Dancing in the Rain








I had an email this morning from a high school friend...one of those emails that tries to make you feel good, be glad for what you have. It was sweet, but there was one line that really rang my bell....."'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.' Thank you , Bill.




Now I'm getting email asking where my blog is! Sorry, I have been a little preoccupied with cooking and painting. But, I'm back for more fun with stuff in the kitchen, the vineyard and the painting studio.

Art in the Vines




The Art in the Vines project is going well, I'm pretty excited! Thanks to Becky and Laurie at ARTichokes Gallery, the artists are lining up to enter. We are going to have some wonderful art work in our show at Somerset Ridge Vineyard and Winery. The show date is Saturday, June 13th and we are all praying it is nice weather by then! We are expecting possible snow this weekend! Thank heavens the art event is still 2 months away.

Beautiful Blue Heron by Claudia True........................










The artists who have committed to the show so far, are Becky Pashia (painter), Kristin Goering (painter), Ernst Ulmer (painter), Ada Koch (painter), Claudia True (painter), Winnie Davis (painter), Vicki Johnston (painter), Diane Boone (painter), Mike Driggs (sculptor), and Amy Johnson, (jewelry). I am sure we will have more by this time next week. We are planning on 15 to 20 artists.





I'm still waiting to hear if the "Buffalo Painter of Western Kansas" will be joining us! I certainly hope he does, with Somerset Ridge Buffalo Red and Buffalo Blush wines, it's a natural!




Remember our challenge? Have you made the German Beer Coffee Cake yet? I want to know what you think of the recipe by tomorrow! Maybe you need Coffee Cake for Saturday morning breakfast! You can find the recipe on my blog for March 30th, below the Woman with power tools blog. Good Luck and let me hear how it turned out! I've already made it....let's compare notes!


Have a great weekend!
