I am back. The wine weekend was a smashing success. Luckily for us ladies we travelled very well together and the laughter was nonstop. There were Chinese fire drills, secret handshakes and plenty clothes sharing and hair products. In other words; we were total chicks. We basically hit every winery in the okanagen valley. Never done it before but would love to do it again... maybe next year.
One of the wineries we hit and toured was called Summerhill. These people run a winery with a cult like atmosphere. They believe that aging the wine in the pyramid does something funky to it - something to do with negative ions etc. (Cough*hack*bull*cough*shit) It was also suggested that any emotion you enter the pyramid with would be exemplified... so I imagine I exited the pyramid a bit more of a cynic and with a serious case of the sillies. I was hoping the next stop might be the Church of Scientology. I wanted to walk in there wearing the tinfoil hat and do the alien test - but when I had my hands on the metal hand thingies I was going to start shrieking like a maniac. That might be a fun way to spend the afternoon, yes?
Time after the weekend was spent with Spartan and was fleeting. As it always does, the clock seems to go so fast. Now I am home. Thanksgiving is looming. (Remember Canadians do it earlier than our friends below the 49th parallel) Looking forward to turkey. Then - to ease the pain of missing Spartan - I am lucky enough to actually get to see him on Sunday. So, as always - there is a reason to smile!
Have a great weekend you guys - off to read about your adventures...and practice dance moves for the wedding...

I immediately thought of the original "Wicker Man" when you menetioned the cult-like Summerhill winery. Maybe because the place was called Summerisle.
oooh. There might be something to that...
Glad you had such a blast, honey.
When is said wedding? I think you should gracefully perform the chicken dance.
welcome back stranger...
Your wine weekend sounds like so much fun.
A wine making Pyramid....hmmm...i seee...weird.

{Sign} … Women can be so evolved. When will men learn to share hair products and clothes? When?
So...this pyramid thing....If my wife was a teeny bit Horny...and she entered......would she just come out, rip my clothes off and treat my body like a circus ride?
Sounds like fun. You should come and try out South africa's wine routes sometime ;-) I'll share what little hair product I have with you!
