Last night, my Mom gave Juliette a ‘milk cow’ similar to the one I had as a child. Juliette was thrilled with her new gift and willingly went to bed dreaming of ways to use it, I am sure. The next morning, Mimi and her sat down for homemade granola with the cow ready to go. 
After our morning run, Xerxes requested French Toast and I was happy to oblige. My Mom’s Honey Whole Wheat is soft & dense and makes for an incredibly hearty French toast. This particular batch when sliced looks a bit like this, too:

As the day progressed we were busying ourselves preparing for our camping trip and shredding branches in the back yard. Lunch quickly became leftover Moussaka, pasta salad and Cucumber Dill Feta Salad.
About midday we packed up to go wine tasting. We started our mission at one of our favorites, Kiona Winery. It is run by grandparents of a darling gal who my sister and I danced with. When we arrived our server was actually the mom of another family who not only danced, but who went to our church and school growing up. It was fun to see her again and of course to sample the lovely wines she poured in the gorgeous tasting room.

Next, we headed to my favorite Winery of all time: Fideltas. The family also attended our church (noticing a trend? Catholics apparently love wine) and the eldest daughter was one of my favorite first ballet students. Apparently, she has not only graduated from college (wow, feeling old!) but she is in the PeaceCorp (wowsa, feeling impressed!)

But, despite the connections we actually adore this winery because it is just ridiculously good. Every time I sip Fidelitas I feel this is how wine should taste. Simple, rich. Perfect, lovely. And I am actually not alone in my admiration. Charlie Hoppes was named Winemaker of the Year by Seattle Magazine.
We also met up with my ballet director Debra Rogo, her husband Joel and their daughter who is about to enter graduate school. They were holding a meeting to plan a fabulous fundraiser next year and I look forward to hearing how the plans will transpire. Debra also became a big hit with Juliette when she let her play a cupcake game on her Ipad.

After our tasting, we headed outside to dine on a picnic of my Dad’s smoked salmon, cheese, crackers, and a bit more. It was a gorgeous view and just a tiny bit too hot, but we loved it.
The afternoon fun ended with a quick trip to Costco to stock up on a few items for the camping trip. We also grabbed a chicken that everyone munched on with veggies and dip for a easy, not too filling dinner since our picnic was late in the afternoon.
May your dreams be as perfect as the sips of wine I tried earlier today,
