It's been too long, I know. Like me, my computer has reached the dreaded age of maintenance. Of course I am not the prompt and apt individual who realizes there is a problem, and then immediately gets to fixing it. No not me. Though I must say, I am beginning to realize and even appreciate my own tendencies, only after years of scratching my head and wondering why I am not right there with everyone else. It's kind of like that whole Slow Food Movement, good things take their sweet old time.
Last Wednesday found us all needing a little magic and adventure, so I packed a quick picnic and loaded the boys up and off we went.
Jacksonville is a tiny little gold mining town that has plenty of charm and ease and is only about thirty minutes away. We laid about in a little park, ate lunch, bought the little person an ice cream cone, and did a bit of wine tasting. Then we decided why stop here, let's head out into the Applegate Valley see some sights, and hit up another tasting room. So we did and here's a bit of what we saw...
and of course, the view from the back seat....
We ended up stopping in at Troon Vineyard, where we sipped a bit more wine, laid in the hammock and played bocce ball. It was wonderful. We had the place all to ourselves on account of it being a weekday, and of course there was the impending storm....
And so here I sit, at my favorite place, thinking about our sweet day together...
