So, you know what it’s like when you neglect to call someone and then time passes and then you still don’t call because so much time has passed that now it’s awkward and then even more time passes so you start avoiding the phone altogether and at this point the phone train has left the station and the only real solution is to change your name and move to another state?
Er… what I mean is, I have a big round-up post in the works! Three weeks worth! Coming soon!
MEANWHILE, let’s talk about a few events happening a bit north of the valley.

Sunday, July 20th from 6pm to 10pm: Wine Maker’s Dinner presented by the Dobbes Family Estate, “showcasing the local bounty of the Northwest and the exceptional diversity of the Dobbs Family Estate cellar.” To be held at the Brookside Inn (8243 NE Abbey Rd in Carlton).
