No, not Camp Rock, Rock Camp.
Or, more specifically, Girls Rock NC Camp!
Yep, Grace is at Rock Camp. An organization called Girls Rock NC is putting on a Rock-n-Roll camp this week.
So, today was day one. Her Dad dropped her off this morning, so I didn't see her till dinner time. She is WAY psyched. This may be the most fun she's ever had.
Her band is called Sparkling Horses; apparently their Band Manager (i.e. camp counsellor) is a big fan of Sparklehorse, so they took their name from there. Grace is the lead singer, there are 4 other girls in the band: a guitarist/backup singer, a bass player, a drummer and a keyboardist. Grace actually knows the keyboardist from pre-school, so I'm kinda hoping they make it big, just for the wikipedia entries ("Cohen and keyboardist Rachel Cullen first met at 6 months in day care, but waited until elementary school to form Sparkling Horses")!
So, yes, she's have a great time. More Rock Camp updates later!

I KNEW that was going to happen!
So, in my continuing saga of self-awareness, I take quizzes. Mainly Facebook, granted: Which Vampire Would you Be, Which Crazy Southern Writer Would You Be, When Would You Die In a Horror Movie, etc.
So, today I took a quiz from some psychic association to see if I have The Gift to be a psychic.
Turns out, I don't.
But I knew that was going to happen!!!

Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July!!!!
I had a really good day. David and I toured the wineries on the Haw River Wine Trail. It's four wineries within the Haw River watershed; all relatively small. At least one does import grapes from other areas, but mostly the grapes are grown, if not at the vineyard/winery itself, at least in the region.
It was fun. North Carolina wines don't have the, um, complexity, shall we say, of a wine from the more traditional areas. But, particularly for people who really don't like white wines, the lightness of the wines can be nice. We found a lot of reds that were perfect summertime reds.
Plus we drove around the countryside and tasted a lot of wine!
When we got back, we stopped quickly by a Whole Foods, then went to hear the NC Symphony do a Pops concert, followed by fireworks. Yummy food, new wine, good music and fireworks. It just doesn't get much better than that!
