Some Pictures from my UPS Route Today

I had a beautiful 1913 Craftsman style home on Westside Road in Healdsburg, grew grapes and made wine, played with tractors and backhoes, short walk to the Russian River, surrounded by fabulous wineries, and these pictures remind me what a rare and wonderful part of the world Sonoma County is. Nevada County is terrific too, and all the posts from people complaining about California…so sorry, we see it differently.

Small world! I was the driver for Westside Rd. in Healdsburg from about 2009 until about 2013. I would be very interested to know the address of your old house; I have been to it many times.

Baxter (the brown dog) is really a character. He is hyperfocused on the dog biscuits.

He lives in a remote area at the top of a hill. He can identify the sound of my engine coming up the hill, and he always comes running out towards the road as I crest the hill.

Even if I don’t have a package for his owner, I stop and visit with Baxter. He would probably eat 100 biscuits if I gave them to them.
