Its funny, red wines never really bother me but sometimes whites, esp chardonnays, will give me a headache-even expensive ones, lol!


My dh and I signed up for a wine club where we get 2 wines a month delivered to us. They arent expensive or anything, but its fun and it makes us step out of our rut and try different stuff.

I miss several important Scouts pack meetings per year because they conflict with my monthly church ladies' group.

There's a well known anchorwoman in Boston who told a very funny story once about how her daughter begged and pleaded for her to go to a girlscouts meeting with her so she moved heaven and earth and raced cross Boston to get there and was so proud of herself and the troop leader said "it's great to see you Mrs. .... but perhaps you might have thought to bring your daughter too"

 

Yes. We. Did.
