July 3rd 2011
RAIN changed our plans.
We were scheduled to embark on a 48 mile bike ride – but
Mother Nature had other plans for us.
Instead – we caught up on “stuff” and relaxed a little…..

|
sister Pat & I went to Penzey’s spice store & stocked
up on some supplies we were out of or running low on.
We both LOVE to cook & cannot have enough fresh spices.

We stopped at the pet store across the street
& met this cute doggie!!!

I NEEDED these Vizsla note cards….
well, you know I DO write A LOT of letters…..

opened this bottle of wine to pre-game for tonight’s BBQ
at neighbor Canally’s house
“Just returned from Spain and this was one of my TOP picks…
The 08 received 90 pts from the WS…..
but the 09 just blew me away! Tons of pear…. with nicely integrated oak… crisp acidity..
and beautifully balanced… Tastes like it should cost twice the price!”
