hang10tiki I will have to start shrinking them next year because they take up so much space!

Hamo I hope he likes the addition of the skinny bamboo. I shipped it and didn't tell him. It will be fun to see if he notices. Dan said to thank you for the suggestion.

Happy Valentines day everyone.

=====================================

More steps for the Sacramento Crawl mug 2018

We went to the state library to look through old phone books for tiki places. We started at 1912. I found my great grandfathers name in that book. He said he had one of the first 99 phones in Sacramento. The phone books prior to this date were for phone numbers of three states not a city. I think he told the truth.

We found this place and then looked and didn't find it mentioned here in Tiki Central. Does anyone have any information about this place to share? It didn't last long it wasn't in the next phone book.

We drove to the address and all we found was a foundation.

I started by cutting off the front of one side of the volcano. Using a carved and sanded chop stick I copied the style of the name.

Done.

I began to add clay to the front.

Not a door, similar, but more of a monument.

Next I copied the tiki from the phone book ad.

I put him on the front and then decided that he didn't look impressive enough.

So I chose a place on the side of the volcano and dug a hole and

pressed him into place. Historically he's there but the front needs to be better.

Now it's time to celebrate Valentine's with my sweetheart. Cheers, Wendy
