\u00a0Big news for us. \u00a0The best news was, this finally gave us the much-needed impetus to finish unpacking from the move. \u00a0Actually, &#8220;unpack&#8221; might be a bit of a stretch: \u00a0We just moved everything to a spare room, out of sight. \u00a0For that matter &#8220;We&#8221; might be a bit of a stretch too, Donette did most of it. \u00a0Meanwhile, I headed to the regular round of stores (Costco, Petsmart, and The Nugget) to do the weekly shopping. \u00a0All-in-all, a thoroughly exhausting afternoon. \u00a0It&#8217;s nice to finally see the living room floor though&#8230; \u00a0Turns out it&#8217;s actually a quite nice room, even if we don&#8217;t ever use it. \u00a0We decided the house was in passable shape, so we headed out for a late lunch around 3:00 or so. \u00a0Based on a recommendation, we landed at <a title=\"Ruff Haus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ruffhaushotdogco.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ruff Haus<\/a>, which opened recently near us. \u00a0I was pretty dang happy with our lunch. \u00a0The &#8216;dogs were really quite good, and the fries probably the best we&#8217;ve had here. \u00a0But, at the end of the day, my deep-seated cheapskate nature just can&#8217;t get past the fact I paid $35 for a hotdog lunch. \u00a0Not sure it&#8217;ll get worked into our rotation, no matter how good the french fries.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday I started the day off with a good long round of fetch up in the park with Teagan. \u00a0Gotta get that girl good and worn out now and then. \u00a0That afternoon our friends Mark &amp; Barb from KC swung by on their way back from Napa for a visit. \u00a0After a weekend in Napa they well may have seen enough wineries for a while, but we couldn&#8217;t think of anything else to do so that&#8217;s where we headed. \u00a0We&#8217;d heard good things about a place called <a title=\"Too Good\" href=\"http:\/\/www.toogoodwinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Too Good<\/a> (catchy name huh,) so we started our day there. \u00a0It was indeed a pretty fun place. \u00a0I&#8217;d call it more of an &#8220;event&#8221; than just a wine tasting, we spent our whole dang afternoon there. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll get back there soon, even if it is a whole 30 minutes from our house. \u00a0By the time we finally left there, it was actually quite late in the afternoon and we were starving. \u00a0We stopped at <a title=\"Village Toscano\" href=\"http:\/\/villatoscano.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Village Toscano<\/a>\u00a0for our second stop, mostly because we&#8217;d been there before and knew they had some good food available. \u00a0We absolutely killed a couple of delicious pizzas, which effectively ended our day. \u00a0We went from starving to miserably stuffed. \u00a0We decided to call it a day, and headed back home. \u00a0Fun times though; \u00a0The wineries are a good (cheap) way to pass the days out here!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1741\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/toogood.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1741\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1741\" alt=\"The storage caves at Too Good winery\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/toogood-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/toogood-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/toogood-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/toogood.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The storage caves at Too Good winery<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another fine weekend in the books. \u00a0Looks like it&#8217;s a good thing too, they&#8217;re actually predicting clouds next weekend, gasp. \u00a0Not the case this last weekend though, it was awesome. \u00a0Friday, as a matter of fact, it was so nice out that we met up for a pseudo-date on the patio at 36 Handles, one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1742,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1740\/revisions\/1742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
