Turkey Day in Fresno

The holiday weekend consisted mostly of the usual fare – family and tons of fabulous food. Of course, any outing with the Hunter Clan is guaranteed to produce a few memorable moments. This year was no exception. The first surprise was a doozy… Imagine your standard-issue bar stool strapped atop a custom built five horse-power motorized platform tooling down the road at 35 miles per. That pretty much sums up my almost-brother-in-law’s latest masterpiece. She’s a wee bit top heavy with thedude on board, (read: DANGEROUS!) but a hoot to drive nonetheless. No helmet required, although full body armor is probably a good idea.


Another treat this time out was visiting my pals Greg and Kathleen in her lovely home. (LOVE that red wall!) Turns out they live less than two miles from Kelly’s parents. Greg can be a bit too generous with the wine and tequila, but hey, who’s complaining? Certainly not me.

    Hmmm, me thinks it was actually 24 and 7/8, but hey, who’s counting? Yes, believe it or not, EVERY single time we’ve been out to Madera for wine tasting, we’ve lost our way. The funniest time being when we tried to find Quady, and stopped to ask directions at some scary “stop and rob”. The locals gave us the blankest look, pointed EXACTLY across the street, and said, “Um , yeah it’s right over there”…duhhhh…Of course the funniest/annoying bit was that it was CLOSED due to some sort of re-paving…..DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeesh, where the ding dang do Greg and Kathleen live? Looks suspiciously like some “Oaktown” lofts I’ve been to…..:-)

    Hey there…and I thought you were a direct decendant of those great “adventurers”, Louis & Clark. Or was that bad info in your bio?
