My Visit to Stockton!
Long overdue, I decided it was time for a Stockton visit. My first stop was hanging out at Caltrans TMC (Traffic Management Center) with CHP Officer John O'Neil. His wife Maria dropped by with Minnie, Belle and Disney, their little doggies. Maria made peanut butter cookies and salsa for me to take back. I shared the cookies with co-workers and they were a hit! I am still waiting for her recipe!!! Thank you Maria!
After visiting John and the nice folks at Caltrans, we moved the truck to March Lane near I-5 and parked in front of Marie Callender's. Loved that so many people stopped by... and here are the pics! Thank you for all the baked goods too!
Daniel dropped by with his son Mark, nephews Nathaniel and Julian, Niece Elysia and thier friend J.J..
Lumpia competitor and friend Eileen Ramirez brought me delicious chicken adobo! She brought her husband John, brother-in-law George and grandson John John. The food tasted wonderful! Salamat!
Boe Lehrer came by with the Beatles' Yellow Submarine movie and Dale Fleming dropped off a flyer for the Stockton Powwow that was held this past weekend at UOP.
Lisa Rice stopped by to wish her son Eric a happy birthday and Bill Chavez brought his dog Rickee to entertain us with tricks.
Kim Kelso wanted me to come by Toot Sweets Bakery Cafe across the street but we had to head over to our next stop at Mezzo. Debbie Martin brought over BBQ sauce her husband Felix made.
