How wonderful that you found a local vintner.<br /><br />Alex- We were picking up the bonus room after having a group over. He's GREAT at picking up.

This is a MARVELOUS post!...Oh my goodness, Michele. This is a MARVELOUS post! I am so glad I didn't miss it! (Some days life intrudes on my reading/writing blogs!)<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder of grapes! I must admit, I had moved into the idea of chocolates--but now, thanks to you, I will think decadent with every grape I put in my mouth! Recently I bought a package of organic dates. They were so delicious I wondered why I'd ever thought I had to put them in a candy or cake base.<br /><br />I indulge with my daily glass of wine. My favorite is a Voignier, made by a Becker, a nearby Texas winery, Becker. Leaves a hint of peaches on my tongue.<br /><br />Sorry about the job. That's a bummer when that happens. You end feeling set up.<br /><br />But your story with your children was hilarious. And what a neat act by your husband.<br /><br />Go enjoy a grape for me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sylviadickeysmithbooks.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Sylvia Dickey Smith</a>Sylvia Dickey Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665990701980727149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-56585221745801088692010-09-29T10:26:25.029-04:002010-09-29T10:26:25.029-04:00Margot- But very hard to find time and will to do ...Margot- But very hard to find time and will to do those things. I was reading just a few moments ago how women feel so much GUILT at taking time for themselves. It's not just mothers (though this is a big factor), but wome in general as we are the caregivers of society.<br /><br />Will- Awesome idea! I'll write a whole book for it!<br /><br />Brenda- A bowl just for grapes--what a fantastic idea! Thanks for the well-wishes.JournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-77044246477040259042010-09-29T09:38:46.618-04:002010-09-29T09:38:46.618-04:00Aww, what a sweet husband.

There's no sticky fingers afterward. And they are delicious. Sometimes we just need to be alone to recharge. I hope things are going a lot better for you. :DBrenda Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263237745979525170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-29701265988920245482010-09-29T08:48:52.418-04:002010-09-29T08:48:52.418-04:00Yikes!

I'm glad that you found a way to soothe yourself and give yourself some pampering. And thanks for that really interesting information about grapes. Lots there I didn't really think about before. I think it's so important to find ways to be kind to yourself when things are going wrong...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
