Exchanging and Renewing Vows at Vista Ranch and Cellars

Once our friends, Katie and Colton exchanged their marital vows, they invited the rest of us to exchange additional vows with them and to renew our existing vows among ourselves. It was an inspired, inclusive, poetic, musical, and delicious celebration of love there at the Vista Ranch and Cellars in Merced, CA.

Between the Arts Center and Rancho San Miguel 

Another car in Merced caught my eye. So, with the help of Procreate I present, to some extent, “the car between the Arts Center and Rancho San Miguel.” If you know your cars, send me the make and year, along with your contact information, and I’ll knock 50% off on a portfoliolongo bumper sticker also available here via PayPal.
