Dec. 17, 2014 -- 'Twas the night before...

Well, not quite the night before. But tonight... a quarter inch of really wet slushy slippery sleet, only 32 degrees, but slickery.

Elf emerges from desk drawer portal, was lost, now found. Communications established. What I want for Christmas, ...

Love this Christmas present!

Happy Birthday, J. T. G. !

Happy birthday, Jason! Our Missouri "other kid", spent lots of time sleeping in the spare bedroom... (under the kitchen table, in the front room - dining room - entertainment room). He trained with the master, learned to help with the "chores". Now he lives out west where there is no water so ya have to make your own beverages, and he flies "alternative" aircraft without leaving the ground. Hey, kid... have a good birthday, and train the newby in the old ways! Well, let Shelby grow up a little bit first!
("Footnote" ... I forgot, Fonda... did he wash his feet first?)

Great photos, big crowd, nice speech. Show runs all through September.

Yes, Sharon, that's your brother Sonny having tea with Amelia!

Happy accident... caught the little boy's reflection!

Joyce weaves a wonderful tale about the year in the life of the vineyard.
