mmmmmm Wine!
Sorry I’ve been MIA for a few days. We’ve had a lot going on around here, and I’ve not had much time to get here and say howdy!
Our company co-sponsored a wine tasting event last night. It was called “a night in Venice” and it was FABULOUS! It was an amazing 5 course meal (with yummies like prosciutto wrapped prawns, seafood stuffed crepes… I gained 20 pounds last night I’m certain!) with 5 amazing wines… it was just an amazing night overall.
Here’s a few snapshots of the evening!
This is the limo driver, learning the very valuable lesson that one should not wash the limousine at below zero temperatures, RIGHT before you pick up your clients. It tends to freeze the doors shut! LOL We were able to get one door open, and that is all that matters 
And the face only a mother could love……
Now, for all of you wondering “what on earth are they doing, taking a kid to a wine tasting?????” don’t fret. It just so happens that Em’s best friends parents were invited along with us, so the sitter was waiting to watch both girls at their house. We are nuts… but we aren’t CRAZY! 
These are our awesome neighbors Rod and Dawn… we lurve them lots!
And here’s Ron and Rita (the parents of Em’s best friend Grace :))
Hi honey! look at him waaaaayyyyy down there!
And here they are… with the vino induced happiness flowing!
And the drive home…. Did I mention Emma really likes limos? And the pathetic thing, the kid has ridden in them I think a total of 6 times now. I didn’t take my first limo ride until I was in my 20s. Kids these days!
The other thing I noticed last night. We you buy a new bad boy camera… nobody wants to touch it to take pictures for you. Which means I have ZERO pictures of me last night… and I looked purty! I even had on makeup. Oh well… I will survive. No permanent damage done!
