Russian River

Miss B and I went to the Russian River this weekend for a little get away and hang out in the rain. It poured and poured and poured. Made for good sleeping and just laying around the cabin in the woods. It was a rather strange place, very small, certainly can't have more than 2 people there at a time but right on the river. For a minute I thought we were going to float away as with the big rain dump, my mind turned to flooding. But of course it was fine and we made it out alive.

We did catch a few wineries which was fun. Hartford (amazing Zinfandel!), Paradise Ridge, LaCrema, and Marimar. We weren't planning on going wine tasting but ended up doing so and it was the first time since our sabbatical summer. Very fun and super tasty wine! We also went to a place for dinner on Saturday night called Boon. It was okay but not super fantastic as I had hoped. Rather middle of the road but good for the Russian River area. The picture above was taken at Buena Vista where the founder of the winery actually lived in my little home town before he figured out that growing grapes didn't work very well in the Midwest. Go figure! We are wine club members there and that was our last stop.

Last but not least, we watched the Giants beat Philadelphia for the NLCS and they are on their way to the World Series. I can't wait! Starts Wednesday. You should see how excited Miss B is!!! GO GIANTS!!!!!!

This guy

Tonight is the night and Timmy is pitching. Despite the hair, lanky figure, and just flat out "non-pitcher's figure" as it's been described, I am confident he will bring it tonight. It's the chance to end this business with Philadelphia once and for all and I for one and ready for it to be over. Don't want to go back to that town with awful fans and even worse fashion.

Best part of all? I don't have to work tomorrow. Taking the day off and then headed to the Russian River for a little r&r with Miss B. Ah I love the river. And I love baseball. Hooray!

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how about Buster Posey last night? My goodness that kid rocks my world. Whoop!

Philly here we come!

It's official, the Giants beat the Braves on Monday night. They are now headed for the NL championship and will need to beat Philadelphia, no easy task. I am hoping the pitching stays strong and the hitting even stronger! Needless to say, I will be watching lots of baseball this weekend. Go Giants!

P.S. When did I become such a baseball fan? When I was a kid watching the Brewers. Started paying attention to the Giants last year when we got cable TV (and now we just upgraded to a flat screen with HD!) and have been hooked ever since. So much fun! And...Miss B just bought me a Buster Posey #28 shirt. Who's lucky? ME!

Giants win the NL West 2010

Not a bad year to become a Giants fan eh? I started following from opening day and have truly become a Giants fan. As much as I loved the Brewers growing up, the Giants are IT! What a year and to top it off with the game yesterday, pure magic. Nice guns on Brian Wilson too huh?!?!

We have tickets to play offs! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa who! Go Giants!
