in Winters, which is just about everyone I hope. The time iis 5:30-7pm. Hope to see you there. Have a good wek.
