Apple Hill
Me, Debby and my brother decided to head up the hill yesterday morning. Debby was without Megan, I was trying to get out of a one-way depression and my brother is living life.
The ride up was gorgeous. We don't have many colored trees in our area but the few we saw were incredibly vivid and poppy outty. i couldn't get a picture because Debby drives too bumpy. but here's an idea:
There were TONS of vineyards up here. i was surprised at how many, so we're planning a wine trip soon in Janets massive caravan with Chris as our chauffeur. Probably girls only since men don't drink wine. Typically.
By the time we got there, there was a pretty long car line so we enjoyed some witty repartee and fun conversation. The day was absolutely beautiful. We only stopped at one place because they're all pretty much the same; lots of apples & vendors. Since I'm on my 500 calorie a day diet, I thought it would be really hard to be here; but, it wasn't. the only thing i eyed about 72 times was the blackberry sour cream apple pie. GOD does that not sound fabulous???
Anyway, here were are in a private cornfield right before the owner came out with his shotgun
When we were getting ready to leave, we decided to cruise on over to the beautiful tomato farm just down Hwy 50. Now tomatoes I can have so I was pretty excited. On the way there, we passed this little cafe in Placerville called the Cozmic Cafe. It's a darling place that's actaully built in to the side of a hill that was used in the old gold mining days. So when you walk past the baristas and tables, you'll head in to the actual tunnel that goes deep in to the underground. it's even cold like you'd expect. WHY didn't i get a picture!!!
Anyway, after our tea & coffee we headed to the tomato farm which, majorly disappointingly, was closed. SUCKED! But Debby was telling us on one of her outings up here, they passed an Alpaca farm. She said they are totally weird looking and 15 minutes later, we were by that farm. I asked her to pull over so i could get some pictures.
3 words. They Are Darling. I'm opening an Alpaca Farm
Now, I don't take good pictures anymore but i have to say, i look hot here. Oh and the alpacas are cute too.
Chris was taking a picture of us but i fell in to a hole...simple shit like that makes Debby and Tanya Simpleton laugh hard.
each one has a grass in their mouth. These animals are incredibly sweet too. really. i'm getting one.
and this was Lilly. She had a tracheotomy and had to breath through that hole in her neck. SHE was INCREDIBLY loving. In fact, we couldn't get her off us... look at her little teeth sticking out. they dont have teeth on the top; just the bottom. weird huh.
She was quite smittened with Debby.
When we were getting ready to leave, we chatted with the owner for a few more minutes and Lilly came over and just pressed her long-ass neck in to my body to be petted. I just wanted to BEAT her!
the owner talked us in to going to her store (of course...money, money, money) and before i did i climbed on more hill and snapped this picture. she looks like Where the Wild Things Are.
We all suck together when it comes to spending money. But we have so much fun. and we all bought hats. Debby's hat was soooo friggin soft that when you touched the edges with your fingertips you cound't feel the hat. THAT'S how soft it was. (sorry it's blurry but the clear one that came out and looks good of the other two, i have 14 chins and its my blog so i ain't posting it)
Okay. this picutre is fricking hilarious. Debby is a russian model, chris is doing something gay and my ass is about 5 feet FROM center of photo. like you could slide right down my back in to a pool. hahhahahah....but really, i am skinny.
and THIS is from my iphone on the drive home...pretty good huh?
When we got home, Debby and i made a lovely salad full of deliciuos flavor that only Debby can create, and an hour later i was in bed, happy & sleepy.

When she got oddly amorous, my brother, the protector, stepped in.
Then she took her business to me. I'm easier.

as bad of a day as i had friday and started to on saturday a day with a friend and a brother completely 180'd me. it has spilled in to today too.
life is a long fucking road; but, pepper it with little rich things and it doesn't seem too undoable.

what is that alpaca doing 'behind' debbie - and what? Men do drink wine, men also cook and men also make clothes - there isnt ANYTHING that men dont do! Women on the other hand....well.....they are good for men to have around! LOL
this was one the best days ever. i wore my pink hat to bed. i love your "slide" haha
and chris should be happy his balls are tickling my arm in the russian model/ slide photo. the finger guru. ew
and pepper it with CAYENNE!
well DB...would you like to come with us then??
i'm buying cayenne today to see if all your hype is true.
looks like a wonderful day!
Also, blackberry sour cream apple pie? Sounds amazing!
Looked like you all had fun- and men do drink wine, just not out of those dinky wine glasses... Another flagon, wench! Arrrh....
all right all right!!! Men drink wine! geesh...looks like men get all sensitive too!
hhahaha...funny.
Wow, that looks like you all had so much fun. The russian model, gay guy and your slide back made me howl with laughter. You are so effing funny Tanya Simpleton:)
OMG those alpacas are too hilarious and adorable. They don't swat at you with their long necks? I'd be scared of head-butting.
