By the way, the glasses have a shape that makes them suitable for almost any type of wine and makes sniffing the aroma a very special experience. So nice!

Another fun gift I got was a bookmark that is an abstract painting, done by my friend JoAnn Laboy. It is fun because it has little magnets that hold it in place. She also gave me a card that is a beautiful abstract painting, but the bookmark is more fun. My little painting doesn't do it justice. JoAnn gave it to me at the brunch hosted by Tara Hamilton--I have written about that before.

TY JEFF
My brother Jeff gave me an Amazon gift card---I can always find a use for that!
We had a fun visit when he was here from Southern California. We didn't do a lot, but did see the movie "Boys in the Boat" with Louisa, Peter, Griffin and Sophia. Another fun thing was going to the Guinness Brewery in Baltimore. What a sight that was and fun for an Irish-phile like Jeff. There were many more good meals and times to catch up.
I look forward to his visit each year.

It's hard to tell from my little painting what the gift was. But it was an excellent gift--several bottles of wine from Oregon!!!! The painting is an interpretation of the label and it is special because it shows that Honeywood Winery produces wine from all kinds of fruits..not just grapes, and also from honey. The wines I got were Marionberry Wine, Loganberry Wine and Mead. Nice sweet treats!!!!
Erik and Jen know that still feel connected to my Oregon friends and family. Six bottles of wine arrived in a secure package.That was a pleasant surprise.
