Show and Tell Friday!

My friend Kim and I at the winery. This picture is deceiving, we really weren't that close to each other!


I have nothing to share for Show and Tell Friday because I've been out enjoying summer too much! The weather here has been very mild..sorry to those of you that have been dealing with those extreme high temps! I feel for you! I hate the heat and it's even worse when it goes on and on for days with no break in sight!

  There are so many fun things to do around here in the summer and one of my favorite things is going to a local winery on Friday nights.  They have picnic tables out near the vineyard and you bring a picnic dinner and buy bottles of wine there. They also have a live band and a dance floor (a slab of asphalt actually)! Some of the most fun evenings I've ever had have been spent there with my friends!  Good food, good wine, good music and good company...that is living a good life in my book!

I hope you are all out enjoying your summer too!  I saw a great bumper sticker the other day. It said:
"The meaning of life is to live it" 
 I couldn't agree more! Get out there and live life to the fullest!

    You're blog is beautiful! Very inspiring. Makes me want to change things, but I don't think my hubby would appreciate me changing paint that's only three years old :).
