This evening, after work, I drove over to my friend Carolyn’s house in Dundee. I spent a little time hanging out with her adorable children. At around 7:00, we headed over to her neighbor Maggie’s house, a few blocks away. When we arrived, we signed up for what brought this evening gathering together [...]

Sunday. The day of rest. I wondered if God had partied all night on Saturday, super psyched about the hard work He had put into his productive week of creating the universe, celebrating with all the angels and celestial beings in their most glorious revelry? Perhaps He needed to sleep in on Sunday, eat some [...]

Saturday, September 13
Today was the day of an annual harvest party hosted by my friends in McMinnville. As part of the annual festivities, they roast a pig, they hire a local bluegrass band, Jackstraw, and all of the invitees bring wine to share. This is also an opportunity to welcome the harvest interns – crew members coming from [...]

Moving along with more love… I’m feeling indulgent. There are all kinds of examples of love that can really surprise you, examples that show you a different kind or side of love, or even yourself.
Take for instance my change in plans this evening. Initially, I was going to meet the girls for a [...]

Love. Perhaps not the first word that comes to mind on this day, a Memorial to America’s most devastating tragedy. When I think back to seven years ago, I remember waking up to a morning that was glorious in Washington, DC – there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun was illuminating. I lived in an [...]

Wednesday, September 10
Here’s how my day started. I had to take an allergy nighttime pill last night, which knocked me out. I mean to say, when I woke up this morning, my sheets were still tucked in – it was like a corpse slept in that bed! I was very groggy all morning long. I [...]

In moments of self doubt, sometimes the unthinkable can happen. Sometimes miracles can happen. Okay, maybe I’m going a little bit overboard. But, I have been a little bluesy over the past few days. Got my celiac rash bach. So, I knew the negative, despressed feelings were my symptoms returning. After I wrote yesterday’s entry, [...]

Satisfaction. That is what I felt when I printed out a holiday catalog I put together for the winery. The pages looked clean, the photos I selected were beautiful. It flowed seamlessly. I printed the pages on matte photo paper, used the paper cutter, then taped the edges for the front and back [...]

Sunday, September 7
A nice morning to sleep in. I got up around 10:15 and immediately got to work. I sorted laundry and put in a load. I stripped my bed and put the sheets in the warm water pile. I cleaned the toilets. I cleaned the bathroom sinks. Then I was hungry. And, for whatever [...]

Wow. Ten days left and I am done with this. I have no plans for a party or celebration. But, if I get a book deal and get my narrative published, based on this blog, then I will definitely plan some sort of gluten-free party in a vineyard here in Oregon.
Anyway. I didn’t really sleep in. [...]
