Low Tech Wine Bottling!

We were at Laura's farm when she had just finishing bottling a number of cases of Pinot Noir. Here's she emptying the last of the storage container into Sue's glass.

One of Laura's Many Cats

Laura raises Ragdoll cats but also has many pet cats in the house. This one is "Nadia" and really likes the new leather chair which is not so new anymore!

"Woody" from Toy Story

My great niece and nephew have so many toys throughout the house, I don't know if this toy was a Christmas present this year or past years! I thought it would make a great photo anyway.
