Today, I have two small businesses and manage to work in the vineyard almost every day --- growing grapes is a passionate, but hard, business.
Today, I am on BOD of Paso Robles Rotary and President of the Independant Grape Growers Association.
Our son and family live in Dallas area, so we are flying there 4-5 times a year to see the 4 yr old granddaughter and one and a half year old grandson.
