To Covers

Just past Sonora is a great apple farm stop that we have enjoyed over the years. It used to be Czonka's apple orchard. Now is Covers. It has a really cool mini train to ride. The restaurant is run by the mennonite people and the apple pie is just wonderful.
Every fall we take a trip up there. We used to take the girls when they were little. It is about 60 miles away. On this trip, Sue and I get a chance to see the foothill scenery, drive through Sonora and get a mile high apple pie and some fresh unfiltered apple juice.
They are closed on Sunday, So we have to make a point to go on a Saturday. Sue and I decided to do it today, September 8th.
The trip was great. Sue got to use her powerchair independently in a gift shop (she is getting much better in the fine movements needed to navigate the aisles) and we shared a roast beef sandwich on German rye and had an apple turnover apiece. We were hoping from an apple dumpling,but alas they had sold out. The air was cleaning up there. We have been under a dirty air alert for a half a week due to the Morgan Hill fire by Henry Coe State Park and the effects of the Plumas fire up North. Our football games were all canceled moved to the other teams field due to the bad air. The Atwater team got a surprise three hour road trip to play its game in Nevada City.
All of us Asthma types were digging around for our rescue inhalers to take to work on Friday.
I choked a couple of times but not to the point I needed that. Tom's wife woke up in night and had to use hers.
Back to the apple farm.
The apple farm had reworked its little train for a longer trip. The route now goes up into the apple orchard and the apples on the trees are visible.
We had a great time.

Just a shout out of celebration to my neice Cammie who had a birthday this week. When I get a new address from her I will get something nice in the mail to her!

Love
Pat
