What is all that noise?!

Ah yes, plasma cars...

Wine Tasting in Southern North SLO County

Our first order of business for the day was Ancient Peaks Winery, a favorite of Bob and Sandy. After that, we had a list of about 8 wineries in the southern end of north SLO county from which to work. We actually made it to Ancient Peaks, Pozo Valley, Frolicking Frog, and Rotta (run by the Rotta family since 1908). Another great day of discoveries.

At left, the winemaker/goldsmith at Frolicking Frog pours their Jumpin' Jehosaphat blend. The cab and cab franc were quite tasty as well.

Father's Day Hot-Dog-a-Thon at Nipomo

But, of course, you'll only see photos of the kids. How does that happen? And we fathers certainly enjoyed the bonfire afterwards (not pictured).

Fawning Over the Railroad

Oh my gosh. All of a sudden Serafina and I saw a deer walking past our bedroom door. And right behind her, the fawn! They didn't seem very bothered by the two of us, who actually went out the door and stood on the patio watching them walk across the railroad, up onto the planter, then back down onto the railroad, behind the hot-tub, and back into the woods.

Trev's Birthday Dinner

The kitchen got its first real workout of any kind today. And it did really well other than the fact that we couldn't find stuff, didn't have "staple" ingredients around, etc. All we had to make a ceasar dressing was some really fine olive oil. So, we just baked some bread and dipped! It was the fruit pies, though, that made the kitchen sing. Or vice versa.

An Evening at the Children's Center

Just like you'd want a preschool Promotion and Acknowledgement program to be - short and sweet. The kids really were pretty cute, and the goodies at the reception were pretty sweet, too. Matteo and AJ go to this preschool, though neither was "graduating" tonight, and Serafina is an alumnus, so we all related to the festivities.

The Devil Made Me Do It, Honey

The first "cooking" in the new kitchen was to make what?... Deviled eggs! Well, actually Robob got the honor of the first kitchen activity when he heated up some soup. But, if there's no camera there to catch it, did it really happen?
