I've always been a city boy, doing city boy stuff. But Jan 2-4, and last weekend, I've been invited by Tina to relax in Santa Rosa, on a ranch shared with many horses, 3 dogs, 5 cats and 2 goats. Tina tried to teach me how to ride a horse (Jesse), and David taught me how to drive a tractor - I got to clear mud using the loader. Tina even took me to see the family vineyard. Tina, Lisa and I also enjoyed some color this past weekend; green patches of pasture, orange skies, blue water, and sandy beaches. In the warm company of friends, we satiated ourselves with excellent food and the beauty nestled between the hills and sea.
