Father's Day...and other Things...

It's Father's Day.  So many things are going through my head, but the one that stands out the most is those Fathers who've lost their Sons and baby Girls.  The loss of a child doesn't stop a Dad from being a Dad. Nor does it stop me from recognizing their efforts after those hard earned years.  I know Father's Day isn't happy for you anymore because you think about what you've lost, but please try to see Father's Day from the eyes of the children lost...They celebrate you and true love never dies. You are a Father forever!

I had a wonderful weekend in Wine Country. Today was a special tour through a very small amateur wine operation and some tastings...too fun. Afterward was a private tasting at a winery called Benovia.  The Zinfandel was to die for.  And then....

Dizzy went to spice heaven. There's a spice shop in Santa Rosa called Penzey's and it was the bomb! There were spices galore and I walked out with a few.  I love to cook and experiment. And for someone like me, spices open up a whole new world! Needless to say, I'll be having some fun cooking for awhile...too bad there's no one to cook for, but I still have the big BBQ coming up.  We'll see.

I went to lift something heavy this morning and I felt a pop in my back...not good.  It's been sore all day and I'm wondering what's going to happen tomorrow.  I need to get my ass back on the StairMaster after this weekend of wine and food.  UGH!!!  Also have a lot to do on the project tomorrow.  Things are heating up and this summer is gonna be a killer!
