Kiepersol Winery

Yesterday, my daughter called and told me of a Harvest Fest very close to my house. She said it was being held at the local winery (which we were unfamiliar with). We went and had a lot of fun. First we had a tour of the winery and the vineyards. Then, my daughter and grandson got into a large tub and stomped grapes. My grandson loved that. (They have a machine that does that for the wine they bottle) Then we tasted their different wines - nine different selections. There was a live band and a grape picking contest. All in all a fun day. Then, last night my brother was in from out of town with his brand new recipe for barbarque sauce which he had concocted himself. It was to die for. Everyone said it was the best they'd every tasted. He was giving a B-Day party for one of his best friends and brought smoked brisket, sausage links, and chicken. The sauce made the meal, thought. Sweet and tangy, with just enough heat. Wonderful!!! Before, between, and after, I worked on my writing. I got my minimum completed, but missed by goal by a few. Too much living. LOL I told my brother I had fallen behind in my walking but that my writing count had improved. He said, "Yeah, now you just write about someone walking 2.5 miles every day, and boy, are they losing the weight." LOL I'm afraid he's right. :D Onward and Upward.
