Fainting Goat Winery

My aunt is in town ahead of our girls' trip.  Today, my two aunts and I are heading north to a winery.

Earth Day outside enjoying the earth.

Fainting Goat Winery-- yep, they have goats and wine.  Fun combination.  I'm especially happy because it's only 45 minutes from me.  Living up north in the "country" has few distance advantages so far.  We're trying to explore this area more and this is perfect.  I'll try to remember to take pictures!!  I bet it's pretty this time of year.

This weekend was fantastic.  We visited with our son's in-laws and it was a super visit.  Some past visits have left us feeling second-fiddle.  Not this weekend though.  Maybe we have it worked out.  After brunch we walked a huge indoor farmer's market (it's always crowded - even on Easter) and then took dogs for a hike.  Our old man didn't come -- he's having trouble even walking.  My heart hurts for him.  But, the hike was pretty -- a little over 3 miles on moderate terrain and the other dogs loved it.  Even our 6 lb granddoggie was thrilled (it was her first hike).  It made me sad that the last time we hiked there, Parker was with us and loving it all -- we love you, old man.

On a sidenote -- I looked crappy in the pictures from this weekend (hubby took some).  I can "see" my extra eating and drinking (some is the angle, but most isn't the angle).  Dang it.  I like denial better.  May 1, folks.  It's happening.



Last night I was pooped.  Thought maybe I was getting sick (nope, just tired).  Bed early, no GoT yet and up early to get ready for the winery day.  Aunt's are "touring" our house and I'm packing picnic food for the day (as is my local aunt).  I think I'm driving so only one glass of wine for me.  I don't like to day drink anyway.

Offer is promised for today on the other house.  Not holding my breath, but who knows.

As much as today is going to be fun, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.  I know - stay PRESENT, but tomorrow is a NOTHING day.  I need one of those.  Nothing but whatever I want to do.  I'll still "work" on house things, but no timeline or to-do list.  Nothing means no hair drying or makeup.  Nothing means reading and TV and sofa surfing (even though we have no sofa yet).  I'm still tired and I need a recovery day.  I have an especially heavy monthly friend and I think it's zapping my energy.  I'll also get caught up on RH coaching -- the new one is tomorrow afternoon.

Happy Monday.  New week.  Time is flying.

Later gators.
