Hartwell

We just tootled down to Hartwell (the town) to see something new and go somewhere different for a change, especially since Mike will be working a lot in the week to come. We crossed the huge dam and into the town. We ate at a little restaurant called "Siblings" (run by a brother and a sister) that had good food for reasonable prices. We drove past the town water tower that looks just like the one from old Gridley days - any family reading this will know what I mean. As dusk was falling, we circled the square, which is is typical of a small town. And one of the stores on that square bears our last name - because it was started by Mike's grandfather back in the 1930s or 40s. A little piece of Hartwell's history is our history too.
