2/21/14

I-95 was a parking lot so I had to take the
back roads to work. I’ve heard about Byrne’s,
I’ve seen Byrne’s, I’ve never been to Byrne’s.

Anyone want to go?? I heard they have great crab legs!

there was a BIRD MURDER out back
on our driveway. I think someone must have
scared away the hawk bc they left lots of
goodies behind.

Love these snow women
(though I’d select better beer!)

Cafe Michelangelo Tasting today

http://www.cafemichelangelo.com/

We tasted this Ripasso & He bought it —
which is great ..in most ways.
I can sell it to him now but after APRIL he
has to get it from another vendor.
A few people suggested I shouldn’t show
it to him but I didn’t listen.
This is a GREAT wine & he needs it on his list.
I’ll find something else for him to buy from me.
