Back from my journey/Winners

As you might have guessed, I was recuperating from my (very wonderful) travels yesterday, so didn’t get to this blog.  Our winners for last week are: Brenda Ireland and Cathy Green.  Congratulations, my friends–enjoy!  (Not Brenda or Cathy?  No worries.  Just comment and you’re automatically entered for this week’s giveaway.) Now for a brief account of my recent trip to Santa Rosa, CA, where I participated in the annual Bulls and Bears celebration hosted by my good friends, Steve and Robin Black, owners of Uptick Vineyards.  Talk about GLAM!  Festivities began with a Friday night gathering at the Blacks’ beautiful home, which is surrounded on all sides by grapevines, grapevines and MORE grapevines.  It was a great chance to reconnect with buddies like Bill Francis and his lovely wife, my beloved Renae Kinsey, Bob and Lynn Massi, Debbie and Wayne Macomber, Nancy Berland and many others.  I met some wonderful new people, already friends of mine, including Ramona and Matt and the Amazing Jackie.  More on them later.  🙂       
OKAY, for whatever crazy reason, much of this blog disappeared into a Black Hole.  So I’ll take up the slack tomorrow!
