I've had lots of welcoming emails from many residents in my new town this week. You are all the friendliest people I have never met!
As someone posted a comment yesterday saying they saw me in the local newspaper, this set off a barage of emails from many of my long time readers asking how they could find the articles.
You are all very persistant. I like that about you.
They were published earlier this week in the News-Register. You can find the first one here and the second article right here.
Have a great day everyone, more to come about a fabulous dinner we had last night. I have to be able to button my pants again before I can write about it.

Great press Cathy! Oregon is lucky to have you and I’m so glad you are being welcomed into such a wonderful and beautiful community! Keep the details coming our way! Cannot wait to hear what happens next…
LOL, this is why I LOVE reading your blog. You are so darn funny….love the comment about buttoning your pants!
OMG those were some good articles! OMG I am so excited for you. You just got there and you are already in the dang paper! Woman, you are going to take over the world.
After reading the article about you and your family I am even more impressed by you and excited for you!
Have you finished unpacking?
What fantastic articles!! Congratulations!

hi cathy
i cant wait to put a bottle of Noble Pig in my wine rack. wishing you great success.
Great articles, Cathy! Anxiously awaiting the wine availability too!
Driving by McMinnville I noticed they had street signs on the road telling you where the wineries were. Will there be one for Noble Pig???
Uh….no.
One day my friend…one day.
Awesome articles girlie…I loved you before, but even more so now.
Yes…you HAVE to come to Blogfest next year. The Wine One One was just too funny! I haven’t heard what the total was but I am thinking close to 70 bottles were consumed over three days! We are going to try and get Bobby Flay to come and cook for us!!
What wonderful articles written about you and your family. It is so much fun for me to watch people live their dreams! Good for you!
You famous you!
I saw the 2nd article, and now have read the first. I love the “managing the mud” phrase!
I can’t wait to sip your wine! Ever consider cider?
What a grand adventure! Glad I’m “virtually” along for the ride!
What a nice article! It looks as though y’all are fitting in perfectly in your new hometown. Congratulations!
What lovely articles bout you.. I am so happy to follow along with you on this exciting journey!
When can we get some wine from you?
Love both articles Cathy – very well written! I never knew that your hubby had a chronic illness – but I’m glad that it didn’t stop you from pursuing another dream. I’m also happy that you are settling into your new life! Mazol Tov!
Excellent articles, Cathy. And you know what? I didn’t know that about the Wild Boar. I guess I missed that part if you ever mentioned it on the blog. Sorry!
Great articles Cathy. I dont remember reading about your husband health troubles. No fun..But when one door closes another one opens. And it opened to your dream of wine!
wow Cathy those are very cool articles. I have Meneire’s disease too. You’ve always been making something delicious from lemons. Rawk on girl, you make my buttons bust with pride.
First time I read about your husband health. What a nice way to start all over again. Love your story and wish you all the luck for the future.
Those articles were great and thank you for sharing them with us! I learned so much more about you and it only made me more fascinated (and slightly jealous) about your new life. How great that you and your family are living out a dream.
Hi Cathy .. it was good to get some more background of you all .. good luck with it all. I look forward to getting to the butterscotch recipe .. and holding power over my world!
Wonderful .. have fun .. you will and the site is brilliant – well done for starting it .. let alone clearing the Scotch broom, blackberries and Douglas firs!
By the way – does the Scotch broom smell of pineapple?
It sounds as though another project is for an apple orchard .. for ashthma girl ..
Have a good weekend ..

Cathy,
I always know that you are such a wonderful woman and wife. I am terribly sorry to read about WB illness, but look at you my dear… you are strong and I admire you for that. Big hugs to all of you.

Super articles! You are famous! Wow!
Taking lemons to make lemonade was truly embodied in your journey to the great NW! And welcome
I live up in Seattle, but if there was any place that could compete with the greenery up here it is Oregon. I hope you are able to make sufficient paths through the boxes etc. It took me about three months to make it look like I had unpacked…just don’t look in the closets…Enjoy your new adventure, mostly because I enjoy living vicariously through your blogs! Cheers!
IMPRESSIVE!!!!! I can’t think of another word except impressive…you are! I’m not kidding your list keeps getting longer and longer about your greatness!!!
It sounds like you are in a wonderful community. Those were both great articles about you, your family, winery, and blog. I really enjoyed learning more about you and the history of Noble Pig.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I forgot to say….I love saying that you’re my friend because you comment on my blog {like I know you or something} but I feel like I do….thank you for ALWAYS taking time to do that….YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Loved the articles!!!!
Congratulations on the article(s)!!! As for my pants and me…I stick to elastic waist pants when I’m going to indulge!
What terrific write ups! How exciting this venture is and will continue to be for you and your family!
I used to live in McMinnville when I was younger. Now I live right near Bob’s Red Mill. I love that place! Great breakfast too!
It sure was fun reading about you. Best of luck to you! :0)
Great articles! You’re off to such a good start in your new home. It must feel terrific!
It was so nice to read a little bit about you and your family. I’m so interested in the progress at your winery. This area is a great place to live. I know you will love it.
What great articles Cathy, I loved reading about you and your family! Sorry for my absence, computer problems have left me so crazed that I retreat to the kitchen to find solace in Klondike bars, lots and lots of Klondike bars.
What beautiful writings! I feel like I got to know you so much better!
I wish you all the best!
hi Cathy, i haven’t been here visiting you so often enough that i missed the news that you’re already relocating to OR. read the news, seems like you’re off to a good start with your vineyard. i hope someday i’ll go to mcminville and see your vineyard, and good luck!
Those were two very good articles! Thank you for sharing with your readers. I’ve got to go try that Butterscotch Apple Cake for I need all the power I can get.
Wow, you made the newspaper! And I must say the articles were written nicely.
Good luck in your endeavors!
I used to live in Orange County too, probably the same time you did. I got my masters in clinical psychology at Pepperdine in Newport Beach. It was great to read in five seconds years of your life and your dream…I know you will do well.
Because this post is so interesting, I am going to read more
