Are you ready?

Every fam­ily should have a “Go Bag”, a col­lec­tion of items you may need in the event you should need to evac­u­ate your home with lit­tle to no notice. Ide­ally, each mem­ber of your fam­ily should have their own bag. A proper “Go Bag” should con­tain enough gear / sup­plies to pro­tect and sus­tain you under uncer­tain con­di­tions for no less than 72 hours. The items in your go bag should be spe­cific to your locale and per­sonal preference(**see below). Con­tinue read­ing

I went with a cou­ple of friends for some wine tast­ing last week­end. We had a great time even though it’s Decem­ber and it was very cold that day. Each vine­yard had their fire­place going and some mulled wine ready for patrons com­ing in from the cold. It was a very invit­ing scene. We were able to taste a few dif­fer­ent wines at each vine­yardCon­tinue read­ing
