T is for a Saturday Escape

Hello friends.

Happy T-day to those who celebrate it!  

My ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's blog is a lovely trip to the Ozan Winery and Vineyard which is about 40 miles from our house in Central Alabama. 

We each had a flight to see which bottle to order.  Alex liked the blueberry and I liked the Apple, so we couldn't split a bottle.  We ended up each having a glass of our favorite.  The flight glasses look bigger here than they actually were, and we did not drink the ones we didn't like (I only liked the apple). 

The vineyard was bare of leaves already and most everyone was sitting inside, but we wanted to be outside and pretend we were in another world. LOL.
We split a snack box of cheese, meat, fruit, and crackers.
It was really good and we stayed about an hour.  Then we returned to the real world....

Hugz and thanks for visiting!

Nancy

    This looks like a very nice winnery and a great spot to get away. Both flavors sound good but I think I would have gone with the apple too. Have a great day today. Nicole/DVArtist https://beadwright.blogspot.com/

    Good for you to have chosen to be outside, I would have done that as well. It looks very inviting. The snack box looks delicious. I can understand that you had a good time there.

    That looks like a wonderful place to sit and relax, as well as enjoy the wine and that yummy looking snack box. I wonder if the apple wine wasn't as sweet as the blueberry might be? I am guessing of course as I have never been to Alabama-smile. I hope it was a lovely T day. hugs-Erika

    It looks like you had a wonderful day. Your post brought back some lovely memories for me. Hubby and I had the good fortune to be able to spend time in Napa Valley, California. (back in 2007), I lost count how many vineyards that we visited. Each one had something special to offer. like....the beautiful gardens, fountains, neat souvenir shops, etc.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
