Thanksgiving is upon us yet again, not really sure where the time goes. I’ve looked absolutely everywhere and to no avail. There’s either a black hole that sucks it all away from us or it’s right there in front of us but we’re too concerned with the NEXT thing that we don’t … [Read more...]
Back Off the Wagon!
My drinking habits have been severely disturbed the past year! Why, you ask? Well, it all started out when I got pregnant last November, miscarried in December, was pregnant again in January, and celebrated the birth of our son, Samuel Liberty 4 weeks ago! Being pregnant … [Read more...]
Paso Robles Wine, East Vs. West
Today’s post is simple…there has been talk off and on about dividing up Paso Robles wine country into many AVA’s rather than simply use the current Paso Robles AVA. My personal opinion is that this is not good for the area. Most of the people that come to Paso or that buy Paso … [Read more...]
A Gourmet Mac & Cheese Festival…Really?
Yes my friends, I would not tease you with such a splendid thought. That’s like telling someone that there’s bacon for breakfast but when you sit down to eat breakfast…there’s no bacon. So we have to throw out a big HELL YEAH to the first Gourmet Mac & Cheese Festival and the … [Read more...]

Small Town 4th of July Celebration, 2012

Adventure #21 – Something Funny Happened on the Way Home From The Chardonnay Symposium
I dislike long titles but this is an adventure, and against my better judgment I left it…so there. There was actually nothing funny that happened at all on the way home from the Chardonnay Symposium we went to recently. Regardless of this we needed an adventure and … [Read more...]
Adventure #20 – A Breath of Fresh Air For Us
This past weekend we finally had the opportunity to go back to Barney Schwartz Park in Paso Robles to follow through on an adventure we tried to do there a while back. The last time it was slightly cold but the wind was howling which made it too cold and far too blustery for our … [Read more...]
July 4th: What Does it Really Mean to YOU?
I understand fully that July 4th is a holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776…having been born in 1976 (bicentennial baby) and having the middle name of Liberty, I can’t get too far without knowing some of the magical stuff about this … [Read more...]
