About Me

My photo
Boy have I needed to come up for air. And now that I'm breathing again, I love the fresh air and world around me. God is great ... and as one of his creatures ... I know I am worthy of love and life!

Look out Napa ... Jan 2009












It was the WSRCA ... and Gary is on the executive board, and the meeting was in Napa ... at the Silverado Resort ... and he asked me to go with him ... me! My first time in Napa ... and to stay at such a gorgeous place! During the stay Gary introduced me to his fellow board members, and friends. During the day when Gary was in board meetings, I hung out with several of the other ladies who were there with their board member spouses ... Kay, Kim and Michelle ... all terrific women! Kim and I hiked some trails ... Kay and I went to the Castello di Amorosa in St. Helena. Wow ... wonderful place ... gorgeous. Gary played hookie from his board responsibilities one day during our week long trip to tour Sonoma with me ... he took in the HGTV Dream Home, did a chocolate tasting and also went to an olive oil tasting store! We also went to St. Helena to the Sutter Home winery because we heard they had a tasting of their alcohol free wines ... Fre. We ended up buying two bottles of alcohol free wine ... some truffles from the chocolate tasting and also three different olive oils and a delicious balsamic vinegar. We went through some of the most beautiful areas on our way to and from Napa.

New friends ... Pete, Greg, Michelle & Christian, Kim & Bill and Kay & Chuck ...


And then there was our wild and wonderful night out for a steak dinner and karioke!

Roofers are wild and crazy and I can't wait to hang with them again ... our next gathering is June in Reno ... See you all soon ...
