French wine, the aftermath and Chili

- One of my dinner party guests from several days ago brought this beautiful bottle of wine.  So, Wednesday, being National Wine Day, and the "jolliest Wednesday of the year," according to USA Today, I was inspired to have some.  It had been a day.  As I have said before, there is a day for everything and I think this one might have been my favorite so far.

- The dinner, from two Saturday nights ago, was my dinner group from church friends.  I refused help cleaning up - I like to put some music on and do it methodically.  I was inspired to snap this photo of the aftermath though.  It was nice having friends around my usually quiet table.

- Friend Janice brought her puppy to our walk last Saturday - his first walk on a leash in the park.  He loved everyone and everyone loved him.  Here, he had spotted a rabbit - I loved the bemused look he was giving it.

Have a lovely weekend, my friends!

Hi Lynn - so pleased you had such a happy time ... and yes a glass of wine is needed at times. The puppy looks a delight - love his colour ... I bet he'll be turning heads for a while yet ... what fun ...

Cheers and have a blessed Memorial weekend - Hilary

Shouldn't EVERY day be National Wine Day? Or at least once a week!

How I love hearing and seeing that you had such a lovely time. Wine o'clock has been a boon here more often than I care to admit...

My kids brought me some Barefoot Sweet Red wine and I have fallen in love with it. I do not like for people to help me clean up the kitchen and I do not like to help clean up their kitchens. That is a pretty dog and has a majestic tail.

What a beautiful-looking dog...so happy with his lot by the looks of him! :)

I rarely entertain these days but when I do and when I did, I preferred to do the cleaning up afterwards myself...after my guests had left.

The wine looks inviting. :)

There's a "jolliest Wednesday of the year"? Shouldn't it be the one just before Christmas?

Puppies + bunnies + good weather = THE BEST

Sweet puppy! Although he may be thinking the rabbit looks like lunch.
