Acres of fun 'Eat, drink and get a pumpkin at Bishop farm in Wheatland / Dingler, Nancy [469] [RETROSPECT-2001-469] Wheatland, I answered the call of my grandchildren, "Can we go pick our own pumpkins?" Being an indulgent grandmother, I wanted to find the greatest pumpkin patch on the West Coast, as long as it was within a day's reach, that is. Serendipitously, a story appeared on the TV about the great pumpkin farm in Wheatland. It was destiny - meant to be. With a little research, I mapped out the path to the glorious Bishop Pumpkin Farm with 72 acres of fun and pumpkins. Detailed record - Similar records

Admiral Farragut: a stellar military career / Dingler, Nancy [468] [RETROSPECT-2001-468] The name Farragut can certainly ring a bell; he was the oft-quoted person in history class who said, "Damn the torpedoes!

Cries of ghost entwined with fate of mill / Dingler, Nancy [467] [RETROSPECT-2001-467] The remains of Dingley's flour grist mill stands forlornly vacant, almost hidden from view by the century and a half of wild overgrowth.

The vacant windows stare out at a world that has passed the grand old mill by. Detailed record - Similar records
