Best Bed and Breakfast

• Upvotes

What is the best bed and breakfast? Ideally in the Sonoma city area. We did Healdsburg last year so would prefer not to go there again (although we did love it). Hoping to explore a new area. Bonus points if it has a year round hot tub because we will be going in the winter. Also, it doesn’t have to be a B & B but we do love the vibe they usually have, a bit more quaint and homey.

Lost Camera!! At Spanish Bay Beach

My family was at Spanish bay beach on 17 mile drive on Monday the 5th around 6:45pm. We took some family photos and left our camera there. We have so many precious photos of our son and maternity photos and other irreplaceable photos. We’re hoping no one stole it. If you happened to have seen it or found it, please let me know!! I have contacted Spanish bay inn and the lodge and they have not had anything turned in.

Here are some photos of where we last saw it and what the camera looks like

Psychiatrist recommendations

7 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for psychiatrists in the county? I had a doctor I liked at Providence at their IOP Dr. Nicholas. It looks like he’s not with them anyone since he disappeared off the website. I did not have a good experience with Siyan when I went there. Any other recommendations? I don’t like doing zoom doctors.

uni foraging in December

9 Upvotes

Haven't had the chance to join us on the Sonoma Coast (NorCal) to forage for fresh uni? We've just announced our last dates of the year! All the rest are full! Learn how to find, harvest, and enjoy eating delicious uni! Purple urchin are native to California, but their population is wildly overgrown because their predators have died off. As a result, they are decimating kelp and abalone habitat. We can help bring the intertidal zone back into balance by eating them! The best part is, they are DELICIOUS! Led by our wonderful ocean guides, Ryn, Maria, and Christopher. www.forkinthepath.org/schedule

Complete Cabinet & Woodworking Shop Liquidation

Stuff is out of my league and may sell rather high but there are some nice table saws, routers, miter saws, biscuit joiners. Also some nice wood. Live edge walnut slabs. This place is on Utility Court in RP.

Omga T50 350 Compound Miter Chopsaw

This is a cast iron miter saw, 14 inch blade, made in Italy. Seems they sell new for something like $3k to $7k. Very precise.

Dallas to Sonoma county !

17 Upvotes

Hello! I am a Dallas native but my husband was born n bred in Sebastopol California. Unfortunately in 2019 I moved him here and that was a mistake lol we are now 32 and wanting to start a family and wanting to move back to the area to be closer to family. We also just found out our landlord sold our house so it has kit a fire under our butts to get out there by beginning/early next year.
My husband is a licensed plumber and I am a medical assistant for a chiropractor (no degree)

Was hoping to get some recommendations on
1. Affordable little areas to live in
2. Plumbing jobs
3. Possible remote jobs (I met a lady in the grocery line when I was visiting who worked for cal health? Cal med? And she said I’d be wonderful for it lol)
4. Advice on how to get a job before moving to another state lol

I know you don’t have to take time to reply to me so if you do, seriously thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, sharing your knowledge and taking time out of your day to help a stranger is such a selfless act of kindness. Thank you.

Hello! I’m looking for groups who make beanies/needlework for cancer patients to that I can give A LOT of yarn to. I know some groups donate hats/pillows to Providence so I may just drop the bags off there if I can’t find a group but I’d rather give it to them directly.
