hi there.

i have a hard time putting all this into words. they just don’t makeum like the used to, you know?

maybe just a few words. i bet you can use that lively imagination of yours to fill in the rest.

last weekend Eugenia Zukerman, Bogdan Jianu, and Burkhard Maiss played some lovely chamber i mean cellar music here at the winery.

the ensemble arrived in the middle of the week, so we spent a couple of days taking in the local attractions::

.

.

the world’s largest rocking chair.

[not to be confused with the world's largest cedar rocking chair]

.

.

.

the vacuum cleaner museum.
[which was in large part a commentary on women's lib.]

here we meet
this guy::

tom gasko was put on this earth to sell vacuums. just say his name. tom gasko.

i hoovered back and forth, couldn’t decide whether to be inspired or terrified by this man’s passion for the vacuum.

and of course.

walmart.

bogdon and burkhard live in germany and apparently germany kicked walmart out back in 2006 so the boys have to get their $12 jeans overseas.

.

and now, this.
