Icicle Ridge Winery

/

Off for a business meeting at Icicle Ridge Winery in Peshastin Washington.



Wish I could adequetely describe the surrounding beauty. The hills and valleys are covered in fruit orchards, vineyards,  rolling green fields and trees. My sisters say that at moments they feel like they're in France. It is such an overwhelming visual.

Of course Sister Extraordinaire is once again arriving in style. Told you she vacations better than me.




We met the very cute winemaker while planning for our future. We included him in our future by joining the wine club. Now we will be able to enjoy their jazz concerts, ourdoor feasts and amazing wine.

Not looking too cute having just come from a dip in the pool.

Here is a bit about the book:

"Foer can place his reader's hand on the heart of human experience, the transcendent beauty of human connections. Read, you can feel the life beating." — Philadelphia Inquirer



Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination.



Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the attack on the World Trade Center. An inspired creation, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of characters who are all survivors in their own way. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close boldly approaches history and tragedy with humor, tenderness, and awe.


I can't put it down......
