Mark Buehrle got to get his picture taken with Bambi and me this weekend. "Who's Mark Buehrle?" you ask. Well, you are obviously not a die-hard Chicago White Sox fan. Mr. Buehrle is a pitcher for the White Sox and he recently threw a perfect game. Anyway, that's not why he got his picture taken with us.Mr. Buehrle is a supporter of Hope Animal Rescues in Alton, IL. He was at a fundraiser this past weekend for Hope. It was a wine and beer tasting event (surprised to hear Bambi was at a wine-tasting event?). For a donation (100% of which went to Hope Rescues), one could get a picture with Mark Buehrle, have him sign it, and/or have him sign a bottle of wine. So we did all three.
Wish you'd been there? Or do you wish there was a winey way you could support Hope? Well, you can order your very own bottle of Mark Buehrle's wine. It won't be signed, but the proceeds go to Hope Rescues.
There's a link on Hope's website.And I like to mention that the event was at the Grafton Winery. Mike and Lori, the owners of the winery, donated the space for the event and also donated 10% of wine sales during the event to Hope Rescues. It's a really cool place. If you are in the St. Louis area, you should check it out.

too cool.
I know that you are both dreaming that it was me in the picture, but he will have to do! hahahaha!
He is quite a lucky guy... not many of them get to be sandwhiched in between the two of us :)
i have to admit that tho' i lived on the south side of chicago (hyde park), i'm afraid i'm a cubs fan. when i'm a fan at all of baseball (which i just accidentally typed basement, so you see now it is...)
but anyhoo, i think mr. buerele (sp?) was very fortunate indeed to get to be photographed with you two lovely ladies!
