Saturdays-Barela style

Saturdays in Chico are the best. Well at least how we go about them. After enjoying a slow start, an extended time in our jammies and our fill of cartoons we get dressed and head downtown. Our first stop is the Farmers Market that goes on every Saturday rain or shine. We fill our bags […]
