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

    The trees here still have green, but crumbly leaves.
    Being in another world sounds just great!

    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.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
