Alana's Wine Fest. - and new house rule (dishes!)

Last night we stayed home and watched Happy Feet (the one with the penguins) with the kids.
Friday night we went to Alana's for a large party - all the usual suspects plus Robert and Jennifer and her friends Debra and Barb, and her horse trainer and her husband (Janet and Mike).
Alana opened a half case of Silver Oaks Cabernet (from Napa valley), she had a bottle for each year from '89 - '94, so we compared them. The '89 and the '93 were generally considered the best. They were Very Good. Everyone brought appetizers, and it was at Alana's so of course there was way more food than we needed. I brought the asparagus ham wraps we had at Mom and Dad's at Christmas, and they went quickly. It was a lot of fun.

The kids stayed home and cooked a frozen pizza by themselves! They did a great job except they forgot to clean up after themselves. They forgot again last night before the movie, so now there is a new rule:
Whoever sits in the "GET" chair (the one closest to the kitchen - they switch off every month.) is in charge of keeping the kitchen clean. The other one is in charge of getting garbage and recyclables out to the garage.
