slow thursday

not much to report today...we're staying at the farmhouse inn in the russian river valley for the rest of the week. we arrived late last night and have a killer room. there's a fireplace, flat screen tv, and a huge bathroom. the bathroom has a slate counter top (black, but other than color, identical to my green slate at the lake), a steam shower and a slate soaking tub -- all very chic.

we were the only ones here last night/this morning. breakfast was fresh fruit (i'm so jealous that cali has super ripe strawberries right now) and farmhouse scrambled eggs with salmon (delish) and homemade lemon-rosemary bread with strawberry preserves. so good.

we're sort of wined out for the time being, so we're just taking it easy (plus it's gray outside) today. i've also completely lost my voice and have been coughing up a lung, so being close to the steam shower is a good idea. tonight's dinner is here at the inn and tomorrow we're scheduled for massages. we might also hit some shopping and a winery or two before our dinner at cyrus in healdsburg. i promise to have pithier comments tomorrow....and maybe even get kevin drunk enough to blog himself.

Darn it. I typed a comment, didn't have a user name and I lost the comment after joining the username...yada!yada! I am so jealous of you both. I hope the trip is as much fun as it reads in the blogs. Enjoy your time, food, and wine. It is raining and gloomy on the Cow rd. We had some bad storms Tuesday night..spent a lot of the time listening for trains coming our way. I'm home sick with the flu..so I'm enjoying reading your blog. Take care and happy trails.
