Bright and colorful

Thanks, Jude, for inviting us to share color and brightness in a month often lacking in both. That’s not true in the American Southwest where the plants are relaxing, enjoying the lack of high heat, I think, but no matter where we are, we can always use color so let’s have at it!

I’ll start with something whimsical, the “glass” that my drink came in while in San Diego months ago. The drink was good and the food absolutely delicious. Best of all, I didn’t have to pay. 🙂

On a more somber note, today is Pearl Harbor Day in the US as well as my mom’s 92nd birthday. I imagine that day wasn’t her best birthday, especially as her family lived in California.

Cheers to the weekend

Raise your glass to the weekend, a glass of Cooper’s Hawk sangria filled with slices of fresh peaches and strawberries.   Ahhhhh!
Are you in Spain?  Provence?  Does it matter?  It’s almost the weekend and you’re with the person you love.  Enjoy!
And may you have a blessed weekend.
