I am being kept away from the keyboard this weekend by another of my lives. There is a beautiful fledgling winery in northern Winneshiek County, and they are having an open house on Saturday, December 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. They have invited me, in my Cake Mistress incarnation, to be there serving samples of two of my cakes and selling slices to the interested. The Winneshiek Wildberry Winery is owned by Ken and Yvonne Barnes, and along with the talents of daughters Darla Jones and Beth Barnes-Guzman, they will soon be known as one of the Midwest's premiere wineries. It will be exciting to see them grow and expand their operation, and always interesting to be on the periphery of the development of the continual progress promised by such an endeavor.
Besides the winery hullabaloo, Hubba and I got a new computer, so I'm in the process of moving all our stuff over from the old one -- and I do mean old. It was about one degree up from writing on cave walls, but it got us to where we are now, and we're giving it a peaceful retirement. By next week I hope to have everything moved over, she said with all the hope of the Christmas season. If anyone wants to put me on a prayer chain, it would probably help.
Enjoy! Keep warm if you're in the Midwest or the Northeastern U.S. For the rest of you, no sneering. We like winter -- refer to last week's post.
