Friday Night

We went to a German beer tasting last night at our club. I don’t like beer, so I drank my cheap house white wine and was perfectly happy. I did enjoy looking at the beer labels and bottle shapes. I especially liked the name of this beer and I saved a bottle to show my…

Christmas Inspiration

My mother and I always go shopping on “Black Friday”, but not where many others shop. Our first stop is always Buffalo Springs Herb Farm in Raphine, VA.
