Jim visited his Dad, who is almost 94 years old, and  Ethel earlier this month in Ellenton, Florida. They had a great time reconnecting.  Jim is looking forward to the next visit; his Dad wore him out!

Temecula Wineries

Here we are at Europa; lousy wine but purchased this great hairy vest.

Europa with neighbors Bob and Rose Press:

And here we are at Cougar, our 3rd winery of the evening.  The live music was a father and son doing a lot of Elton John (most people enjoyed it).  Everybody is winding down after a tough and busy week.

Cougar Winery

Here we are at Cougar Vineyards and Winery enjoying a glass of wine while waiting for our lunch; pastrami for Jim and pizza for Joellen.  We so enjoy Cougar's deli.

Falkner Winery Temecula

Joellen, Jim, Rose and Bob enjoying 'almost free-wine-friday'.  We tasted at Masia de la Vinya, enjoyed Malbec at Doffo and are pictured below at Falkner Winery.  We so enjoy the Temecula Valley wine district.

Back in Saddle

Back in SoCal means back on our sport bikes.  Yeah!  We went for an early morning ride before returning home to work on getting the motorhome ready for winter storage and installing security cameras.  We look forward to more riding esp. out to Julian, CA to visit Vulcan Winery and partake in the Fall apple harvest.  This is the weather we signed up for.

Leaving Pendaries

A few days after a gorgeous snowfall, below is Jim saying goodbye to our friend and neighbor Judy.  We all enjoyed the snow.  Carl our cat had a blast hiking through the woods in the snow.  We can't wait to get back to Pendaries next Spring.

Snow in Pendaries

We so enjoyed the snow these last couple days.  The weather is telling us we need to travel back to SoCal soon so we are leaving Pendaries for the season.  Carl our cat and I had a great hike in the woods this morning; Carl so enjoys the snow.
