Ode to the grapes🍇

I'm working on my 3rd glass of wine. 🍷I just thought I should warn you.                                    I don't think wine drinking will ever go out of style. Wine seems so classy, even elegant at times. I found myself humming this old song I used to love, and I then I remembered a few of the lyrics. "From the vine came the grape, from the grape came the wine." A great but underrated group called "The Gaylords" sang that little ditty. That's them below. ⬇️

Seeing how it's been years since doing a blog post, I've forgotten how to add certain things like song links, but I'm gonna try. Give this great song a listen. You'll be happy you did! Cheers, y'all! 🍇🍷🍇

Kiss me once, kiss me twice 💋

It's been a long, long time! (See what I did there? I was compelled to use an old, classic song title. I can't help myself!) I haven't posted anything since June of 2011! Wow, shame on me!

I guess I should try to explain why I haven't posted in the last 11 years and 5 months, but I'm not in the mood to write about that now. I just wanted to get back on the "blog scene", and give it that ol' college try. 

Let's chat about a cute little plant that is currently coming into flower on my lanai.

I absolutely love that one of it's common names is "palm beachbells"!  I love, love, love palms and the beach makes me feel young and revitalized. The blossoms on my particular plant probably wouldn't overly impress too many people, but they sure impress me. Here are a couple of photos of mine. I love that the flowers hang upside down. They're kinda pinkish/salmon/cream hued with a reddish "stripe" and a yellowish interior.

The original plant was given to me by a wonderful, compassionate and thoughtful friend. She'll be featured in a future post. I'm privileged to have her in my life.                          This sure hasn't been an exciting, witty, vibrant comeback post, but at least I'm back! I used to feel a cathartic release when I blogged. I hope this go-around brings the same release. 

I'll be in touch! Speaking of touching, here's a close up of a rather famous (or should I say infamous?) touch as imagined by an artistic genius, Michelangelo.
