In keeping with the celebratory spirit of Oktoberfest, Cindy has submitted the California wine-country photos below. I did
not want to crop or condense them very much, which would spoil the compositions of California sun, sky, and ocean.
As a result the downloads may take a few extra seconds, but they're worth it.
Mel, Cindy and Uncle Jim (not necessarily in that order)
"I'm not driving; are you driving?"
"I think Cindy's driving . . ."
"Like hell I am . . . we're renting a limo!"
Group ritual to get mentally prepared for wine touring (or maybe they have just returned from wine
touring and are trying to keep one another from falling over)
(L to R: Mel, Jim, Mike, Uncle Jim, Cindy, Wendy, and suspicious woman in hat and shades)
"There she is again, I think we're being followed."
"Salud."
Jim, Mel, and many thousands of grapes
Wendy sipping wine with James Mazza, citizen of the world
