I found this article in the Outboud section of the Sacramento Bee yesterday and wanted to share it. I actually had a friend stop by the office today and she had rescued a biker out on Pleasants Valley Rd who was having problems with his bike. She loaded him into her truck and drove him into town to VeloCity to get the problem fixed. I asked the gentleman, Craig, if he had seen yesterday’s article and he said, yes, that was why he was in town. The last I saw him he was headed down to the Putah Creek Cafe for lunch. Little did he know John Pickerel was the guest on Kitty O’Neal’s Restaurant Talk today on KFBK 1530 at 3:30pm. It was fun to listen to John, great job, don’t think I will cook tonight! http://www.sacbee.com/2010/07/15/2890118/great-rides-out-past-winters-plenty.html
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!
- 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.
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!
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.
Well, it looks like this is my 102 blog! Never did I think I would make this day/blog. I have to admit it has gone by so quickly and it wasn’t as hard as I though it would be. I have actually enjoyed sharing what happens in Winters with you both real estate wise and just the fun things that happen in town. So, I will remind you that this Saturday is Youth Day. The fun begins with the Rotary Club Pancake Breakfast at the Community Center. Then the Kiddie Parade kicks off the parade at 9:45am at the corner of 4th and Main. Any kid can join in the fun, if you meet the age limits of course. Then the Main Parade starts at 10am. It is always a lot of fun and you never know who or what you are going to see. After the parade the festivities continue at City Park with lots of things for everyone. Be sure to come on down and enjoy the fun. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Check out the article that was found in a Marin County newspaper. Looks like everyone is discovering Winters. Thought it was a nice article and they got it all right!

I met a client at my office today who was so distraught when she arrived as she had been to Home Depot in Vacaville and had lost her purse. She was just sure it was gone. They had gone back to look for it but it was no where to be found. As we were meeting a nice gentleman came in to the office wondering if I knew the lady who’s driver’s license he held. I told him that I did and she was sitting in the back of the office. She was so relieved! He had found her purse in the shopping cart outside in the parking lot. He had taken the time to drive to her house in Winters but when he found no one at home he decided to come to my office. He had found my card in her wallet. It was just Divine design that she was in my office when he arrived. She wanted to give him some kind of reward but he wouldn’t hear of it so I asked him to please write his name and address for her so she could send him a note. So folks, we all need to “play this one forward” as the saying goes. I truly believe that when you do something nice for someone, it comes back to you ten fold. Have a fantastic week and enjoy the fabulous weather.
The Turkovich Winery on Railroad is having their Grand Opening this weekend. Be sure and stop by and take a sip or two of their delicious wines and cheeses. They are featured on the front page of the Winters Express, www.wintersexpress.com, if you want to read the article. The Syrah is one of my personal favorites. After some wine tasting there and at Berryessa Gap you can have a “small plate” at the Putah Creek Cafe. They have updated their menu for lent, I plan to try the crab cakes, one of my personal favorites. Then on to The Palms and hear Roland White’s All-Star Bluegrass Band, the show starts at 8pm. Have a great weekend, I plan to!
Well, I am really excited because there are two new listings this week! The first one is on Dry Creek Ln. I have shown it twice and it is really nice. It is over 1700 sq ft and has hardwood floors, a wood stove, nice large kitchen and large bedrooms. A very nice home built in 2002 priced at $292,000. The second house is on Red Bud and is a 2 story home with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It is in decent shape and has a nice sized yard with a koi pond. These one is priced at $262,500. Neither one is a short sale or bank owned property, how nice.!
