Ta-da….Finally! The wines for May!

The flowers are dancing with the raindrops from this warm spring rain. A joyous dance…it is really pretty out!

We have put away the wines from April and have some lovely wines for the May! I have some new recipes to pair with these wines - some are even healthy! I like mixing up the healthy and the rich and cheesy – kind of like “naughty and nice”!

Happy Mother’s Day! …and Happy Mothers’ Day!

“”Motherhood is a lifelong journey that’s as unique as every woman who embarks on it. No other role defines us as deeply and fills us with as much compassion – or tests our strength and patience more extremely! No other relationship fills our hearts with as much love, wonder and awe for another human being>”

Here it is April 12th and I am just getting around to the April blog. April is such an eventful month in San Luis obispo– a great weekend rendez-vous for a wine event, an antiquing getaway or Parent’s weekend at Cal Poly. There are Earth Day Celebrations, Rib Cook-Offs at Farmer’s Market….and there are always the healthful activities like hiking and biking!

Bon Jour!

BonJour!!

Did anyone see "60 Minutes" last week? Alice Waters, of the famed Chez Panisse in Berkeley, numerous cookbooks etc., was on discussing organic farming and gardening, cooking with fresh ingredients and sustainable living. She hoped that our President Obama would be the first to grow an organic garden on the grounds of the White House. A great interview with Alice! I was inspired - and evidently the Obama's were too, as just this last week Michelle and some local children were on the nightly news planting a White House Victory Garden! Wonderful!

Last week I wrote this wonderful little blog. I quipped, "Nuts to the the old cliche` about March..'in like a lion and out like a lamb'" and then I continued with my feelings about the month of March and it's most magical and mystical qualities. I went on to glorify the emerald green hills around SLO county and the purple lupins and the magnificent mustard that glows golden throughout the hills and the vineyards. March, I noted again, is a magical month!

Bonjour guests and friends!

After 4 years at this glorious establishment, my last day at Petit will be this Thursday, March 19.

Its a bittersweet time for me. I've grown so much while working here and have met some of the most memorable and amazing people. The Conners have treated me as their own. We've laughed, cried, and shared some of the best experiences Petit has ever seen altogether as one big funny family.

As some of you may know, we do have a sister B&B in the Normady region of France. Now, I have not yet experienced it (wink, wink, John and Dianne) but we just got a delightful email from someone who has. Sharon and her husband are currently residing in England, and formerly lived in Pismo Beach. She just stumbled onto our website and noticed the correlation of us and the B&B she stayed at in France!
