Bev's dad is hanging in there. He was doing better last night but is still bleeding internally. I did not go up there last night to see him since Bev had a lot of her other friends up there with them. A lot of prayers are being said for him.
Other things are going fairly well. The kids rooms are coming along nicely. We have them pretty well fixed up and looking great. Our youngest is doing great in his new bed and loving it. Our new puppy went to the vet today and weighs 43 pounds now and a lot to go. Not bad for a 4 month old puppy. The kids are having a great summer with all their friends. Its like grand central station around here with all the kids in and out all the time. Of course mine are in and out of other houses just as much as they are here.
On another note.... I have started really enjoying wine. We did the winery thing a while ago and hubby and I have really been reading up on wines and all the differences. I am far from an expert but I am loving the trying out of different wines. I have found my favorite type of wines. My absolute favorite are Icewines. But they are very hard to come by and pretty damn expensive since they do not make many of them and some wineries do not even do it. They come in LITTLE bottles too. You get about half of what a regular bottle has. Innisklin is a good icewine. One that I have waiting is Jackson-Triggs Vidal Icewine. I have also had another one from one of the wineries around here that was excellent. They are dessert wines and just incredibly yummy. Another favorite is the Port wines. They are dessert wines also. They are served best cold and with a chocolate rimmed wine glass. I get a shipment of different wines from Blackstone Winery. They have excellent wines and I have really enjoyed them. My hubby, who does not drink, even enjoys a glass of wine with me once in a while. He loves learning about the wine and loves to bring me bottles home. I have over 30 bottles of all different types. Someday we will get around to enjoying them.
