it makes me proud to be a central valley girl.

Beautiful! (As long as you're viewing from air-conditioned comfort.) Hooray for SJ Valley Girls.

true, but i love the dry heat...it feels almost medicinal. it's the humidity that kills me to the core !

The valley IS so beautiful. Those yellow hills and that blue of the sky, one of my very favorite landscapes.
The central valley gets called a lot of names(armpit of California, etc.) but i'm still proud to be from there, and happy to hear you are proud too!
Here's to central valley girls!

I love taking the train, but didn't realize there was one from S.F. to SLO. What a perfect little getaway.

P.S. Love your blog + line of wares
