Our First Fire

Al and I finally had a fire in our fireplace, it was great. We learned a few things to make it better next time. Of course we didn't have the right fireplace cleaning tools etc., so we had to go out and buy those the next day. Having a fire like this reminds me of MN and home. The temperature really does get cold here at night, nothing like MN, but chilly enought to want a fire!

A visit from Anna - October 12-15

Anna's flight was a bit delayed on Friday due to our wonderful weather here in CA, but she got in and we had some pizza and took it easy that night since we were going to Napa on Saturday!
Saturday we headed up to Napa and started at Flora Springs. After we had a great tasting at Flora Springs, we got some lunch. Then we visited a few more wineries before we ended at Domain Chandon. We had a great day, the weather was wonderful, a great day to have a glass of wine and sit outside!
On Sunday we headed into San Francisco, the clouds were not really cooperating with us, but we still had a great time. We took a tour around the bay that took us under the Golden Gate and back to Pier 39.
Here we are on the boat with the Golden Gate in the background. While we were getting our Bay Tour on the boat, we saw some dolphins swimming in the bay, it was great, the first time seeing dolphins in the bay!

We walked all over. At Pier 39 we had some lunch, bought some salt water taffy, and as we walked to Fisherman's Warf we enjoyed some of the street performers. Before we started for home, we decided on one more picture on the pier.
Anna had to go home on Monday, but we had a great time.

A Visit from The Hiltons - October 9th

Erin and Tony were in town for a family wedding and took time to have dinner with me. It was so great to see them. We ate at Fior, the oldest Italian resturant in America, it was great.

A Visit from the Sailor (September 28-30)

Dallas was driving through and stopped to spend a few days with us. On Saturday we went golfing, it was fun and a beautiful day! Here we have Al and Dallas at Tee Box 1.
Me and Al, I think we were on hole 6 or so, doing alright.
After a nice day out golfing, we cleaned up and decided to go out. Of course we had to take a picture before we headed out.
