Olympic pandas arrive and some winery fun!

CLICK PHOTO TO READ ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE

I thought you all might like to read the article about the 8 pandas who arrived safely at the Beijing Zoo from Wolong. Amid all of this crisis caused by the earthquake in China they managed to get the Olympic pandas to their final destination safely. One of the youngsters chosen was adopted recently by Metal Tribe member Chet Chin!

Thank you all for getting your checks out to me so quickly. You will find lots of red asterisks popping up on the TRIBAL TALK page as your payments come rolling in!!

On another topic, yesterday we visited a couple of our favoite wineries in the stunning Willamette Valley. My personal favorite being Cristom. Not only for the wines but the incredible gardens on the property. Check out the flowers in bloom and a few other winery images by clicking the thumbnails below. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

    Sandy — The Cristom winery is literally across the road from my mom’s old house. We love that area…beautiful country! I think you’ve inspired a lot of people with your panda projects. Your passion is a wonderful thing! Enjoy the holiday weekend.Becky
