Wine Tasting in Fair Play

Fair Play wineries are located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills. You will find over 20 family-owned wineries. Scott and Melissa came down to see our new home and we did some wine tasting. It was basically me and Robert's first time going wine tasting! Poor Melissa had a sprang ankle and still wanted to go! What a trooper. We called her hop-a-long that day :)

We started at Cantiga Wineworks, then Sierra Oaks Estates, Shadow Ranch, Toogood Estate, and I couldn't tell you the last winery we ended up!? Let's just say I was feeling the effects of the wine:) After the wineries, we decided to take Scott and Melissa to a historic bar called Poor Reds. We treated them to the popular drink called the Gold Cadillac which is made with the liquor, Galliano. The creamy Galliano cocktail is so popular that Poor Red's uses more of the liquor than anyplace in the world! * Entrance to the wine cellar. * In the wine cellar.

Our New Home

On August 29th, 2007, Robert accepted and signed the offer of the price of the home! It was a very exiting time we were so eager to move to our new home. We couldn't have done this without our wonderful realator, Kathleen Loren Sturgeon. I want to thank you again for all the hard work you did. You were more than a realator to us and I am glad we are starting a wonderful friendship.

Sept. 27th, Robert, Kim B., Peja, Barry B. and I all shared a bottle of wine in our new home on the deck. That night Robert and I stayed our fist night in our new home. Then next day we moved most of all our stuff from our apartment to our new home.

Dacy and her husband, Rob, picked me up at the airport. Dacy wanted to take me to the HoHut Mongolian Grill. I never ate there before and this place is Dacy and Rob's favorite place to dine out. We met Lacey at the HoHut and all had a great dinner. We decided that we would begin our night out in the city at Bordertown. Lacey and I went to her new apartment in Eagle Run and I unpacked and freshened up for the night. I called Mandy and we all would meet at the Bordertown. Lacey and I arrived there and talked a little bit to Trina. Reid and his fiance, Sarah, came to the Bordertown too. He brought a few friends with him and I knew them too. So it was a nice little reunion. Mandy and Levi, her boyfriend, arrived and Dacy and Rob arrived shortly after. Mandy called Kelsi and she drove from Detroit Lakes to meet us at the Bordertown too. We played some pool there and later that evening we went to Mr. G's to do some dancing and partied the night away. I had such a good time that night and to be with my close friends.

Monday morning. Lacey was called in to work. After she got done with her clients, I got my hair done. I just added some highlights to my hair. Once we were done with that, we headed to Wishek! It was great to see my parents! Gosh, I missed them so much. My parents had to work the next day so they went to be bed early. Lacey and I took a walk around town and I saw some lights on at one of my friend's house. So we knocked on the his door and we talked to to Dustin for a few hours.

So went to our local grocery store and got some items. We started cooking dinner and my mom and dad were coming home from work. After dinner we decided to go golfing. After our game we went to visit my grandpa and grandma.
