The Things We've Seen

The current count is 10 days, 32 wineries, 279 wines. All I have the energy for is a couple of highlights (and you know I consider animals to be highlights) and just some funny stuff we saw along the way:

I'm thinking she didn't want to be photographed

He gets to spend his whole life like this....I'm kinda jealous

We were so focused on wineries that Mt. Shasta surprised us!

This also surprised us. You'd think it'd be more crowded.

The "world famous" sundial bridge.

Winery dogs are usually bigger. (This one's for you, Lori)

One of our favorite wineries and winemakers--Bill Frick of Frick Vineyards

Just so pretty

Foxy has a tough, tough job. I can relate.


Beautiful tasting room, beautiful wines and...I got a super cute hat!


Oregon grapes on Day 2 of our trip

California Grapes on Day 10 of our trip

We expect to hit 300 wines tasted sometime tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. And yes, there may even be some wine recommendations.

Comments mean you care. That's all I'm saying.

Why The Title

I hate and refuse to read/ watch/ acknowledge any story involving a dog--because I love dogs and the dog in a movie/ book/ whatever always dies. I can't handle that.

When I found out I had cancer I said to Chris (writer, significant other; in case there is a soul reading this who doesn't know that) "If I die, given that Seamus lived, you have to write the memoir "The Dog Lived." I love the irony. Seamus (our beagle) was diagnosed with cancer more than 3 years ago and was told (okay, right, I was told; Seamus still doesn't know) that he would live maybe a year. Instead he's cancer-free and well into remission. That would be the great irony of my life story--the dog lives. I don't.

Not surprisingly, Chris was not amused and did not want to write that memoir. Oh, and my prognosis is not at all that grim. So instead, in a rare mood I'm attempting to just put a positive spin on things. The Dog Lived...and so will I.

For Those of You Over the age of 35

It seems we've learned the age cut-off for understanding how a blog works (i.e. Chris or younger = you get it). So here's a few hints:

1) if you are new to the blog you actually start at the bottom (scroll down) for the first entry and then work your way up.

2) if you want to leave a comment, click on the "# comments" phrase (it will actually say 0 or 1 or 6 ...an actual number) at the end of each post (okay, "article" if the word "post" was too bloggy for you). A window will open with the other comments and a box where you can type in your comment. You don't have to have an account. Just fill in the "Name/URL" with how you want to identify yourself and then click on the "Publish Post" button.

3) comments are how I know you care. ;-)
