a weekend of whining...

Paddy and I traveled north to the Russian River this past weekend for a barrel tasting tour to celebrate my Aunt Heidi's birthday. I expected to walk sideways like Paul Giamatti, but ended up more with a sour stomach. But that didn't keep me from having a great time and endless laughs... below are a few of the pics from the trip (as always, click to enlarge) with various lyrics that capture each mood...

You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
That only seemed light years away

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Sisters, sisters,
There were never such devoted sisters.
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?

Where do we go, nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down, when..
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face

I'd like to buy the world another shot of laughter
And buy my friends another drink


Jump in the water
Sweet little princess
Let me introduce his frogness
You alone can get him singing
He's all puffed up, wanna be your king
Oh you can do it
Lady kiss that frog

Caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,
she wore the dress and I stayed home.
All kinds of weather, we stick together,
the same in the rain or sun.

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Those who've seen us
know that not a thing can come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.

make a wish darling...

Happy Birthday! xox
