Too Tired to Post on Scattered Saturday!

Well, I broke my streak of days in a row posting by neglecting to post anything yesterday.  In my defense, I have no defense.  These things happen, and we must make the best of them.  I took a nice long walk yesterday, ending up at the End Zone pub in Herkimer, NY, one of my favorite watering holes.  I confess to enjoying a daytime libation on a Saturday.  Anyways, I wasn’t driving.  I did not take any pictures, but perhaps I have one in my Media Library.

Here’s one!

This, unfortunately, was not the bartender yesterday.  It is Tino, son of the owner and somebody I am always happy to see, though, so I felt free to share the picture again.  My friend Kim joined me at the End Zone.  After she enjoyed a glass of Moscato, we went to a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Liquor.  Ooh, I think I took a picture of the pourer on my phone.

She was nice!

Her name was Leigh, and she was pouring all sweet wines, so Kim was happy.  I personally prefer dry wines.  We were especially taken with some carrots she had as decorations. She laughed and said for things she had picked up at the dollar store, they had gotten more attention than the wines.

I must get to the dollar store, although I have far too many decorations in my house as it is.

After the wine tasting, we went to Heelpath Brewing in Frankfort, NY (was it a Freudian typo that I first put “Hellpath”?  My obsession with Halloween and horror!).  It was such a pretty, sunny day, I wanted to sit in a place with lots of windows to look out.

Cheers, Kim!

This is a picture from a different visit, but we sat in the same seats.  We had a very fun afternoon, and I am only sorry I did not write about it yesterday.  But I think you for tuning in today!

 

It’s Almost Christmas!

I am under orders to make a blog post today. Never mind from who; explanations are tiresome. Likewise never mind why I have not posted since Sunday. Here I am. What sort of blog post can I make?

This afternoon I got together with my friend Kim. After taking care of a couple of chores, we decided to make a stop at Heelpath Brewing in Frankfort, NY. We had not been there in a while. We were delighted to have a fun time there today.

We were happy that the first thing we saw, before even going into the place, was a nice dog. Of course we asked to pet her and quickly realized we knew her doggy daddy, one of the proprietors of Raindrops on Roses Bed and Breakfast in Herkimer. We have enjoyed their wine tasting room a few times.

Look how cute she is!

She came up to us for pets a few times. I eventually got a picture of her.

Kim and I enjoyed wine from Rustic Ridge Winery of Burlington Flats: Sweet Little Blond for her, Untamed White for me. We loved the Christmas decorations and had some pleasant conversations with other patrons.

Now I am home and ready to relax.

I hope you are all enjoying this Christmas Eve Eve as well.
