Poor Bolts

 His skin is so sensitive - and his ears.  Seems like he is always licking his feet raw.  And now he has a massive ear infection.  Look at all the medicine they had to put him on!

And

We've still gotten to Polo this summer (enjoying our Bill Hill wine from Napa)

 Even though, Chris has been bogged down this summer with contract calls, etc (and I'm sure it will be even crazier this fall once the businesses are being merged)

 We are still making time to train for another Ironman!! ( Bolts likes to be included when we do our indoor training rides :))

Race car back in Reno, NV!

 The Bonneville race car was picked up last week & shipped back to Reno - to the Peckerheads. It was sad to see it go.

 Chris did a lot of cool things - including building a new manifold (I lost the pictures :( ).  So, here's hoping it will break the land speed record in August!  Go GO Go

Woodrow was in the paper!

Our Woodie made it into the local newspaper :)

 So cool!! - and see the guy in the picture above - the one on the right?  He's 96 & still works in his garage every day - WOW!  Pretty cool.  We see him at car shows all the time.  Lucky guy!

Cubs & Red Sox Baseball Game!

 Tickets to Fenway to see the Cubs & Red Sox!  Fun times - and the Cubbies won - yay!!

It was a warm warm summer night - the kind I love.  No coat needed :)

Enjoying a day of local wine tasting

Who knew we had such a great group of our own winery's in New England!  Well, we do!!

 Our friends were getting married in NV, so we wanted to give them a local gift.  We decided on wine - and my girlfriend had a cute idea to add to it (see below)
Chris & I were originally just going to run into a couple wineries, and just buy a few bottles.  But, the wine was so inviting, it was a Beautiful day, so we decided to relax and enjoy it.
1st stop - Running Brook Farms in Dartmouth, MA - a lot of whites - and they were delicious!  (I found out that I'm allergic to some reds - so I was happy to see all the white wines!)

 Next stop - Westport

 Oh, did I forget to mention that we did this little trip in Woodrow??  Well, it made it all the more fun!

 And our final stop - Sakonnet.  Bolts enjoyed the day with us as well ;)

 We bought a ton of wine!  One bottle for them, 2 for us....  well, we did need some whites...

 So, my friend, Erin had seen this adorable letter that has a saying for 9 bottles of wine - drink this one on your anniversary, drink this one on your first snowfall, drink this one after your first fight, etc.  Of course  they are written very cleverly, which makes it even more fun.  So, this is our gift to our friends in Reno - I hope they enjoy it!  We sure had fun picking the wine and putting the gift together!

Update

Summer has been going fast!  Of course, that's normal :)  Our flowers bloomed this year!  These orange ones get eaten by deer (while they are still bulbs) almost every year, so I was so happy to see them actually bloom this year!

 Chris has been in crazy negotiations the last couple of months -with his business.  So our weekends are hit & miss - we have had to cancel a lot of plans, and then just make do with quick dinners out, or short sailing trips.  Which has been ok too, of course.  We are still enjoying ourselves - once Chris is off the phone, hahaha.

 Flowers from our other pots :)  And on July 3rd, my phone drowned, so I lost a lot of my summer pictures.  Bummer!

 But Chris' business deal has closed, and my phone has been replaced.  It's all Good!

 Cute Mr Bolts!  Happy Summer!!!
