Reba dear, you make this so easy. Yet I suspect that’s to be expected from a tech/nerd/pencil user like you (every nerd I know from Purdue and from similar haunts, uses a pencil more than should ever be necessary. Exhibit A: Son: Alexander, Georgia Tech, the five year plan, IE, pencil connoisseur, now in the mosh pit of flight planning for a Us based airlines company…and a complete Nerd [which I’m fond of pointing out to him and have been ever since my willingness to do 4 am wake-up's to complete and master his homework.] Honestly, I’d do that everyday for the rest of my life for that little guy. But guess what? The MF grew up! I know, how dare he!) . I digress.

So, to read your illuminations on wine, is for me, beyond priceless! I would never question your acumen of such a field (grape fields, haha…I’ve been out of circulation for a while), yet it’s nearly impossible for my mind to comprehend Reba and Wine without thinking Shari (Mom) and Dale B (Daddio) bringing their cute cuddly young ones to the traditional (untraditional) Friday jaunt at Penn St. While I and Lisa and Jennifer at times drank “little kings”…assuming we’d discovered the adult beverage of all time, you and that older sister of yours entertained us with your…baby-ness, your cuteness!!! It became very difficult to concentrate on anything or anybody else! You were beyond adorable!!!

Well, clearly you learned a thing or two from Mom and Daddio! They had way better taste in all things ‘tasteful’ and I will never forget where the beginning of said education began…a sunny and spacious porch with only a few wicker items to rest upon, with the white over-painted railing serving the rest of us. This totally worked from an industrial engineering perspective (IE) as we ( the young folk) were fetching little kings all night❤️

Love you, Bean
