Thirty-four years later his son Waldo moved his family to Point Reyes, where Waldo's son Bob was raised. In 1959, Bob purchased a dairy farm three miles north of his parent's farm with a dream of making cheese. Now, he and his four daughters have done just that.

10 am "Turning Pages Special: Hungry Valentine, with Julia Child."
From Leet and Litwin. "The way to everyone's heart is through the kitchen," says Julia. And so here are a couple of love stories that have to do with love-and the kitchen. Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate tells its love story through recipes-recipes for ink, matches, sealing wax, and delicious things to eat. Judy Rodgers, chef-owner of the Zuni Cafe in San Francisco, takes us into her restaurant kitchen for a romantic recipe. Edna O'Brien has a story about fixing a meal for an important guest. It turns out to be a story of 'doomed' love. Before performing the story, Edna O'Brien takes us to her mother's farmhouse kitchen in Ireland, with the Mrs. Beeton's cookery book always on the counter. Julia has quite a bit to say about Mrs. Beeton's classic book-its advice about what the cook does, and the second butler-and how the recipes relate to the dishes prepared in the story. The program has been made possible in part by a grant from the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.
12-12:30 pm "Open House." Katie Eberle hosts Sonoma romance novelist Pamela Aares. Before becoming an author, Pamela had a successful career as an award-winning writer, producer, and director of PBS documentaries as well as the NPR radio series New Voices. Her books include Love Bats Last, the first in a four-part series that incorporates anecdotes from her own experience marrying a professional baseball player. Join us for a Valentine's Day discussion of love, writing... and playing ball.
