I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

But there was road construction at the very exit I needed. It took 15 minutes to move around it.

Gail and I grabbed a bite at Dairy Queen. The Blizzards were excellent. The flavor of the month has both Reese’s cups and Oreos. Yum.

We finally got to the winery and set up shortly after the start. It was slow in the beginning, but we eventually sold all 17 copies they had.

The party featured arroz con pollo made in a huge paella pan. It was delicious.

The winery asked me back next week. So, I guess I am headed back.

On the way back, we stopped for gelato and sorbetto. I got a mix of kiwi and strawberry. Gail got hazelnut. We were both happy.

I saw Return to Witch Mountain at the Crown Theatre in downtown Crown Point, Indiana. One of the first movies I saw unaccompanied by grownups.

Wow, a blue/green Jay hybrid has been photographed in San Antonio



I don't completely understand the significance, but it seems like a very cool thing.  Either way, it's a great picture!

I had such a hard time posting that I forgot to add the link explaining how this happened, plus this is the only one that has been spotted.

That is very interesting, Jane.  Thanks for the link. :)

David Nihill is a very funny comedian from Ireland.  This is a funny, but uplifting story:

Fruit for though. Never judge a book by its cover
