Years ago,
before
Petit Soleil
was
even
an
apple in our eyes
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
the
I
worked
with
the
best people:
the grape growers
the wine makers
and
other folks
just
passionate
about wine
The head honcho
back then
was
Archie,
the quintessential wine aficionado
and
in our little office
were
Gail (second in command)
Diane (who got the jobs done)
Laura (who got the jobs done)
and
me (who helped get the jobs done)
Basically,
we
worked,
sometimes
laughing
'til tears
(often until we pee-ed)
it got us through the stress
of getting
events and marketing
maps and brochures
done
for the
grape growers
wine makers
and
folks passionate about wine
...
fast forward
is no longer
run
by
Archie
or
Gail
Diane, Laura or me
but
we four girls still do laugh 'til tears (2010)
and we get together whenever we can (2011)
sometimes we call Archie,
to just laugh
and harass him a bit
..
