Yesterday (8/16/09) I went to a fun Italian feast at a park called Penn Grove. There were about 200 people who were having fun. They had BBQ chicken, roast beef, basil and tomotoe pasta, salad, and ice cream. The park was founded in 1852 probably by Italians. There was an old game or two being played at the park. People bought tickets for one game to win $100 - and the way the winner won was that they put a chicken into a pen with numbers on squares. The chicken pooped on a square and the winner who had that square number won the money. Another game was one which you played by placing a $1 on a square. And a big wheel of fortune was turned. If the wheel stopped on your number you won a salami or a bottle of wine.
I picked wild blackberries on the fence line and the Pomo Indians considered the strawberries sacred to their tribe. I will get them from Bishop's Ranch someday.
Let me know how you have had fun with your summer.........
