We live in South Land Park in south Sacramento in the 1960s.

Down along the Sacramento River, south of the Zoo, the land was all sand.

We live near the "Captain's Table", a restaurant on a barge and the famous "Minnow Hole" on the river.


My dad planted a cherry tree that got pretty big and had thousands of cherries, to die for.

We were definitely a spoiled family when it came to cherries..........
