Our destination was the VITTLES FAMILY RESTAURANT located in Anderson, CA, at 2385 North Street, just off I-5.

A chance to see old friends, the ones you don’t want to lose touch with, maybe even ignite new friendships…..enjoying a delicious , nutritious (and complete!) breakfast, winning a raffle for the very first time…..leaving with a few baked goods to share with grand children. All this—and more—is to be had at 2081 Frontier Trail, Anderson, California, the location of the Frontier Senior Center.
