Good Morning Friends
Good Morning Friends!
We’re getting closer and closer to that day when kids go crazy and parents go crazier. Although most of the parent and grandparent craziness is happing right now while shopping. I know we’re going through it as I type.
I just wanted to let you know that these last few issues have been light in the content area and for that, I apologize. With this thing going on in my brain I’m finding myself tired most of the time and just wanted to sit and do nothing.
I promise I’ll get back on track (Patti has never been off track, she’s giving me space and time to heal) after the break mentioned below and we’ll ramp this newsletter back up to where it always was.
Hope you’re having a great Holiday Season and enjoying this week’s California Mishegoss. We will publish one more issue, after this week for the year then we’re taking a little time off. Just for Christmas and New Year. We’ll be back on the 7th of January in 2023.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year one and all from Patti and me!
But, for now, we have you covered with new places to eat, drink, and visit so get to reading.
Be Well! Stay Safe! Happy Shopping!
Mark & Patti

Ice Cream for Life
I became a fan of It’s-It on a business trip to San Francisco years ago. While on the trip I met some great people who I still keep in contact with today who introduced me to this unbelievable ice cream treat. To this day I still look forward to an It’s-It.
But for more about this San Francisco treat read this story in the SF Gate from Stef Rodriguez.
