CREAM, Running, Cookies and More

Over the last few weeks I've continued to keep busy with running, working and even made a few trips east to Sacramento and Lodi.

1. CREAM Napa opened and I was among the first in line, I've been waiting for it to open since the "Coming Soon" sign went out in April 2016.
2. Halloween at The Village mean a fun harvest festival, followed by handing out candy to the 60+ kids that came to by door on Halloween night.
3. Went to The Barlow in Sebastopol, it's a fun spot with shops, restaurants and tasting rooms.
4. Headed to Sacramento for the Steiner Family Vineyards wine pick up party ... and my birthday
5. The Village Christmas Tree went up and had an amazing tree lighting with more than 1,500 in attendance.
6. Dinner at Morimoto ... one of the perks of living in the Napa Valley
7. I made cookies, lots of cookies
8. We had a cousins Christmas in Roseville complete with pizza, Christmas lights and a photo on the stairs.
9. I worked with our chefs at a few events, including taking the food truck to St. Helena and providing some delicious food and cookies at an industry holiday party at Inglenook.
10. I ran a lot ... reaching (and still going) my goal of 2,018 miles for 2018.
11. There was also a trip to Lodi where we celebrated the life of my great aunt, while also taking time to celebrate a birthday at Wine & Roses and pick up some wine at Oak Farm Vineyards.

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen.

On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
