Aunt Nancy!

For the puppet shows up in the Grass Valley area, Tim and I stayed with Sean and Patrick's Aunt Nancy. She's got a great smile! And a wonderful, cozy place (I'd go up to GV, just to visit her again!). She came to our morning show at the Grass Valley library and I snapped this pic of her with Lady Fromage and the Goldfish after the show.

The lovely Lucinda! She's the librarian from Grass Valley and ran the show for us for both of our puppet shows that day (we did Nevada City as well). We had a lovely time because of Lucinda! She got a pic in the paper a few days before the puppet show (to drum up an even bigger audience) and she brought us lunch! What's not to love?! She's checking out the Boots' prop from "Rex and Boots: Super-Sleuths".

The shows were great and hanging out with Lucinda between puppet shows was a pleasure! I will certainly jump at the chance to do so again!

Grass Valley

The next stop on my photo tour was our shows in Grass Valley & Nevada City. I did miss a few shows along our summer.

This week was our busiest yet in the Bay Area! We arrived early (the day before our puppet show) and checked out the town. Grass Valley has a wonderful historic downtown area! It's very picturesque! Of course, we arrived so late most of the shops were closed! Tim and I did, however, managed to eat in the historic Holbrooke Hotel. It was a cute looking hotel and we'd have stayed there if we weren't already staying with friends!
