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!

Every resort needs a slide like this

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.

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:

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!
