What a fun day we had today. We didnt have anything planned going into the weekend, and John got up this morning and asked if we were going to do anything today. I suggested we go to check out Johns Incredible Pizza for Jess's Birhtday next week. Neither one of us had ever been there, and frankly, i was expecting something like Chucky cheese. I really wasnt looking forward to this.
John also suggested we go find one of our favorite winemakers that moved his shop. We thought we knew where he moved to, but we couldnever find it. so last week, john lookewd it up on the internet. Wow, it is way far away from anywhere we had been. I twas up in the foothills. It took a while to get there, but we finally found it. yippee. We had packed a lunch, thinking we would find a place to have a small picnic. We picniced in the car on the way home. i was starving.
Anyway, while we were looking for the shop, we saw a historicla marker directing us to a pioneer graveyard. i told John i wanted to see it, so he turned around, and we went back and saw it. I will post another blog with pics and slideshow. I havent downloaded the pics yet. it was sorta sad really. The people that were buried there were no older than thirty. There was only about six old graves, one communal grave from some taht had been moved from a diffewrent location which is now under water. And there were three graves more recent. It was very small. It was just sort odf out in the middle of nowhere. Ok, so i said good by to the spirits and off tothe winery we went.
He had some new wines and also some of my favorite almond champaigne. He let me taste that first, then second, then thirds. Oh yumm. I did taste al his reds, cus they are really good. I wanted to get two bottles, but John sais get a case. He sells hios for ten a bottle, but by the case its 8. cant beat taht deal witha stick. Saturday mornig mimose, here I come. every week for the next twelve weeks. yeppers. love this stuff. John did get two bottles for himself, and i also picked up a small old ceramioc pot. It looks like it might be a small chamber pot, like for a child. It probably not, but I liked the shape and color.
After we got home and relaxed a bit, we did go see the pizza parlor. this is gettin sortao long, so I will just say it is much better than I expected. i will be happy to haVE Jesse;s party there nexr week. We then went out to dinner at a new Mexican place. It was also Yummy. Now I am stuffed here at home, writng to you.
I did get the rooms cleaned up and the bed blown up for Andy and Tania. I am just a little excited, can you tell? Ok, see ya when i download the pics. I have to do it onmy other puter.
