Brew Review Practice and Reminders....

3/25/2012

Brew Review Practice...

After a meeting with 2 fabulous ladies, who are coordinating the Brew Review, I was inspired to practice my pouring ability and begin training for the big event.  I am a firm believer in training for all Team Vogel events...

So - when I arrived at my mom and dad's, I got to work.  Mom and dad are not able to hang like they used to - so I turned to a younger crowd.

Before viewing practice round #1 - please note...no animals were injured during this photo shoot and only animals over the age of 21 were able to sample.

Picture
Mags was quite the sipper - kicking back and savoring the flavor.
Picture
Frita may have over done it. When you play hard - one beer and bone will do you in...
Picture
Hoping these Ladies can at least keep their heads up in practice round #2.
Picture
And...The mature Zoe, tasting a quality beer and truly enjoying it.
All in all - I think we did pretty good for round #1.  I am hoping the younger girls can hang better next time.  Hope many of you are brushing up on your brew sampling techniques...

The Beach (sorta)...

This past week - I had the opportunity to get away and visit my aunt and uncle in Georgia.  It was amazing.  The weather was perfect - the food was amazing - the company wonderful and two of my all time favorite things...the beach and baby animals :).

Before I share my week in pictures.  I realized two things while on this vacation...

Walking the beach is wonderful - but I always end up a with a stiff neck and not knowing what the surrounding area looks like.  I proudly carry on the family tradition of shell searching - obsessor.  I walk the beach and can not take myself away from the shells - they are amazing and everyone unique.  I collected my fair share and plan to make some jewelry creations out of them.  Here are some of my finds.
Picture
I seem to be draw to the circular ones.
Picture
Some variety.
Please don't think I'm crazy with this story and next photo...

So as I'm out on the beach - my mind wonders from this thought to that...  I think - "Joe if your out there, please put a really cool shell in my path."  And what happens in 4 steps...  This masterpiece appears :).
Picture
The second thing I realized (I actually already knew) - I love animals and especially baby ones.  I would be the happiest gal in the world to raise baby animals all day long.  So - not only did I get to the beach, I stumble across some cute friends at the neighbors...If they only would have fit in my suitcase - I know my mom would have treasured her souvenir.  

Quick side note - just looked up what souvenir's actual definition is...
Picture
Not sure these bundles of joy fall under category #1 completely, but they would definitely be #2.
Picture
Meet the Kids - they were 1 day old.
Picture
Trying out their legs...
Picture
Picture
One whispers to the other - "Do you think she'll keep us?"
Picture
The Mama Pig - Super cute in her own way.
Picture
A little one with a big attitude. This one needed some tough - love training.
Picture
Just like puppies...
Picture
Hard to believe 1 yr. ago I had little ones this big.
Hoping all of you had a great week too.  

Love and Hugs -

A Thank You...Fools Five...Family Nominations...and The Brew Review...

3/11/2012

Thank You!!!

Thank You to the WSHS Service Learning Students!!!!

Sometimes it is hard to find the words to truly express how grateful you are.  I sometimes wish tears would come to show how appreciative I am…

This past year – Team Vogel has been embraced by the Winona Senior High School Service Learning Class.  In the fall they raised over $500 for Team Vogel by selling Team Vogel merchandise at school and other fundraising efforts.  I was invited to this semesters class this past week to receive funds they had raised for Team Vogel over the past months...They handed me a check for $2,000.  AMAZING!

As I am typing this - it truly is not the money that strikes me the most...It is the fact that Joe's dream lives on in others.  I watched 60 students embrace the "Pay it Forward" philosophy.  They worked together as a team.

Thank you to all who have embraced us and continue to - we are living Joe's dream.

Along with the check - I was also given an indoor float created by some of the students that was entered in the 2012 Winterfest Indoor Float Contest.  If my memory is working this float won 1st place.  And...  even shoots confetti.  I can't wait to have it featured at upcoming events.

Picture
They are working on getting a pressure gage installed before I bring home this masterpiece.

Fools Five is COMING!!!

Dust off your sneakers and start training.  The Fools Five Road Race is just around the corner.  Hope to see many of you there...I just signed up today.

The Weekend...Thoughts...A Picture...and the Puppies

3/4/2012

The weekend...
So hang with me - It has been an amazing weekend.  Joe's mom hit a big milestone, in her birth years, and we whooped it up this weekend in the cities.  It was a weekend full of fun, food...lots of food, and laughter.  Cheers to all and thank you to the Kosidowski's for housing us.  

Thought...
So my thought for the week came from a book I just finished...

"When life is at its most unexpected, it's not what you lose that makes you who you are, it's what you find."

Truly this has made me ponder...  It has made me appreciate the search for the new me and how I continue to still find the one thing I felt I had lost...


A Picture...

Just a fridge update and a reminder that it is the best season ever - girl scout cookies season.
The Puppies...

Trying to take a photo with the girls...

This is not a hickey...One of the little vampires in the above photo got me good.

Sorry mom about your scarf...I tried to dress the girls in blue on Friday and all they wanted to do was shred it.

Kisses.

She might have a bone obsession...

Hey Mom - Can you hurry up? I would like my bone back...
