January 28, 2011 – 1:03 am

Fess Parker Wine Country Inn & Spa on Wheel of Fortune

January 26, 2011 – 5:43 am

Last night while watching Wheel of Fortune, the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn & Spa came up. Growing up watching Fess Parker’s roles as Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, I decided to Google the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn. It’s really interesting to see an actor from the 1950’s and 1960’s now involved in Santa […]

January 24, 2011 – 1:13 pm

Soup with Wine is Perfect for Cold Weather

January 22, 2011 – 8:11 am

This morning it was a bitter 14 degrees outside. Cold weather people may enjoy these freezing temperatures but I am a warm weather fan. I’ll spend most of the day enjoying the warmth of our wood-burning stove. The next 10 days won’t be out of the 30’s. I’m sure it’s colder in other areas but […]
