Our Busy Week

After hosting 6 days of State Tournament at our ballpark, we had a few days to get the kids ready to go to Santa Barbara for baseball / softball camp. While they were at camp, Kevin and I spent a few days in Solvang, came back to work for one day and went straight back to pick up the kids. Morgan got out of camp on Thursday and Dalton on Friday, so we spent some time on the coast. We visited Solvang with Morgan then picked up Dalton on Friday and headed to Avila Beach. The sea lions were out, along with the pelicans and even some squirrels in the rocks. After stopping at the Avila Valley Farm to feed the animals (we washed our hands), we drove into Morro Bay for lunch. The beach was very windy on the north side of the bay, but the kids had fun collecting shells or little crabs.

We are finally at home again, Kevin is at work (his new shift is horrible) and the kids are at a birthday party with Nana. This week starts Regional Tournament in Kingsburg. Our 12 year old Central California State Champs face Guam on Monday. You know where we will be throughout the week.

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!

Although my story is not as dramatic as Tara's ordeal, it was somewhat frustrating. We arrived to vote and while looking at the back of the sample ballot to ascertain which table was our sign-in area, we were of course approached by a poll worker. This was not a problem, he was just being helpful, but he had a slight odor that was enhanced by the stifling heat in the building. The woman at the sign-in table had coke bottle glasses and had to get about 3" from the page to read our names. While we were going through the formalities, the previous man asked if we were computer savvy and would one of us like to try the new electronic machine. Of course we said yes, I had read about this trial run of the machines in our local paper and was eager to see how it all worked. He went to get it ready as we were receiving our ballots. As we watched and waited, 3 or 4 other poll workers joined him at the machine and all appeared to be somewhat at a loss of how to operate the machine. The co...

I' ll Drink to That!

Kevin and I went on a wine tasting tour with the local Lion's club this past Saturday (he's now a member). They chartered a bus and we went to 5 different wineries in Paso Robles. I have never really cared much for wine, but we learned that there are some that we both really liked. I discovered the sweeter type dessert wines are my favorites and that the more you let a wine sit and "breathe" the better the flavor gets. We had a great time with a lot of great people! You can definitely sign us up for the next trip. I am adding some of my favorites to my Christmas wish list. Tobin James -- Charisma Meridian -- Limited Release * Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc Eberle -- Muscat Canelli
