Hey Y'all :)

Hey Y'all I had a GREAT time over the weekend! You know my sisters and my cousin are my very best friends so the weekend spent with them was just what I needed.
I only have a few photos to share, Beth and Leigh have the rest, so hopefully I can share a few more when I get theirs. I was having too much fun to think of using my camera much.
So the weekend started on Friday with a hurricane!...lol not really but the wind and rain were so bad it may as well have been one! So we left Chesapeake, Va and headed for Plymouth, North Carolina.
Leigh greeted us with a gift we each got a wine glass she picked especially for us :)
                                                Here is mine....PERFECT!
Then we opened a bottle of Duplin's Brice's Creek it's a sweet table wine.
All their wines are made form the yummiest grapes.
Their flavor reminds me of eating grapes off the vine in my parents back yard! They had a concord 
and  a Scuppernog vine and we would sit in the vine arbor and gorge ourselves on grapes...
so yummy and so much fun.
.....and the evening began.
Beth 
Green Wine? YEP
Have you ever had a Winearita?
YUMMY! 
Duplin sells the sets they call them Sweetzers the one we had that night is the Margarita mix blended with their Carlos wine...IT IS SO GOOD! We drank the entire contents of the blender!
HMMMM I think I need another!

This is us after lunch at the winery Bistro all the food was so good!
I had a Muscadine Orange Poppy seed salad dressing that is the best dressing I have had in forever, they sell it there, I wish I had bought a bottle...next trip :)

This is Beth after the scavenger hunt and dinner on the river front.
She HATES to have her photo taken and was telling me no as I snapped this one...lol
LOVE YA!

We were at the Federal Building on the river front in Wilmington, NC
There is a beautiful fountain there.
This is on the Cape Fear River. BEAUTIFUL!
It is a great downtown area, if you get a chance to visit there you will love it!

    So fun, Jenny. I'd never tried a Winearita before, but my favorite drink is a Margarita, so I'm sure I would love it. Looks like you guys had a blast. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics.

    MUAH!

    Oh my gosh Ethel, it looks like you had so much fun. I'm so happy for you. And oh my, love the wineglass! I want to thank you for your very sweet comment on my blog, you are such a good friend.

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners.

They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
