CLOSED

Yayr .... (stealing a bit of South Carolina on that one)

I closed on the "new place" (going to hold a naming contest me thinks on naming the "new place")

Prior to closing - had a quick salad and Moose Drool lunch at Eichardt's ... for those that haven't had Moose Drool - go find it ... it's a beer worthy of the name.  Truly. 

Here was the "place holder" for the beer / wine list:  on each side there was (a)

And side (b) - which had clearly seen those patrons scraping away at these prophetic words ... or maybe it's my photography skills after said Moose Drool... nope - thinking ... let's play Wheel of Fortune kids. YOU CAN DO IT!!

Key point being - if you are about to seemingly sign your life away on another property - drink.  But just enough so that you can sign your full name (E S French doesn't cut it) on 80-gazillion documents.

On the flip side - I am now at the Coldwater Creek winery ... trying a lovely Groth Sav Blanc (pass go, collect $200 and spend a portion of it on this)  ... and there is this group of 3 women discussing their husbands.... I'm trying to put it in perspective / conceive of this conversation as gender neutral.. but I really cannot.  And it's taking everything in me and my support girdle (wait - did I just write that??) not to laugh out loud or fall out of my chair stool because I'm leaning too far back as to not miss a word. 

Oh- and it's raining .. but it looks like it wants to stop.  I vote yes.  Let's get with it Mother Nature ... or as Neil Diamond sang "turn on your heart light....."   Bring back the heat hooker!  (okay - maybe .. possibly ..that Moose Drool was "stronger" than I thought. 

Very productive day as I still managed to sign my full name, put myself back into poverty and unload a Tahoe full of Wal-Mart goodies include toilet paper and other essentials... this is why it is now wine time and I'm "spent..."  literally and physically... snicker!!)

Tomorrow is Happy Hump Day gentle readers ... get at it !!
