November has always been a wonderful month. Not only is it a month of praise and thanksgiving, but we also celebrate a birthday of a very special lady- my mom! Oh, how I love her and what a great example she is to me, not only as a mother but as a friend. I can’t even think of all I have learned from her but the list is endless. I could not ask for a better mom, I feel truly blessed! I ask God for one thing and that is health for my parents. My thinking is if you are healthy, the rest is doable. For her birthday I wanted to do something different, so we went on a little day trip to Napa Valley. Both of us love Fall and what a better place to be than Napa to see all of the Fall has got to offer with it’s beauty. We also had a great opportunity to visit the Culinary Institute of America and attend one of their cooking classes. We had such a wonderful time! The tour was wonderful and we even got to taste some of the dishes that students made, which was such a treat. I must say, the best ribs I have ever had, it’s too bad I will never be able to make those myself, as the guy that made them went through two different culinary schools to learn how to make ribs. All in all, I can easily say that it was one of the best days I could have spent with my dearest mom.
