Winemaking at its best...In the backyard, wearing grubs! This was the crushing picture of Merlot grapes that had been through the fermentation process for a couple weeks. I LOVE the smell...If I could bottle that cellar smell and sell it, I'd be a very rich woman! This was a great experience to say the least.

I could dig being a full time winemaker (vs. being realtor) ANYDAY...

So I have been giving a lot of thought lately on going to night school and getting a degree in something. Well...The verdict is in. I don't think I will until the kids are older. I just don't have the time, or energy to work full time and sacrifice my precious time to sit in a classroom. It boggles me how some people do it. I prefer to live life to the fullest and enjoy my time as if it were my last moment on earth. I reflected on this earlier today. I was actually running about 10 minutes late for work. As I was driving along, there was a really bad accident. The only thought that came to mind was that I could have easily been in the middle of all of it had I been on time. How my life just flashed in front of me. Life is short, I'm going to enjoy it as much as possible.

Independence Day

Another 4th of July in the works! Every year I think about the look in the kids' eyes when they got to watch a fireworks show. Now they are all older, it makes me miss it even more. I suppose one day I'll have grandkids to take in their place. Isn't that just like life? You take advantage of the little things that eventually you will miss. Not thinking at the time, "I should enjoy every second of this, because it won't last". It's a good reminder to me to embrace all this life has to offer. Because someday, I will miss this very moment.

Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree. Emily is still at Whitworth College looking at getting into the psychological aspect of Criminal Justice. And Noah is finding his way still, but making it work in Spokane. All out of the house and living on their own without our help. Sometimes that is the greatest accomplishment in this day and age. I'm doing well with the Mortgage gig. I've never worked harder in my life, but I love it and the money is stupid. Dan and I are finding a new love of RVing. Every weekend we are either planning or going. I love spending time with him. After your children grow up you realize how extremely short life is. So we are just trying to liv...
