Momma's Vino


To all of my loyal readers: Drink this wine! I am posting this beautiful label as a friendly reminder. This is actually a current favorite of mine, and the pros. It has been written up more than our other wines. With my co-worker Amy's leaving, I am now the Sales and Marketing Director- doesn't that sound official- and so my #1 priority here at the winery is to sell more wine. Okay. I gotta get back to work..... p.s. goes great with barbeque!

Cookie Man

Too many flowers to water... But this cookie is too good to put down. Guess I'll just hold it here in my mouth!

Call the Doctor


Gee, does it look like Gus has enough Thomas stuff? He loves this phone that the Ike's gave him. He talks to all sorts of people on it- imaginary, mostly I think.
On Sunday, Gus had a pretty bad fever and it continued into Monday night. Tuesday it wasn't so bad. The Doctor said it was just a virus. This morning he woke up with a really bad rash on his face, and by this afternoon it spread to his entire torso. From all the childcare books I have just referenced, it is typical Roseola. A common virus that causes a rash after the fever, and clears up hopefully in 1-2 days. Thank goodness for Dr. Spock. (And the internet, too.)
We are headed for the big O'Brien family reunion at Mount. Rainier bright and early tomorrow AM, so hopefully this rash clears up quick. The poor guy just looks ill, but is acting close to normal. I didn't take his picture, because it isn't very becoming on the little man.
But I did give him a pretty good haircut this week. More pictures to come...

It has been a while....

Two sweet treats for two sweeties. Gus and Kaycee at the WWF (Wintrhop Wine Festival) the weekend of June 23rd. When grownups get wine, kids get suckers. Its just that simple.
Here fishy, fishy, fishy.
Here are Dad and Gus assembling the trike Gus recieved from Grandpa Dick and Grandma Connie for the big number 2. Unfortunatley, his feet can't quite reach the pedals, but I figure two more months of this hot weather, peanut butter sandwiches, and lots of fresh water will get him there.
