You can almost see the Love for Learning on their faces! Yes, it was back to school this morning in my household. It brings some normalcy to the otherwise hectic work week. But before we get fully entrenched in Fall-mode, let's enjoy this last, beautiful weekend of summer! I am already plotting and planning what […]

Once again, thank you for your patience, during our parking lot renovations, this past week. For those of you who ventured in, it was a challenge at times, to figure out how to get to the front door. In the end, we have a fresh black sealcoat with brightly painted white lines. Hopefully it will […]
Sometimes our weekend get-togethers are planned weeks, even months, in advance. Other times I get a call on a Friday morning from a good friend to see if he can highlight some French and Italian wines with a special guest. And when it's Abramo making the call, of course we say yes.
He will be […]
