Thursday November 19, 2015

 
as usual a lot of things has happened.

Josh was away so I had a few questions when he came back. I am a control person..............we are ready

Pat wants to give our employees a few days off, per week.............

we had a Corporation meeting today, I hear it is required...........

So I want to go to Europe one more time............I have not been since 1975..........wow what a time. I have to remember...........wow, Pat and I were only married 2years when I planned a time to Europe..........Joe, great friend was there in Rome so that made it easier. Joe was on assignment for the government..............Joe and Marlene set us up for a time in there incredible place. It was the first time, believe me, no one knew about Marble then.......I could not believe the place they got to stay..........Wow, the first thing I saw was character, you could not see again...............the Marble entry way was different than any thing I had seen.........wow, it had markers where all the people had come in for many, many years. Marble shows every things, because it is not as hard as Granite. Marble has much more character. I have Marble in my entry way in our main house..............I see no marks on my floor, so think about it, the house they stayed in had been around for many years...........And it was 80 degrees outside and the house with that much stone was a stable temperature., cool..............

So this is now 8:15 pm on Thursday. I drove Pat down to get a bus to San Francisco and she will go to  Cal Stanford game. I have been to many. This could be Pat's first Big Game. We are legend, as a Cal fan, I hope they win.

So Pat is with her cousin, a great friend, and Pat get's to Bond.

Of course I will record the game...................

Nadal is doing better so I will look at that match tonight.............and of course there is a lot of politics.............Many of you may not like politics but that is my first interest, because it could make the stock market CHANGE, so yes, the stock market is most important in my first few hours...............

Then tomorrow Josh and Jose may come in to top off wine..........long story.............

The only to do:

Order bottles///////         I found out we should consider ordering more sparkling wine bottles. We have had trouble with this heavy bottles...........has to hold in the pressure............So years these bottle are hard to get and cost a lot more..........get this:::

The TTB, govt now, charges us .......gee I can't remember, I i think it could be 5 to 10 times more for bottling sparkling wine.........hey it is strange a lot of these laws have not been changed since prohibition................

Friday November 20, 2015

I ordered bottles so I have only to prepare for blending and bottling........seriously it is easy after all these years. The wine is great here but maybe some who come in like today from Napa Valley, find that we use Screwcaps...............A couple came in today and asked for a vineyard tour so I spent several minutes with them.............many more than I do as usual as some of you know............. and they tasted and decided not to purchase a wine, even though they said they loved our wines. Maybe we should have charged them, but we were so surprised when they loved our wines and what do you say

Josh and I talked today we have things ready.........so

Should I plan my next vacation.........as you know I like doing what I enjoy, like being here..........

I like Movies a little again, and I have enjoyed books more lately. I have liked most things about cruises and Pat seems to like them. I would rather drive my new Tesla so I have to convince pat to take a few drives ...........New Orleans...........no way, Pat says............My first bucket list......Number One..........drive to New Orleans in a Model S..........probably won't happen so..............

Pat is off to see the Cal, Stanford game tomorrow so I will make sure if I can see her in attendance.................
