Wine Tasting Tour – California 12/2019
Wine Tasting Tour – California – A special treat from our Son & Daughter in Law.
1. KORBEL – They coined the “champagne” title before it became fashionable to use that title & they were “grandfathered” in. We also went “behind the scenes” & saw how they progressed through the years & updated their process with machines. Nice tour and great Champagne. 
2. COPPOLA WINERY – 300 Via Archimedes, Geyserville, CA 95441, http://francisfordcoppolawinery.com
Classic Car
Godfather’s Desk
Celebrating this special lady’s birthday at Coppola’s Restaurant “Rustic.”
What can I say, “the Q’s love Coppola wines & Sophia Coppola’s Blanc de Blanc wine” & dining at Coppola’s “Rustic” Restaurant.
3. CLINE – 24737 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, CA 95476, (707) 940-4044, https://clinecellars.com Cute place – good wines. Mrs. Q is tapped out!

Linda Ronstadt – The sound of my voice – 1/2020
Linda Ronstadt – The sound of my voice. LINDA RONSTADT: The Sound of My Voice is a musical biography of one of the most successful and versatile female singers of the 20th century — and one of the most successful recording artists of all time. At the height of unprecedented success, Ronstadt, a restless and adventurous artist, turned away from pop music to explore an astonishing variety of musical styles, from American standards to country to classical operetta before circling back to her family roots with traditional Mexican canciones. Withstanding constant pressure from a risk-averse industry, Linda insisted on following her musical instincts. Today Ronstadt has Parkinson’s disease and her magnificent singing voice has been silenced. But rather than letting that voice be lost to history, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice tells Linda’s story through her own words and music, and by such professional colleagues as Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Aaron Neville among many others.
Q-tips say: Liked it. A beautiful, deeply moving and well-deserved tribute to this utterly singular woman and her talent. It is a celebration of a life in music. You will enjoy the music.

Kathy Nails – Felton CA 12/2019
KATHY NAILS -6198 Hwy 9, Felton, CA 95018 -(831) 335-9522, http://kathy-nails-felton.com
This was a Mom & Daughter holiday treat. We had our manicure/pedicure & had quite alot of laughs. The Nail shop is very clean & good service & they offer tea for your enjoyment.
The daughter wanted Mom to get the “sparkle treatment.” We both declined “sparkle treatment” for now. Mom got a pink color nail polish & the daughter chose a darker color. However, Mom gave her Daughter the nickname “sparkles” and my daughter gave me the nickname “Pinky.” What a fun time alone together. Signed, Pinky.

Sawasdee by the Sea Rest. 12/2019
Sawasdee by the Sea Thai Rest. – 101 Main St, Santa Cruz, CA 9506 – (831) 466-9009
Q-tips say: The restaurant was a short walk from the Christmas Holiday Train, so everyone went here. The Q-tips are not real excited about Thai food but we did find Wonton Soup & Fried Chicken on the menu which was very tasty. The rest of the Family & Friends enjoyed their Thai choices.
