Back & Forth

: Friday after work, we packed up the car with stuff and with Poppy, and then made the jaunt to Fred! This is becoming a very nice routine! When we got there, we set up shop and settled in.

: Saturday morning, Chris had a first! He went to help harvest grapes at one of the local vineyards! He left at 6:00 am, started working at 6:30, and was on his way home around 10:30. He had a blast!! He learned a lot, harvested a lot of grapes, and met some fun people. For his hard work volunteering, he got a "Harvest Crew" t-shirt, breakfast, and then later, a free glass of wine at Vintner's Hideaway. He really enjoyed the experience! While he was gone, I worked on getting things in order for our Africa trip plans and spent some good time with Poppy while watching Friends! :) After Vintner's Hideaway, we also got our free glass of wine at Grape Creek...of course! That evening, we got a text from our friend, John...he was in town visiting him mom (he grew up in Fred). We were able to meet for dinner at Pasta Bella and it was great to catch up! It's been a few years since we've seen him. We finished up with drinks at Lincoln Street. A very nice day, even with a little bit of rain.

: Sunday, Chris did a run and then we had lunch at Tubby's. After getting packed up and cleaning the house up, we got on the road to home.

: The week ahead should be fairly straight-forward. I was able to get all of the laundry done this evening, as well as the grocery shopping. So I am happy to say that I don't have to play catch up tomorrow after work. That is a good, good thing. Friday, we'll be back to Fred for one last weekend before our South Africa trip.

: I am waiting waiting waiting to cut my hair...it is soooo long right now. Longer than it has been since high school probably. I am so tired of it. I want to have my braid for our Africa trip though, so will be cutting it when we get back. I've enjoyed having it this long, but I've reached the point of IT'S GOTTA GO!!!
