Monday.....a lot of catching up to do!


Monday I was still catching up.  It seems like it takes almost as long to catch up from vacation as you were gone so I am hoping to beat the odds by being caught up before the end of the week.
Never ending laundry piles
Laundry, laundry everywhere!  Now, the older girls do their own laundry, but I seem to end up folding it a lot of the time because I find it in the dryer when I am trying to do another load.   
School planning and schoolwork
Sammy and I worked on figuring out what she has to finish to finish this school year.  She may be working some into the summer, I am thinking.
After we got all that done.....I got to go to a wine dinner with my mom and her husband.  He is a food and beverage manager at one of our local casinos and often gets to go to these events.  Usually there is one specific winemaker and they are present at the dinner, tell us about their winery, wines, etc.  For this dinner, they just pulled some of the best wines from their cellar and there were some really good choices.
The Menu
Of course, I got too busy eating the food to take pictures of it and I was a little sad about that afterwards.  It was AMAZING!!!  I especially liked the Lobster BLT.  It was really original.  The really fun thing about these dinners is that the food is almost always dishes I wouldn't make at home.  And don't worry, they don't give you a full glass of each of those wines, just a taste of each with small portion courses (actually, these courses were larger than usual, but the wine was still just a taste).  If they did, I don't think I would remember the end of the dinner!
