We just bought a new dining room table and server.  Lots of family and friends dinners to look forward to!!

Got Wine?

I hosted my very first event in August! This was a big accomplishment for me and I can say with confidence that it was a huge success. Jesse Kovacs, who may be recognized by his recent appearance on ABC's The Bachelorette, is a winemaker in Monterey, California. I had been fortunate enough to sample his Pinot Noir and Chardonnay earlier this summer. It was so delicious that not only did I buy a case, I arranged for him to come back to San Diego for this special event! He hosted a wine bar on the top of my friend's condominium complex. I decorated, (made sure the roof was sparkling with candles of course), had a plethora of munchies, good party music, and with out a doubt, a fun guest list. The special guest stars were 4 of the guys from the show. Needless to say, all of my single girlfriends were in heaven. Tim couldn't have been a more supportive husband and such a good sport. It was like Beatles mania to an extent. :) I hope this is the beginning of many more events in the future. It will be a good one to have on file that's for certain!

Nana's 90th Birthday Surprise

Surprising Nana is not the easiest task in the world. This woman knows all! We all managed somehow to pull the wool over her eyes and plan a few surprises. Papa did a great job organizing her party and many times I almost blew it... I found that just avoiding calling her all together was my best bet. I wanted to tell her badly that I booked a plane ticket to come see her. For 6 months I had to pretend that I didn't. It didn't help that everytime we spoke she would ask when I was coming to Connecticut. I'm glad I withheld because the look on her face when she saw Tim and me was priceless. It touched my heart to see the unexpected happiness fill her eyes. I will never ever forget it.

Our visit was short however, it was filled with the best thing in the entire world. Family Love. Lots and lots of L-O-V-E! Marjorie Hermes Thompson, here is to YOU! You still got it goin' on at 90... what an inspiration!

Sailing Away

Marshall Robinson spent his 70th birthday sailing in San Diego! He was here on a business trip and Tim and I were fortunate enough to be invited to come along on his special birthday voyage. Sarah and Danny flew in for the weekend and rented a 36' sail boat. The morning started out with a nice breakfast and mimosas onboard and then afterwards we ventured out on a 5 hour cruise on the San Diego Bay. What a way to celebrate such a milestone.. We were so pleased to be a part of it!
