This little guy is Paco. He lived in front of the house and I always left food for him and the rest of the homies. I would call him and he’d come to eat out of my hand. He got injured but he was taken to a wildlife center. I sure miss my little friend.

This one’s wrapped in artwork, and you won't find it in a generic store!

Sip and be glad you aren't getting up to milk the cows!

#Dinner and [so many] #drinks [because we also went to a #wine tasting that was a really good deal of 8 glasses for 15 bucks] with my Dad tonight at Cooper's Hawk Winery and #Restaurant. 🍷 Also not pictured: my half of the fresh pretzel bread, and dessert.
