Today: Wine about it.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This weekend I took a little road trip to Little Compton, Rhode Island with my family to Sakonnet Vineyards to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Why whine about growing older more experienced, when you can wine about it? While the rest of the gang…

Today: An (early) Irish blessing.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]While it’s not quite St. Patrick’s Day, it’s never too early (or too late) to be blessed. These lovely photos were taken by my brother. A very happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and yours. Also On Tap for Today: Parade details 🙂…
