Herman and Helen's foreclosure auction?

After a busy Saturday with a memorial service for a long time sailing friend  who'd sailed to Hawaii with Matt in '08, followed by a trip to church for a confirmation then a post confirmation party in San Jose, we got to pineapple girl near midnight last night. We headed over to Tower Park this morning and were underway in the little boat around 10am. We hadn't been to Herman and Helen's for awhile and figured we'd see if they were open for breakfast. 

It didn't look too promising as we pulled up but we tied up behind the restaurant building anyway. There was a man fishing in the docks and he said "you know they're closed." After chatting with him for a bit we finally came to understand they weren't just closed, they were CLOSED. Apparently they've been foreclosed upon and the property is going up for foreclosure auction??? This is HORRIBLE news. Herman and Helens is a delta institution!! We will definitely be on alert for updates on this siutation. 

We ended up heading back to Rosa's at Tower Park for food and had lunch. They don't have a breakfast cook right now and are looking for one. After we ate we headed up the south fork of the Mokelumbe to Wimpys where we stopped in briefly to discuss plans for the Ox Bow small boat cruise in June. Then back to Tower Park where Jack commented we hadn't been gone long. Seemed like a full day to us!! 

On our way to wimpys we saw a horse walk down the bank into the water! Apparently he was thirsty?!?
