Happy Father's Day!

Just a portion of the Dad's Day gifts from me and Alyssa.  She picked on up his comment when we were visiting in Delaware last month that he liked the coffee Troy and Kim were serving.  She picked some up at Starbucks for him.  In addition, she got him a tape measure.  That may seem like a boring gift, but there's a story attached to that :-)  For years, she got him a tape measure each year for Christmas.  It got to the point, it was getting old, so she stopped.  And he noticed.  So she picked one up for him today.  He was happy :-)

Many years ago, Kurt and I ate at the Cascade Lodge below Easton.  We had a bottle of wine from Sand Castle Winery.  We loved it.  At the time, we didn't realize it was a local winery.  For quite a while, we searched for the wine at many of our local liquor stores.  Last month when Alyssa and I went to visit Erika, we went to a shopping center very similar to the Promenade Shoppes in Center Valley.  Didn't they have a Sand Castle wine tasting store!!!!  I nearly died!!!  I mean, it was probably close to 20 years ago that we had been at the Cascade Lodge and tasted that wine!!!  I bought three bottles of wine, two wine glasses and one bottle of strawberry balsamic vinegar :-)


Marinated flank steak, rice pilaf, tossed salad for lunch today.  Kurt loves marinated flank steak!
