​Peter Anderson & Wynn Mackey

For those of you who may not know of it, Peter passed away on Sunday afternoon. He had a sudden heart attack but was well and happy to within hours of his passing. He was a rare light in this world and with his love and warmth sought always to contribute to those around him. A man of many accomplishments, Peter served in the army during Vietnam, spent two years in the peace corps, and was by any measure a successful architect. He was wildly over educated, actively creative, and most recently involved in conservation efforts in our adopted country of Costa Rica. With everything else, he still managed to share with me thirty two years of love and adventure. I miss him more than I can say. — with Peter Anderson.

Have a nice organic healthy treat with Michelle this week (front of feria, parking lot side) ...

she is serving vegan creamy pumpkin soup fresh from her organic garden salads and

A reminder too, that getting your ads in by Tuesday 10am really helps us get this Vine out in a timely manner ... we still receive several submissions much later than that ... including today!

Pre-orders are so appreciated ... and help with the flow of everything ... the earlier the better and thanks for all. Remember too that we have International Calling Cards ... way cheaper than ICE long distance.
