Friend time in Fullerton...

Annie and I have been friends since college orientation (August 1980). Since I had my own vehicle in SoCal, we had the opportunity for a girls' day, with a tiny bit of her husband, Bob included.

The day's plan was to just hang out at home, but while driving over, I saw signs for the Friends of the Library book sale. It was the perfect opportunity to take the dogs for a walk and to explore Fullerton.
In addition, it was the ideal opportunity for us bibliophiles to be in book heaven!
This book's title cracked me up. I regretted not purchasing it.
We strolled by an old warehouse which housed this interesting collection of yard stuff- pews and communion wine flagons.
And how about this Vixen, a recreational vehicle designed by Bill Collins and built from 1986 until 1989. A total of 587 Vixen motorhomes of three different types were built. This is the first time I had ever seen one. Wild stuff.
This was an interesting find. The Amerige Brothers’ Realty Office (1887) is the oldest commercial building in Fullerton. This simple frame building has had a complex history and was the center of business for the town’s founders, George and Edward Amerige. The building served many different functions, including a law office, a milliner’s shop, a barbershop, and eventually as a tool shed. History is everywhere.

Dinner began at 3 PM with an incredible selection of Italian delights from Cortina's Italian Market. Bob said goodnight early while Annie and I stayed up until almost midnight, catching up. It was a very good and much needed connection.
