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!

November 14, 2009 at 10:25 amAwwww, 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!
Matt
November 14, 2009 at 10:32 amMy mom does the same thing when she comes to visit me. Clean clean clean… Haha. I am actually pretty clean already though 🙂
Erin
November 14, 2009 at 10:36 amYay Dexter! What a brave guy. Enjoy the day with your mom!
Heather
November 14, 2009 at 10:42 amIf you go to La Crema – make sure to have the Chardonnay! We served it at our wedding, it’s a great wine. Definitely great wine for the price!
Bev

November 14, 2009 at 4:42 pmThank 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:)…
