tonight we walked Madison Road in Oakley, the community just up the street from us. We took a side street and went to the local thrift store (and bought The Illustrated Treasury of Children’s Literature, Shrek, and a shirt for John. The book and shirt were both half off, too.).

It was warm tonight, so walking got rather tiring, but Oakley is a beautiful old area. There are some really wonderful little shops, a childrens book store, a toy store, a great old-time ice cream parlor/candy shop, as well as a bank building from 1904.

We had dinner at Kona, and really enjoyed it. It was a little bit pricey, but tasted amazing and was quite filling. Yummy place.
