Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one says, 'oh my it's getting late'
The second one says, 'there are witches in the air'
The third one says, 'but we don't care'
The fourth one says, 'let us run and run'
The fifth one says, 'I am ready for some fun!'
Oooooohhhh went the wind and out went the light!
And, five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

We stopped by the Goose Club last Friday evening to enjoy hearing the crowd sing Karaoke with Charlene and Beth and also say hello to owner Carl Zagar behind the bar. I have a memory of "way back when" our mom used to call for a pizza "to go" from the Goose Club. Does anyone else remember those days?
Jolaine Beers placed her order for 4th of July fireworks at the River City High School Booster Club stand on Jefferson Boulevard near Whitey's.

Be sure and buy your fireworks from one of the non-profit sellers in West Sacramento.
