Meadowlands Country Club

I was working a member wine tasting at Meadowlands.

My “elevator pitch” for each wine.

Coworker FAITH taught me that trick.

tasting went well, though I need to find a way
to inspire people to branch out of their
wine habits. All the people want is Cabernet or
Pinot Grigio when there is so much more out there!

A stop at friend Mary’s house after the tasting.

Thanks for dinner Mary!

5/2/15 Beach Volleyball Seaside Heights, Kentucky Derby Party, doggies!

5/2/15

Today was the FIRST
beach volleyball tournament of the year!!

Me & partner JoAnna ready to play!

Waiting to play

It was a great beach day. We played 9 games.
Lost the first & last game.
Took 3rd place.

After volleyball Michael & I attended a Kentucky Derby Party

friends Michael & Judith have been hosting
the party for a few years now.

Michael & Judith

Me & the hosts!

when I got home form the party I needed to
take the dogs for their mile walk.
I was tired & didn’t feel like walking them,
but I did.

They were both anxious to get home
& get to bed too!

The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it
