Heading up to Twain Harte for the weekend? Be prepared. My first visit to Twain Harte was during the Twain Harte Summer Festival, there were people everywhere. The 33rd annual Twain Harte Summer Arts and Wine Festival will take place Saturday and Sunday in downtown Twain Harte.
You are sure to find something for everyone; young and old alike. The festival helps support our local volunteer fire department, so be sure to head up to Twain Harte bring the kids and enjoy the festivities. For more information pick up your free copy of the “Weekender,” published by The Union Democrat. You can find them at local businesses in Twain Harte and Sonora, turn to page 3.

The town has swelled in numbers as is usual for Memorial Day weekend. I had a good chuckle yesterday. You would have thought it was Friday on a holiday weekend. I could hardly believe how many people were shopping at the Twain Harte Market.

As I was checking out the produce section, I overheard one man telling another that it snows every month of the year here in Twain Harte. I don’t recall it actually snowing here in Twain Harte during the months of July and August but a little further up the hill and he would have it just about right.
I hope you brought your warm woolies this weekend, temperatures have been dipping down into the 40′s at night.
I’ve been talking to my mother, who still resides in Michigan. Here she is complaining about the heat and how temperatures have been in the 80′s. In fact, she finally turned her air conditioner on yesterday. It was just last week we put our portable heaters back in storage. So, with only one heater left here at the house, it’s been more than a little chilly.
The Twain Harte Lumber Store still has plenty of pellets if anyone is in need. I stopped in just yesterday and picked up a few extra bags to get us through the week. Temperatures are supposed to be down in the 40′s all week long. I can wait for the summer heat to hit.
Have a happy Memorial Day weekend. If you are looking for things to do this weekend, visit Annette’s Favorite Links.
It seems the older I get, the less I like to venture far from home, which means that my husband does most of the grocery shopping these days. Occasionally, I do like to get out in the sunshine.
Today, I decided to make a Market run. There is just something about the Twain Harte Market that I find warm and inviting. I have a terrible problem though. Each time I enter the store, everything flies out of my head. I can never remember what I was supposed to buy while I’m there. So, I try to remember to shop with a list. It helps.
Have you stopped into the Market recently? The new meat case is very snazzy but I have to admit, I really hate change. I failed to inquire as to the reason for the new case; perhaps the high end meat was being stolen from the case? I’m certain the new case will be more energy efficient, a closed case will hold the temperature better than an open case anyday.
While I think the cases are a wonderful addition to the store, the wonderful small 7 or 8 oz ribeye steaks have been replaced with huge 1 inch think ribeyes that must weigh more than a pound each. For someone who only eats 4 oz. at a sitting, more than a pound of steak is way more than overkill. I do hope they see fit to offer the more petite ribeye steaks in the near future.
If you haven’t been to the Twain Harte Market recently, stop in and check out the meat case. I noticed the seafood case was stuffed full of all sorts of delightful seafood. It seems I can’t shop there without checking out the seafood. It’s my favorite aisle in the store.
