After spending most of the weekend happily knocking multiple items off the to do list, it was so nice to receive an invite to a wine tasting.

We only had an hour, but sometimes that is all that is needed for a respite from work.

There was time to laugh with a dear friend,

and with the women who were conducting the tasting.

As an added bonus, I got to a little shooting.

Despite my rusty trigger finger, it felt good to play with the camera.

Perhaps I’ll stop back by to do a little shopping.

All in all, it was a lovely way to spend an hour,

and it’s beginning to feel like the holidays.
