Barbara and turtle wine

This is going to be a short blog as I am in Tofino (by the ocean). Yesterday morning we went out to buy wine. I found a bottle of white called "Painted Turtle". I told my friend Barbara (my friend from school who is with us in this beautiful part of the world) that we had to get it. I said it is in honor of a phenomenal lady whose name is also Barbara. I explained who Barbara was and the impact she has had on all our lives. In the evening we toasted Barbara.
I think she was reminding me to lighten. I usually do not drink white wine but I enjoyed every sip.
Barbara - I will meet you one day in Heaven with our children. Please give Lisa a hug for me!

Hi Marlene, I never had the opportunity to meet Barbara either but just as her sweet spirit travelled through Cyberspace her sweet spirit will continue to touch others from Heaven. Cheers! Love to you and Lisa, Linda

I\'ve never heard of painted turtle wine but I\'m sure you were meant to celebrate and toast our fearless leader. Enjoy the ocean. Love Robin
