Viandel Vineyard

First Harvest




This is my most adorable aunt Cathy and my uncle Jon (ok, he's adorable, too). Check out their grapes! (that sounds kinda suspect). I haven't heard yet if they harvested enough grapes to make their first couple bottles of wine. How exciting is that? I have volunteered to relocate and run their Tasting Center in Mountain View MO. Stay tuned.....

Pssssssssssssssssssst!




My new bff from Long Island introduced me to DRY SHAMPOO.......... Remember it from the 70s? 50s? I don't know. It's nerdy. And you thought it was just for invalids and hobos? NO! Although hers was, sadly, confiscated at the airport and I couldn't first test it on myself, I took her word for it and purchased some today at CVS.

$6.50 and I admit I did kind of turned the can "psssssst" side down at the register while rationalizing I could be a saint, buying this for my poor old grandmother, bedridden with unkempt hair.

Unfortunately, I just washed my hair this morning and can't really test this stuff until my hair looks a little unsightly, which might be sunday.

I will keep everyone posted. Everyone except Dani, the re-inventor of Pssssssssssst! who had a most unfortunate plumbing accident today with her BlackBerry. (get an iPhone anyway, honey)


Husband's comment: THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SHOWERING


update: dani actually recommends BATISTE brand. and she knows
