what great friends... good food, vino and conversation....

ERIC! Great meal buddy - a terrific host. Alicia, we missed you - next time...

the luckiest birthday boy ever - I was sure to finish the beer, although as if in a magic show, the dessert vanished almost immediately without my knowledge - must be the squirrels... All in all, a weekend for the ages!

a must for the blog... although rare, Mom does indeed have her eyes open:)

I am blessed to have such a great family - what a great crew... thank-you for giving your weekend to spend time with me. More memories for life - Joel in a perma-freeze, Dad secretly paying for anything he can, Mom cutting herself off of at the wine-tasting... Can't wait to see you all again!

a little brunch after an excellent church service... life can be very good sometimes.

the best line ever... KLM who?

after wine-tasting, apple stealing... I mean picking, Concord and Lexington, we beat the traffic and headed to see the Bruins get punished by the Sabres... Go Leafs!

mother taking a minute to look at the ...... minute man....

beautiful New England - mother and father were in their glory...

mmm - let's taste some wines made from random fruits....

ready for dinner...
