Broken Things

Have you ever wondered how to fix broken things?
Some things can be fixed...like a broken necklace or a broken window...

...but how do you repair a broken brain or a broken relationship or a broken heart?

My only answer is to Pray to God...Amen

Happy Birthday Memories

I feel blessed today because it is a special day for birthdays.

My Mom was born on this day 86 years ago and my local granddaughter shares the same birth date - but only 81 years later.

 

I know Mom is looking down and smiling upon you on this special day, "Miss G"!

Happy Birthday from your Blogging Grandma!

One of My Birthday Gems...

Today was not like any other birthday in the recent years...today we found a couple local gems - and almost every woman loves gems!
 Here is the story of my first gem...

The other night I saw that it is Sacramento Brew Week with a wide variety of sampling venues. The founder/brewer that was interviewed was Dave Mathis of American River Brewing Company . He talked about the local company and their beers. I was more intrigued when I found out they are just a few miles from where I am so I decided a trip to their tasting room was in order.
We made the short trip to the brewery and tasting room only to find that their tasting room hours are Wednesday through Friday afternoons.
I did check the door and found Dave Mathis inside. He was very gracious -especially when I let him know it was my birthday and that I worked on his normal tasting room hours. 
 
My husband and I were both surprised at how good each of the sampled micro-brews tasted...from the AU Golden Ale to the Coloma Brown and the unshown Watusi! You can find a description of each beer here. 

Thank You Dave for helping make my birthday a little more special than it already was!
