Getting there.
Amy
Is envisioning her world as it will be. She is grateful.I want skinny 22 year old abs too, a 22 year old butt and thighs might be nice too. I can’t say I want a 15 year old butt, thighs, and what not considering I looked like a boy at 15.
Just ‘learned’ mooning this last summer. Found out there is a protocol for propper mooning to have maximum impact and effect. How hilarious is that?!!!
The frosting test was a success, but the jelly may need some changes. Will move when I apply the jelly to the cake to see if it works well with the frosting. It sort of overpowered the jelly.
8 weeks, I know, it’s long, but it gives them a chance to look for night work for me, which is what I really want.
Both of these were really nice wineries. Grape Inspirations had an advantage over other Indiana wineries in that their grapes are shipped in from all over the world allowing them to do wines from grapes we don’t have here (merlot, chianti, etc.)
Ferrin’s had lovely fruity wines, nice and sweet. I bought a bottle of the Pina Colada wine, but it was hard to make up my mind. They also had a unusual and nice chocolate wine.
At Grape Inspirations, my favorite three had to be the 2 ice wines and their sweet port. It was so smooth. They had lots of other wines I liked, but out of all the wines I’ve tasted at all the wineries I’ve been to, those 3 wines are the most memorable.
Since both of these wineries are in the city, you don’t get the sense that you are at an operational winery. No grape vineyards outside, no big giant oak barrels around the tasting room, but the wines were excellent.
I only have one more winery to finish the Indy Wine Trail, which will be my first complete loop of the 3 loops.
I visited both this last week. Huber is huge and also has a cheese store, a produce store with breads and other things, and an ice cream shop. The store was really nice and there seemed to be a u-pick. The drive was absolutely beautiful. I bought a bottle of the sweet marcella. It was a nice sweet red.
Turtle Run was very small family owned and very quaint. Surrounded again by a beautiful drive, and a quaint little town. I bought a CD of Tuscan music and a bottle of raspberry wine. I also got a recipe for a blackberry cake from the lady there to make to drink with the wine. The cake is made with blackberry wine, which I have a bottle at home from the Mallow Run winery. I really liked both of these wineries for completely different reasons.
Sent an email out to my email list of about 300 asking for partial cans of interior house paint. This will get me closer to starting because once the materials are in the studio space, it will be easy to start the mural. Need to paint all of the basement walls white to start with, and possibly wire brush the surface to get it smooth.
Excited about getting started.
I’ve finalized the cake part (peanut butter cake) and most likely will remove the jelly filling from inside and just bake a jelly glaze on top befoe we frost it. The next tests will be frosting tests.
Just finished this new painting, hoping to have it in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s artist member show in July.
I really liked a handful of their wines. Had to stop tasting because they were all good. They had a lovely all strawberry wine, and their Catawba Autumn Blush was really nice too. I left with a bottle of the Arbor Red, but I also liked their Dew Drop. It was all wonderful. I would like to try more of them on another day. It is very close by, so this winery is somewhere I will visit again.
I made a visio floor plan and put it on my vision wall. It has the sleeping area, the studio, the kitchen, and the bath. I’m just struggling with where I want to put the hot water heater and furnace unit. I did the whole floor plan then remembered it. I can add a couple more feet onto the length of the house and make it happen, but not sure if I want to do that. I really like the overall plan though. Going to search for the arches I want today online, and go to the tile store for samples of the tile I want for my vision wall.
Remote location, only 1 room with arches seperating the sleeping space from the kitchen, bath, and painting area. All hard wood floors. The sleeping area is raised 2 steps from the studio. bathtub in the sleeping area, and not the bath. 8 foot ceilings in the sleeping area, and 10 foot ceilings in the studio. Kitchen off the studio. Whole building is only 20 X 20. Large windows in sleeping area and studio.
I investigated the prices to be ready.
About $500 for 2 adults and one child. I told my son to work on his fear so that he doesn’t have to be scared of the noise. We’ll be going to the balloon race at state fair this year, so we’ll work on that.
