Soco's visit to the dentist: November 11, 2008.

So, we had enough of Soco's bad breath that I decided to brush his teeth. As I was doing so, I realized that Soco had 2 loose teeth in the back. One was a scuzzy color, so I figured that was the breath culprit.

We took him to the vet and they decided they needed to put him to sleep and remove the 2 bum teeth. Well, when we picked him up, he was stumbling like a drunk. He practically fell out of his crate in the car when I climbed in the back to cuddle on the way home. I think his legs were still a little numb because the back 2 weren't exactly working as planned! He conked out cold when we got home.....right in front of the fireplace. His mouth hanging open and legs sprawled all over. He's been groggy for the last 4 hours. I think he's gonna need an Aleve! Poor thing.

Just for fun!

I saw this gorilla off of the interstate on the way home from a meet I think. I don't know what type of establishment this place was, but the gigantor gorilla was worth the picture!

James Arthur Winery: November 1, 2008

James Arthur Winery in Raymond, Nebraska.





We decided to find a winery nearby. We had a bunch in Virginia that we liked, so we decided to venture out and see what we can find in Nebraska. We found James Arthur Winery. It's down a little dirt road but was a nice and quiet place to sip some wine and relax on the porch.


What a view........ FLAT.



We didn't find wine that we were head over heels for, but we did end up buying tickets for their Wine Dinner. We're gonna be wined and dined and go home with 2 bottles of their wine! Sounds like a yummy time!





Oh.....and I think this is Santa!??

Nichole and Dennis' Wedding: October 25, 2008

Nichole and Dennis got married!

We drove to St. Louis for a wedding.... we like weddings. Their wedding was held at Lau-Nae Winery in Red Bud, Illinios. It was a perfect day! Clear skies and NO RAIN! There was a mishap or three surrounding the whole weekend, but the wedding went off without a hitch.



The ceremony site, right by the grape vines.




It was such a nice day AND it was fun to see Big Mike dancing! Yipee for wine!


I managed to get a good shot before she walked up the aisle!

Congrats to Nichole and Dennis...... yea!!

VT v. Huskers Sept. 27, 2008

What a fun weekend! It was great to have everyone here to visit. We had our first guests in Nebraska! I'd like to give a shout out to Sarah and Mike Ames, Farmer Dave, Z, John Tabb. Thanks for making the trip!

There was some downtown fun friday night at Sidetracks. Nothing like a crude old lady playing MC of the night! Then some football outside before the game, what perfect weather!

And of course a fantastic Hokie win in Husker town! I loved it!
