1. It's National Wine
Day (May 25)...do you like wine? Red or white? Dry or sweet? Do you have a
favorite? Have you ever been to California wine country? Or any other wine
region? What's a dish you make that calls for wine?
We are not wine
people. We’ve tried to be wine people but we just aren’t. Mark prefers a darker
craft beer or bourbon and I’m mostly a vodka girl who just happens to love a
good margarita. I will drink a cold glass of Reisling or if we are at a wedding
reception and ALL they have is wine, I can drink a glass of white. I don’t like
red at all. We’ve never been to California wine country. Two guys from my small
town (and school) in Alabama, have a winery in Georgia. Ray and Rodney are best
friends and they even have a blended wine called Best Friends. Check them out
here:

What's something you've whined about lately? I’ve probably whined about
other drivers 😊. I’ve also whined
about several other things . . .I’m pretty sure.
3.
Last time you were 'wined and dined'? Tell us about it. It has been a
while since I was truly “wined and dined.” About 20 years ago, Mark had an auto
dealers meeting in Las Vegas. We went to one of Emeril’s restaurants and there
was a lot of wine and a lot of food and even a lot of desserts. They weren’t “wining
and dining” me but I got to enjoy. Mark was wined and dined a few years ago and
I only got to hear about the experience. Manolo Sanchez, former Chairman,
President, and CEO of BBVA was in town and Mark and his boss (the owner of the company) were invited to a
dinner, hosted by Manolo, at a local country club. The dinner consisted of multiple courses
and there was at least one new wine per course. Mark did enjoy the wine and food that
night.

Three cheers for all the graduates! Hip! Hip! Hooray!

This will be the last Hodgepodge in the month of May. Somehow next Wednesday
the calendar rolls into June. Before we go though, sum up your May in twelve
words or less. May has been filled with friends, family, food, work, and
planning for our trip! Well . . .14 words will do, right?
6.
Insert your own random thought here. As an adult (since marriage), I have
never been on a girl’s beach trip. For some ridiculous reason, that has been
bugging me lately! I have recently talked with two of my friends about going away
for a weekend (or weekdays). We’ve been to the beach with lots of family and we’ve
been to the beach with other couples but I’ve never experienced a girl’s beach
weekend!
