Our First Visitors Are...

Dan and Miranda. We are really looking forward to this Wednesday when Dan and Miranda arrive in town for a short stay here in California. Dan's on spring break and Miranda is celebrating a new position at Ameriprise. We'll pick them up in San Diego Wednesday night and hopefully it will feel like a four-day vacation here in Murrieta. The weather looks sunny as usual, and temperatures will be in the low 80s.

It sounds like it's been a long winter in Minnesota, and I guess Tracy and I have taken our weather for granted a little bit. I've been biking 70 to 80 miles a week with a co-worker for the last three-plus weeks. It's things like that that you take for granted when you're not spending a winter in Minnesota.

After Dan and Miranda visit, our friends John and Katie are here the following weekend. It just happens to be Tracy's birthday on that Friday so we've planned to go to Disneyland. And then Laura and Tim (Tracy's family) visits over Easter. We look forward to seeing all of you!

Final Vebe Visual Logo

Tracy and I brainstormed a few logos and type sets and finally came up with a logo design we like. The double arrows represent the V in Vebe and the V in Visual. In the trendy version, we will use a drop shadow on the arrows to set them off from the blue background.

Oh, and Tracy wants me to mention the significance of Vebe, the name she came up with. It's pretty simple, really, it's the V for the first initial of my last name and the B for the first initial of her last name. V B or Vebe. It's definitely grown on me. We are putting together an entire corporate design or CD manual with our fonts and design. Once we get this deal launched, we want to approach the local wineries with design proposals ... they don't advertise enough, so we think we can fill a niche for them at a fair price.
