Wine Tasting in Temecula

I got a call Thursday late after noon inviting us to go to Temecula for wine tasting, and as I love wine I didn’t want to say no specially since I couldn’t make it to the last invite. Lela woke up not feeling well yesterday so she wasn’t able to make it. Despite the fact that I was missing her while I was gone. I had a great time.

Before we went to the winery, we drove up about 30 minutes north to pay respects to Grandpa (Angela’s Grandpa). We miss you very much Grandpa and we know that you were at Angela and Adrians wedding in spirit…

Our first winery was at La Cereza Winery which is her Mom’s favorite, then headed over to the Maurice Car’rie Winery which is Angela’s favorite (and mine too). If you like a sweeter fruitier wine Maurice Car’rie is the better choice of the two.

Embarrassing TJ Photo

I think everyone who lives in Southern California (or at least San Diego) has a overly embarrassing photo of them selves at the age of 18+ down in Tijuana Mexico partying drinking and dancing. I have this old one from 1993 with John (Brandon’s Dad) this was the night we met, myself (ohh my, what was I thinking), my best friend at the time Lisa (what is with her pose lol) and her then soon to be Husband Victor (now divorced as well)..

8 Shots of Patron is No Good

What happens when you have 8 shots of Patron mixed with every other drink you can think of?

You act a FOOL!!!

This is Nyia acting a fool with her girl trying to dance for her. At about 4 am Sunday morning

Now this is a Margarita!

The rims of these glasses were about 8 inches wide. Talk about a two handed drink.

Brandon is coming home

Some of you remember my list of things to do while Brandon was at camp. He is coming home tomorrow around noon and i’m so happy. I pretty much accomplished the list so here’s the list with the results.

1. Take a nice bubble bath with music and wine at my side – Ahh yes thanks to Angela she brought me a 6 pack. No, not a 6 pack of beer but a 6 pack of wine from costco, lol.
2. Find a handsome man and or beautiful woman to take advantage of me – I found my handsome man and beautiful woman (Angela and Adrian), but I didn’t let them take advantage of me, I took advantage of them as I slept on their sofa and ate their delicious chili on Tuesday night.
3. Veg out on the sofa and watch tv – Yep I did plenty of that
4. Work – Very little of that
5. Enjoy my birthday on Thursday – Yes I had a nice day.
6. Go to the local adult book store and find ways to abuse myself – I didn’t make it to the adult book store but Tammy Brought me a gift that almost resembled what I would be looking for (see the picture to the right)

My day started out around 7:15 with a phone call from Angela and the kids singing Happy Birthday to me while on their way to school. I got up checked my emails and then started to veg out on my big comfy chair contemplating turning on the TV, wondering when Tammy was going to call since she mentioned taking me to breakfast to Mimi’s Cafe. She showed up around 9ish as I will still in my shirt and undies covered up with a big blanket. I let her in and ran into my room to get decent. She surprised me with these flowers

After I got home I vegged out in front of the TV some more listened to some tunes and the door bell rang to receive a delivery of flowers from Ms Jeni in Germany

About 6 PM Angela showed up with a big chocolate cake (what woman doesn’t love chocolate?) and my 6 pack of wino (White Zen) we went to Black Angus for dinner to came back to have a bottle of wine, some of the yummi cake and watched the movie “Awake”

Ok now for the full picture of what I got from Tammy as a gift, viewers under 18 might want to close your eyes on this.

Tammy and I were commenting on the fact that we really think a woman designed this coffee cup. Tammy knew I was looking to buy a new one but the stores I went to I just couldn’t find one that I liked. But she got this one right on the money as I love it.
