Do something new every month

Making Red Wine from grapes.
From 700 pounds to 40 gallons.

Lots of work de-stemming by hand but well worth it.

A fantastic way to bond with friends and have a great time.

Hot Air Ballooning…

What a rush… actually quite the opposite; I felt totally relaxed, stress free and laaaaaaaaaaaah

With the winds we were going 25 mph at the higher altitude, but it felt like we were hardly moving… hence the relax state!

Today I tried mountain bike riding for the first time at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, NH.
It was exhilarating… my dog loved it too.
Biking over tree roots, rocks, up, down, what a thrill.

I bought a bicycle last month and am enjoying regular weekly rides on it.
Since I live in the city and I’m a little scared of all the traffic I keep it at a friend’s house and we’ve come up with Bicycling Wednesdays!

Quite a feat I tell you here

granted I was the passenger and I cautioned my cousin not to dip too steeply… because I’m still a little scared of the tilting… but oh do I like the speed!!! My adrenaline was pumping when we hit 160 km/hr

Made up a Raspberry NON-Dairy Tiramisu that tasted divine and was fairly low in calories

yeah… even through replacing the skimmer assembly!

Hiking – on a regular basis. I simply love it. Now if only the rain would go away…

Have one of the greatest vacation ever, with a couple of gay guys, and thoroughly enjoy myself.

To boot, my parents loved my friends, and my Mom forgot her arthritical pain and aches and felt herself at least 10 years younger….. now that’s quite an accomplishment… of course the French wine helped a bit too!
