French Roast managed to help get me going this morning......I just needed that dark, rich coffee to flow through my blood stream!
About 11am........Jay and Anne-marie arrived, having spent the night in Cape G. It was certainly great to see them again....the last time we had been together was when they left the reception dance the night of their wedding in Mobile, March 6...perhaps by that time it was the 7th.
Sooooo, we had lots of talking to do.....and before long, after a quick trip to the wonderful Walmart grocery section, we decided to go out to the winery here in F'town......Vance Vineyards. We did a tasting.....about 7 wines if I remember correctly.....and then we purchased a bottle and went out on the patio. We were drinking a very crisp and cool Chardonel.....and it was just the right wine to drink.....ALL afternoon(more than a bottle or two...haha!!!).
We enjoyed a few minutes with the Chef of the restaurant at the winery as he stopped by our table out on the deck......Trent Wiggins.....and it was great to see him again. He had been a non-music student of mine in a Gen. Music class which I taught....and we had some laughs about his non-ability to play the piano....haha. I'll keep that one secret.......
Returning to the sticknbrick, I grilled some burgers, red and yellow peppers, asparagus, chicken brats, and some fresh green beans. The 1st Lady put together a tossed salad....and before dinner was served...inside. Toooooo damn hot to enjoy the patio since the sun cannot be blocked due to the inland hurricane last year when all the trees in the area went down with the storm......in OUR yard and on OUR fence!!
This evening....we watched a movie...and then just a few minutes ago, we watched the video that the photographers made of the wedding guests and their advice and best wishes the day before the wedding. Great fun....and a great video!!
Tomorrow.....who the hell knows???? But, no matter.....
LIFE IS JUST REALLY INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
