Pictures of the October 2004 Choir Advance
On the way to Rio Villa, we paid a visit to the Korbel Cellars for a nice lunch. Of course, I had to take some pictures. Below are pix of some of the flora on the grounds.

When we did get to Rio Villa, the room was clean and comfortable, and we decided to check out the grounds. Here are some views of the grounds and the river.

The view from the back of the property overlooking the Russian River. |
Three of the locals - at least temporarily. |
Here
are a couple more of the local fauna - they bear a striking resemblance to Susan & Nancy! :-) |

The view from the river looking up to the Rio Villa property. |
And, of course, I couldn't bypass the plants, like this hydrangea... |
And these roses. |
We had a lot of fun in the back yard. People shared their talents. Rich did some magic, Diana and Janet spoke, and Bill sang a song while on crutches and didn't touch the ground once during the song. (This was the hit of the evening.)

This
is how Ray whips the choir into
shape. Should anyone sing flat... :-) |
The
barbecue was fun - that's
Cleda with a typical pose. :-) |
And
the next day we got to sing for
Unity Spiritual Center in Windsor. |
All in all it was a fabulous weekend, with a fantastic lunch in a French restaurant in Santa Rosa. Couldn't have been better.
