I hope everyone is still enjoying their Mother's Day celebrations.
This morning, my husband and I had a delightful breakfast. Although we had to wait for 35 minutes, the restaurant was bustling with customers, and the queues stretched out onto the street when we left.
I drove up to the Veterans Cemetery to pay my respects to my mom.
It was such a gorgeous morning.
Some of the views from where the cremation niche is at
Built-in 1886
We're leaving the cemetery and driving through Igo, a small Town with a population of 103 according to the 2020 census.
Here's the Inn when it was just a house -
This area appears to have been affected by past wildfires,
as seen in this old photo. It looks a bit smoky to me.
Drove a mile away, parked, and decided to walk down a trail in Happy Valley.
Enjoying the beautiful views of wildflowers around me.
It's getting warm.
I would like to construct a cute small house at this location, with that stunning view as my scenery.
During our journey back home, we made a stop at Horsetown/Clear Creek Gouge. This place has a rich history related to the gold rush. In 1848, Major Pierson B. Reading discovered gold on the creek, and soon, miners flocked to the area. Clear Creek Diggings, later renamed Horsetown, rapidly became a bustling town with a population of 1,000 by 1850. Unfortunately, most of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1868. Nowadays, it is a part of Redding.
This is my favorite spot for gold panning.
We haven't been in a while, but maybe this year...
I found this photo that I was saving for Mother's Day. It's a picture of my Aunt Reba with her triplets, two boys and a girl. She already had two little ones, making it a total of five kids for her. I wrote about my cousin Terry here.

Tonight the husband is making pizza.
All in all, it has been a pleasant day. No fuss.
I will post tomorrow about what happened at Navy's home last night.
Enjoy Your day Mother's - You deserve it.
