2020 was a huge year for me. My spouse and I officially moved from Texas to Florida. We became empty nesters when our son went off to college in Washington state. Like many of you we did the covid graduation. We helped move Brian’s parents into assisted living while his mom recovered from a stroke …
I’m not sure if I have mentioned this before, but the entire month of December is Eggnog Month, and I have been partaking. My amazing former neighbors sent us a bottle of boozy holiday nog from Stinson Distilling in Driftwood Texas, and it goes really well with early afternoon coffee. My hip is out of …
It’s odorless, it’s colorless, you can develop somewhat of a tolerance to it. No I’m not talking about iocane powder, I’m talking about vodka. Specifically, I’m talking about the age old tradition, allegedly born in the US, of sneaking vodka into OJ to catch a buzz on the DL. From what google and wikipedia could …
Today is an exciting day if you are a wine lover. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, every third Thursday in November is Beaujolais Nouveau Day. This day marked the end of the harvest season, and celebrated the efforts of wine makers introducing their newly created wine to markets all over Europe, and now all over …
Good afternoon! Happy National Apple Cider Day! Or as I prefer to think of it, National Rum In Your Cider Day. A couple of days ago I was thinking about ways to create more consistent and fun mid week content. The thought occurred to me that Facebook reminds us of the big holidays, margarita day, …
Happy Monday, friends and drunkies alike! Some good news before I jump in. My new laptop arrives on Thursday, so I will not be cobbling this together from my phone and an Asus from 2012 for much longer. Impressed by my technological wherewithal? I know you are! Hopefully this new laptop will mean better photos, …
Hello my completely fabulous drunkies! I feel like I missed a huge opportunity to spend 2020 drunk quarantined with all of you, and I am sorry for that. Back in 2019, before the world ended, I questioned if I was setting a poor example to the world writing so much about drinking. I even tried to segue …
Several weeks ago we had a welcome home party for my great friend and her husband, who came back to us from the wilderness of Delaware. It was a super fun party, sandwiched in between a very busy weekend. (Story of my life, I know!) Because we had plans for Sunday, it was important that …
I have to take a minute before I start, to say thank you to Stouthaus Coffee for being cool with the 20 people taking up all their table space with our laptops. I usually write from home, planes, hotels, and once the bathroom (I have IBD, sometimes I spend a lot of time in there!) Today …
A couple weekends ago the weather was spring time rain multiplied by 10, because it’s Texas and our weather is bigger than your weather. Not wanting to skip on fun and friends we organized a board game day at Skull Mechanix. If you have not gone there yet, you are really missing out. They brew …
