Wine and Chocolate Weekend

Friday night Anna Banana II, OK Cap, Jilly Moose, and I went to a fish fry and had huckleberry cosmos before praying the rosary. Saturday was a busy day for me. Hardingfele and I went to hot sweaty yoga (which is a literal, not figurative, description – it is not one bit sexy), then Tiffy came up and we went to an outdoor party thrown by the Daughter of Denii. Brr! Good thing there was a bonfire! The highlight of the day was in the evening when Tiffy, Jilly Moose, OK Cap, and I went to the Wine and Chocolate Tasting Fundraiser at our local indoor gardens. A large wisteria was blooming in the atrium, making the place smell heavenly, and in the conservatory a band played calypso versions of 80’s hits. This year they had not just wines from local wineries to sample, but also some products from local distilleries. The vodka with lime juice was a favorite, and there were several chocolate liqueurs. Lots of good chocolates too, including a local bakery that brought brownie samples. What a divine (as Jilly Moose would say) way to spend a winter evening! Then we went to OK Cap’s house to sober up and play Mad Libs, which is just as funny now that we are adults as it was when we were kids. Sunday after brunch, Rich, Tiffy, and I went to the zoo to enjoy the beautiful weather. It was also Luxuli's husband's birthday, so happy birthday to him. (I had to go to band practice and missed out on angel food cake.) So it was a great weekend, but much too short.
