Meritage

Five minutes out of Keremeos we stop at the Seven Stones winery because we like the name. Seven Stones. Handcrafted wine.

Danny the Golden Retriever meets us on the stone path to the winery but disappears after wagging his tail and smiling at us. We try four different wines and each buy a bottle of Meritage for more money than we should have spent. It's noon, and there is no way we will get to Vulcan by 5 pm.

Theresa jumps into Christina Lake and we pay 1.69 per litre for gas. I make up for it by getting a bag of kettle corn and we drive late into the night, landing in Lethbridge and the Days Inn, our fingers sticky.

Theresa plays a Nancy Griffith song on her guitar and we both check email.
