Merroir

 I had the pleasure of spending Sunday afternoon sitting on the porch at Merroir with the one and only

 Chesapeake Bay Woman!

There may have been wine. 

This driftwood bears an uncanny resemblance to our hair after venturing outside to take photos on a VERY windy afternoon!



"No Wake" = Thanks, Daylight Saving Time.  I dread you every year.

On this particular visit, I opted for
the caesar salad and crabcake with remoulade 
instead of oysters.

Annnnnndddd, there's the wine...

 CBW,

You always find a way to make

me pee myself laughing 

even the worst of days

worthwhile :)

Friday Cheers

My nose itched, and I knew I should drink wine or kiss a fool.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with my BFF Chesapeake Bay Woman. 

I'm looking forward to more 

smack girl talk with her tomorrow. 

A good friend is better than a bottle of wine. 

If you have both, you are truly blessed! 

Friends

As soon as Noe Noe Girl posts photos to Facebook, I will try to update this post with a visual. Until then, you will just have to take my word for it....I have the best (and cutest) friends EVER!!

Last night, Noe Noe, Chesapeake Bay Woman, and a host of other characters stopped by for a bit of socializing before we headed out to hear a local band. The words live, laugh, love spring to mind when I try to think of ways to describe this group. We are all living our lives one day at a time, and trying not to take ourselves too seriously. We all crave the craziness that ensues when old friends gather, and wine is consumed;) And, I love them all as if they were my family. In many ways, they ARE family! (Names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

Today I am most thankful for good friends, good music, good food and good times. Life. Is. Good:)
