Ramblings

I really have nothing much to say, but I figured what the hey, why not ramble on our blog. Makes sense, right?

At lunch today, I was driving through our large, yet small town. I was behind a car that was driving just under the speed limit when all of a sudden said car decided that it was a good idea to come to a screeching halt in the middle of the road. That made me wonder. What goes through people's brains as they are driving, especially in a speed zone of 55? Come on people! Get your head in the game. How hard is it to drive the speed limit without coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road? Thank goodness, I could get around this person, all the while, blowing my horn at this crazed person. I just don't understand.

Today at this very moment while I sit here typing, our God Daughter is being born into our world. Mom and Dad have been at the hospital since 1 A.M. T-man is super excited (as is all the family) that he will have a God Sister by the time I pick him up today from the summer program that he is very much enjoying.

UGH! Why does it have to be so freakin' hot outside? I know that it is summer, but seriously, who decided that the temperature should jump from a nice pleasant 90 degrees one day to a miserable 104 degrees the very next day? My yard and AC are paying dearly for this lovely Texas heat that we are having right now. I wish that I could get paid to just sit in the pool so that I don't have to be hot going from the truck to the office, back to the truck to the house.

See, I warned you in the beginning that I have nothing to say. Oh, well! That is just how I role. Here's a picture to enjoy for the day. Happy Thursday!

Wordless Wednesday

Today, I thought that I would do something a little different and start a post once a week called Wordless Wednesday. I have a few friends that already do this, and think that it is a great idea. Enjoy!

Festival and Fun

Yesterday, the City of Bryan held their annual Texas Reds festival in downtown. This was the third year for the festival to take place. We went the very first year, but only long enough to catch the Bellamy Brothers perform. Great show! This year, I wanted to get there early to taste the wine. Yes, you read that correct. The beer lover decided it was time to try wine. I have tried wine in the past and just have not found anything that I liked much less loved. I knew that I didn't want anything dry or semi sweet. After trying a few, and making some very unique faces for my friends, I found a couple worth mentioning.

My first wine that I encountered and thought that I might purchase in the future was made right here in BCS at Messina Hof. This Riesling was good, and my friends were very excited when I told them that I liked it.

We moved along to try more wine. They tried several more, while I was hesitant. We went to the last tent, and I must say, this winery had it together. Their Texas Yellow Rose Sweet White Wine was EXACTLY what I was looking for in a wine. It was so good, I purchased a bottle right then and there.

What a great time the day was, and the evening was good, too. The entertainment for the evening was Earl Thomas Conley, followed by Robert Earl Keen. Later in the evening, the guys met us at the Festival, and I think they had fun, too.
Wine, Beer, Music and friends........need I say more!
