The Rest of the Weekend



So Mom and I went to a wine tasting that benefited the National Brain Tumor Foundation. It was held at a very local winery called the Rusty Grape Vineyard. I can't tell you if they make good wine or not. I didn't like either of the kinds I tried, but then I am an Arbor Mist/Wild Vines kind of gal. I was trying to picture how they grew enough grapes to produce all the wine they went through just that day. The vineyard is on five acres and not all of it was grapes. It never worked for me. We did see a wonderful band called the Clark County Benign Band. They had such a good time playing. And mostly they ignored the dog who wanted so badly to play ball with them. See picture.

Then on Sunday we went to the county fair. Saw the animals and drank peach milkshakes. This year the shakes were good. We got to meet some of the K-9 dogs. That was cool. Love those dogs. The other big highlight was the reptiles from Brad's Reptile World. We saw a beautiful green rattler. I was right next to her when one of the caretakers put her back in her cage. Turns out she had been de-venomized so no worries.
