Colds Suck but it won't keep me from the Wine!

In case you had any doubts, let me assure you that having a cold and going away for the weekend is not necessarily a good combination. But despite feeling icky most of the weekend I am having a good time. Right now we are all crawling awake slowly. MM, EI and MH stayed up late chatting (though I have been informed that MH was actually asleep on the couch), but I had a headache that just wouldn't go away so I ended up in bed early. It's weekends like this that I start to contemplate my age a bit more than I might have in the past.

We don't have any plans today other than to laze about. The weather is still beautiful. Maybe I'll find some energy later to go into town and walk around doing a little weekend shopping.

Yesterday we did have fun wine tasting. We went to about 4 vineyards: Hop Kiln, Rochioli, Mazzoco and Quivira. R&A drove up and joined us, as did a friend of MMs, so there was a total of 7 of us. After the first two stops we picked up some food stuffs in Healdsburg and then had a very nice lunch at Mazzoco. By the end of the day I had purchased about 10 bottles of wine. Everyone seemed to have a good time and the weather was perfect. If I hadn't ended up with a headache, it would have been a 100 percent success. I will put up some pictures a little later as I can't seem to upload any right now.

The evening was spent bbqing on the back deck while I tried to nap my headache away. Everyone but me participated and we had a nice dinner together. MMs friend even baked an apple cobbler from scratch, which we are all enjoying this morning as breakfast! Mustn't let any of it go to waste!

Aw B (in keeping with your cryptic text), I hope you get better. Although, wine is totally the remedy for the common cold! Have a great weekend, and keep the updates coming, I'm loving them.
