Both of us spent a lot of time down at the mart placing orders for the shop in Bodega Bay. Which reminds us that we didn't exactly explain to everyone why we are making this move...we can't remember who we've seen and told about all this. We are purchasing a wine retail shop in Bodega Bay in Sonoma County. Bob is going to be the head wine taster and merchant. Sissy will be down in the store room making tag orders and will be helping Bob out in the shop with the gift retail side of the business.
Your first question may be "what do you all know about wine?" Well, while we may not be experts, we do enjoy the process of wine and how it comes to be and the culture of food and wine. And Bob found this wonderful opportunity, so we decided to take a chance. We are so happy we did!!
Okay, now that everyone is up to speed, back to what's been going on...
As promised, the Christmas in July photo from John and Joy's house. Please pay no attention to the bathing suit John is wearing!!
Here is the other family photo we took - can Uncle Harry please photoshop Alex into the picture??
Our holiday toast!
John and Joy, Bob and Sissy at Outback:
This photo pretty much sums up how we feel about this move!
Mom made a cake for Bob - a coconut cake. Yes, it was yummmmmmy!
Bob's been reading up on wine stuff and getting into the groove of buying for the shop. If you ever want to know who it is that keeps the U.S. economy running, just take a stroll through the buildings of AmericasMart in Atlanta during market...wall to wall women buying stuff - lots of it! Sissy has a new appreciation for her clients and how they come to choose what to buy and resale. And feels humbled that they find her and those little Sissy Tags among all the other stuff! And very, very thankful that they come back time and time again!!
We will be here with Mom and Dad till Sunday morning. And there's a lot of stuff going on between now and then. So, we promise to write more, soon!
