We thought it would be fun to pretend to be Jim Bernau, President of Willamette Valley Vineyards. It was!
I WAS BORN WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND: ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD Becky Rochester would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant she could see the world, and that is what she did and continues to do today. She has lived in WI, IL, PA, CA, OR, New Zealand and Australia. Working in different wineries and vineyards and now a brewery, she lives life to the fullest. Sometimes following her heart instead of her head put her in some difficult situations, but she wouldn't change a thing.

Today I am thankful for...

Brent's 30th birthday weekend filled with great food, wine, beer and friends. Here we are Sunday at King Estate's Crab Fest. Cheers to a wonderful man. I am thankful he has joined me in the 30's club. |
 |
Ceasing opportunities that allow me to spend time with my family and leaving no room for regrets. |
 |
| My niece and nephews. They sure grow up fast! |
 |
My new job. Working from home has its advantages: can wear slippers, lunch time workouts at the gym, and not having to commute 2+ hours to per day isn't too bad either. Not to mention I love what I am doing and I am learning a lot. |
