We had a great time, and if anyone ever gets the opportunity to form a wine club, <em>do so!!</em> Yes, it&#8217;s mostly ladies who meet, but the gentlemen also have to opportunity to be fawned over and treated as kings of the moment.</p>
<p>Wine does that to women, you know.</p>
<p>Anyway, because I am the only one of the group that doesn&#8217;t live in the neighborhood, I have to drive, so my alcohol intake is very minute. At most, I drink maybe half a glass, and then just have water. When I get home, I will then have a glass of wine before bed. That&#8217;s pretty harmless, unless you happen to get a phonecall from a friend.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Friend: I was wondering if you could do me a favor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me: Sure, what&#8217;s up?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Friend: I have a gift exchange coming up, and I would like to give something more personal than a gift card.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me: What did you have in mind?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Friend: Well, one of your canvases would be perfect.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me: Oh sure! I can do one. Any theme in particular you would like?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Friend: Christmas, or Harley Davidson?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Me: Christmas it is&#8230;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong></strong>So now I have yet another project to do this week. That makes about 20. But most of them are ornaments like this one:</p>

<p>Busy week for me, but at least I&#8217;ll be doing something I love, right?</p>
<p>I just hope I don&#8217;t glue myself to the chair&#8230;again&#8230;. 😉</p>
