I have been given a nudge to do a blog
So.....here goes!!!!
It is Graham's birthday
His Dad is the chef!
Graham asked for Stromboli
which is also a favourite of Beau
Lyndsay's Mom came down for the afternoon
A gathering in the kitchen
Now the chef is making dessert
Happy Birthday to you!!!
Sweets for the sweet boy!!!!!!!!
Compliments of Nana
The two O'Rourke men working in the vineyard
Gathering odds and ends for a bonfire
Soon the pool will be ready for water
Wouldn't be a blog without my kitties
They love to snuggle
Ethan working in the vineyard
Making money for a new hockey stick
Graham was making a wine run to Vancouver and Whistler so I tagged along for the ride
He dropped me off at Jennifer's where I had a visit for a few days
Got a ride back to Penticton with Jen where we all celebrated Easter
Here you see daffodils along the highway
I had a day with the pugs while Jen was at work
We kept each other company
Birthday dinner for Graham at Ted and Marla's home at Whistler
Marla busy cleaning up after a delicious dinner!!!!
Graham's friend Les melting chocolate for dessert
We had the best time
Such good friends
Les, Mark, Jen, Ted, the Mom and the birthday boy

One sunny afternoon I took a walk along the
KVR trail
Spring is in the air

The winery
Ethan was playing spring hockey at a tournament in Osoyoos
Beau's old stomping grounds
WOW
The hockey boy is growing up!!!!!!!
First tournament where the boys were allowed to hit
On to rugby
Graham is coaching Ethan's school team
Go get-em boys
Ethan's friend Sam with the ball
Rough and tumble
I remember days gone by when Graham played rugby

Unfortunately I dropped my camera a few weeks ago
The strap got caught causing the camera to land lens first on the floor
The lens flew off the camera
YIKES
I am waiting for the lens to be repaired
Soon I will be back in business
Until then...........
Once again Dianne the photos and blog are superb !! I never tire of it ! Tightrope is looking like a vacationer's or tourist's must see winery. The grounds are so breathtakingly beautiful, the inside of the store / tasting area very fung shei ( spelling) inviting expanse anyways ! The only thing missing = Gwennie. All my love & hugs, please share with Gwennie ! x0x0x0x0x0
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are really shaping up at the winery. It is such a beautiful spot. The wine tasting room looks great. I love the tight rope walker logo.
ReplyDeleteJoe has kept himself busy. What beautiful work.
Have been home almost two weeks now. Weather is cold. Bill is not liking this.
Great blog. Keep in touch,
Janet
FINALLY! I have been waiting and waiting for an update. Great photos. I am enjoying the updates and changes at the winery. My, those grandsons have grown. Hugs to you both. I imagine you are heading to the cottage, soon.
