I love this post Jeanie, full of colour and happiness. Many years ago I worked for a company called Modus. In previous posts I smiled at Lizzie’s stash of toys, I have the same scenario with Rufus’ toys. Glad you’ve got a new hydrangea.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-35906946556530739792018-05-07T23:19:28.340-04:002018-05-07T23:19:28.340-04:00What a fun party.

Pity your friend Pat is moving so far... But such fun with your new friend Bob joinin the group. Processo is THE drink these days, isn't it?! mmm... You can never go wrong with a nice Valpolicella. It's fun to see the art work on all the labels. We've enjoyed some Villa Antinoir wines too--often a great choice. How cute are your wine socks--haha! But how wonderful is Rick's bread. I always look forward to seeing what bread he makes for your Popper's nights! That cake is tremendous--very fun decorations on it too--and it looks like it was well dipped into!. So much good food and wine... I feel almost tipsy just looking and reading... LOL! I just love how you all go all out for these occasions... with lovely table settings, flowers, food, drink... Your group is just so inspiring--thanks so much for sharing! :) ((HUGS)) Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-15746211275884771382018-04-27T03:52:49.236-04:002018-04-27T03:52:49.236-04:00Cheers!

The combination of good wines, delicious food, and fabulous friendship is "molto bene"--Italian for "very good"!<br /><br />My Community Senior Club potluck has an Italian theme next month and you have given me the idea to use wine corks as decorations for the tables, along with tea lights and some flowers. <br /><br />Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-34366162355371892512018-04-25T22:20:54.272-04:002018-04-25T22:20:54.272-04:00Oh wow Jeanie, what a fun evening you had.

I just don't have the taste for it. Now if there was a tasting group for fans of Dr. Pepper and you could taste it from different regional bottling areas, I just might fit in. LOL!<br /><br />I came across this when I saw the mention of Cat's Piss wine (wanted to see if it might be sold in the US as I love cats and thought it would be a hoot to have):<br /><br />"Believe it or not, cat's pee is an aroma many people believe helps to identify a high-quality Sauvignon Blanc.<br />11 Of The Weirdest Wine Aromas | VinePair<br />https://vinepair.com/wine-blog/11-weirdest-wine-aromas/"<br /><br />Being a fan of junk journaling, I am more interested in the wine labels. Love the blue one with the compass looking thing on it.<br /><br />Although I don't drink wine, I have a fine shelf of wines that have spoken to me over the years. My daughter jokes it's my liquor collection I never use.<br /><br />Carolyn Marnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528976337999476682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-65065222718102142722018-04-25T14:51:33.882-04:002018-04-25T14:51:33.882-04:00Hi Jeanie, I'm not much of a wine drinker but ...Hi Jeanie, I'm not much of a wine drinker but the lasagna and the company would be enough for me.

I was so very social and friend-focused my first 30 years as an adult (a carry over from my heavy high school and college partying days LOL). But, once I turned 50 and moved to New Haven, I lost all that and my life has become much more solitary (well, I have a spouse whom I adore, but that doesn't count. LOL). I love my life - but I do miss the joy and comfort and love and camaraderie of long pleasant evenings and days with cherished friends.<br />...and I'm lusting for some of that lovely crusty bread your hubby offered up! LOL Nothing turns on an Atkins follower like a good CARB!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, as always!Tristan Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372571059339403974noreply@blogger.com
