Bye bye Brigden Vineyards
On Sunday, October 16, Mom and Mick held a going away party for Brigden Vineyards, the home and vineyard they lovingly created from the ground up... Within two weeks, Mom and Mick will move to a new home and start turning its grounds in to an even more lovely setting than this... So long Brigden Vineyards -- you are a beautiful place!

Davey had the BEST time on this slide. This experience, alone, made the cost of a night at the Marriot worth it.

Hiking the waterfall trail with Deb
We had a great time hiking the Waterfall Trail on Saturday. We didn't expect to take that hike, which is 3 miles long and has a 500 foot elevation climb. However, we ended up on that trail with Davey happily trucking along 90% of the time, looking for the waterfall. Now that it's raining (as I type this), he's eager to get back to see more water in the creek.
Cleaning the orange juicer
So eager to try what we found in storage, he lugged it to the bathroom on his own to clean it.

Got his letter mailed to Santa!
On December 23rd Mark, Bonnie, Davey and I went for a day in downtown San Francisco. While waiting to get in to lunch at Cheesecake Factory, we wandered about Santa Land on the 7th floor of Macy's. While there, Davey sat down and drew a picture of Santa on a postcard and popped it in to the Santa Mail Box. Yay!

Our house guest for a couple days
Davey and I are dog sitting Travis, Mom and Mick's dog, for a couple days. While allergy testing shows Davey is allergic to cats and dogs, we're giving this a try to see how he does. Travis, besides, is the sweetest and most well behaved dog I can imagine.
This morning we all went for a walk to Peets and Noah's for lunch. Davey was on his bike and Travis on a leash. Everyone had a grand time. Now it's nap time but later this afternoon we will go for another outing to Pioneer Park for more bike riding and walking.

Halloween Loot!
Yes, it was a good Halloween! Davey liked his trash truck costume, he had a great time with Grandma Bonbon while she took him trick-or-treating and told him "the story of us." He got a nice haul of candy, too! There was plenty he couldn't have (milk containing candies) but there was also more than enough that was "safe."
Here's a bit of video as Davey and Bonnie left to go trick-or-treating:
And here's how our house looked. Earlier in the day Bonnie drew designs on the pumpkins and I did the carving and gutting.

Ubuntu says Happy Birthday Davey!
A surprise dessert for Davey from Ubuntu of passion fruit tapioca and coconut sorbet. We had supper there, and Davey was SO patient and good over the two hour meal, the night before his 4th birthday.

It was a really fun class where we learned to make rhubarb shrub, rhubarb liqueur, strawberry vodka, rhubarb bitters and lime/jalapeno tequila. All concoctions were fantastically delicious!
Inspired by the class and the season, I went home and quickly made my own batches of the tequila, strawberry (with black peppercorns and vanilla bean) vodka and rhubarb liqueur.
Today, faced with a tree full of lemons, I started a batch of limoncello, which left me with a lot of lemons to squeeze. What did I do? I made lemonade! Then, having just fine filtered the rhubarb liqueur and bottled it, I thought it high time to make a cocktail. This is a first experiment but dang, it is SO good, I think it will not require further tinkering.
Ladies and gentleman, without further ado, J
essica's Spring Lemon Martinimy Pink Spring Daisy!Ingredients:
2oz fresh lemonade
1oz strawberry vodka
1oz rhubarb liqueur
Put crushed ice in a cocktail shaker, add the lemonade, strawberry vodka and rhubarb liqueur. Shake vigorously. Strain in to chilled cocktail glass.
Shades of the best strawberry sorbet you've had, but with a magnificent buzz.
Try it, you'll like it!
