Becky's Golden Birthday...

Becky celebrated her 27th Birthday on Nov. 27th. Ruby choose a front row seat in case Mom needed help blowing out the candles.

Sometimes it's hard to find a smile... huh, Ruby?

Thanksgiving Day...

Hmmm. Where to begin? Organic, free-range, never-frozen turkey, smashed russet potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, baby carrots, fiddlehead, bread stuffing, cranberry dressing, artichoke and spinach dip, grilled portabella mushrooms with cheese and spinach.

Oui, Wii... it's me!

No story... just a picture of my Wii Mii. A good likeness.... don't ya think?

(Thanks to the artistry of my niece, Sadie.)

In this image, I'm in the 'remedial' golf class, but I'm getting better... more or less... (more less than more.)

Napa Valley Saturday drive...

To my surprise, several vineyards I passed yesterday had yet to be harvested. The grapes have begun to loose their moisture and are on their way to becoming raisins. I wonder if these grapes were deemed unsuitable and left on the vine?

Or perhaps they're for a sweeter, post-frost havested blend of wine? I was tempted to sample a small handful. (Surely no one would notice this vine was a few grapes short?) But I thought, better not...




Golden rolling hills of California flank the vineyards of the Napa Valley.
