Winery

It was a fun day in the GA mountains.  The winery was packed, but manageable as many people were winery hopping for the day.  We got a great table and enjoyed the afternoon.  Weather was amazing.  Blue skies, low humidity, cool temps.

The winery did a massive renovation and quadrupled their outdoor space.  A big indoor expansion is almost finished too -- that includes 8 more bathrooms.  The little winery only has 2 individual bathrooms.  We were at the back of a very long line and the owner took us over to the bathroom in the actually wine making area.  After hearing our story (DIL bday and missed bridal shower), she let us join the end of a tour to see the private cellars.  That was an unexpected treat.  Also, the bartender gave her a chocolate wine treat as a birthday gift.  

Early to grab a table.

Busted eating the candied bacon.

Red wine pour into the chocolate cup.

It's a nice combination.

Group selfie.  Love this bunch.

Today is another fun day.  Heading over for a little bit to see the kids' house and the grand-dogs.  Hubby will stay to watch football and head to the airport (it's an hour closer from their house) and I'll head home for bookclub.

I need to make more of an effort with bookclub.  No effort = no new friendships with this group.  They are interesting women and I'd like to continue a connection.  Mid-afternoon on Sundays is not ideal for me though, but it's only once a month.  They also switched to zoom format and that should work better.  I couldn't use the other on my computer -- as much as I downloaded, etc.  It's hard to do a bookclub on a phone (for me and my eyes).  This month is a book I read 6 months ago.  I decided not to reread it so I probably won't have a lot to say or remember lol.

Speaking of books, my girlfriend mailed me a box of books for my LFL and I haven't read any of them.  The stack GROWS.  I need to get reading.  I finished The Mother-In-Law and it was good.  Actually would make an interesting bookclub discussion -- lots of layers.  Next on my list is a serial killer book (name on my nightstand so stay tuned).  I haven't read on of those in a long time.  Recommended and perfectly creepy for Halloween week.  Hope I don't get the nighttime spooks reading it home alone.

That's all from here.  Can't say my hormones are doing well yet and yesterday's eating (cake and more cake) probably didn't help.  Hanging on for some smoother waters.  Have a good Sunday.  Later gators.
