Breakfast

Cross Country Cat

Gooooood morning!!!

He made it!! Dexter made his first (and hopefully ONLY) cross country flight yesterday. Tampa to Denver to San Francisco and, finally, to Healdsburg. So far, he has been making himself right at home and slept nestled close to me all night. What a trooper!

My mom and I didn’t get home last night until around 11:30! We toasted with some Cab Franc when we got in and then promptly passed out. This morning, I woke up and she was already cleaning and fixing up everything….I don’t know how she has so much energy when jetlagged and exhausted but, hey, I’m not complaining. I just feel like a bum laying around the floor in my pajamas while she fusses over me. Actually, I’m not gonna lie; it’s sort of nice! 😉

Amazing Meal shake for breakfast!

  • 1 scoop chocolate amazing meal
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1 spoonful almond butter
  • ice

My mom had the same thing 🙂 She loves her grass, too! We also had really strong french press + jasmine green tea:

I’m about to hop in the shower and then we are just walking around all day as I give my mom the grand tour of Healdsburg!! Of course, stopping for mandatory wine tastings and eats along the way. I’m thinking we will do a La Crema tasting and maybe drive around Dry Creek Valley as well.  Wheewwwww!

    Dexter looks right at home! Enjoy your vacay with your mom. If you get the chance, take her to Lococo’s Cucina Rustica. We absolutely love it and go there every time we visit the family in Sonoma.

    Awwww, Dex, what a handsome gentleman! Reminds me of Bing Crosby’s role in the Grace Kelly 1956 ‘High Society.’ He played C. J. Dexter Haven….but Grace’s character, Tracy, called him ‘Dex.’
    Here’s the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10plKsEqHAA

    I’ve watched that film so many times could recite all the lines from start to finish.

    Welcome to Wine Country, Dex. Don’t go lapping up the vino!

    Having your mom fuss over you is a wonderfully sweet start to a Saturday. Have a lovely time, seems pretty doable in Headlsburg!

    Thinking about a tour of Healdsburg instantly takes me to Oakville Grocery, A Rafanelli, Ridge-Lytton Springs, Seghesio, then Dry Creek Kitchen for dinner. 🙂 Hope you guys have so much fun today!

    Thank goodness!!! I know it’s dorky, but I’ve seriously been thinking about Dexter almost every day since you moved to Cali. It’s the cat-obsessed part of me, I suppose. Anyway, I’m so glad that you guys are finally reunited:)…
