Sometimes I decide not to look forward to an event because it might not turn out as well as I had imagined that it would. Such was the case with the wine tour we were going on last weekend for my daughter’ s birthday. Her sister had it all set up and they even let me invite some of my friends, but I purposely didn’t get excited.
It was an even better day than I could have imagined it would be. Sunshine, family, friends, fruit of the vine, food and lots of this type of picture…
I decided it would be fun to snap a few photos at each place to remember things later on. Well, if looking at strangers behinds does the trick, I was successful. (Note to self: Don’t taste every wine ever made in Niagara County when you want to take memorable photos.)
As you can guess, as the day went on, things got very warm and fuzzy and I have a case of assorted wine in the basement that I can’t remember what tasted like what, a collection of the worst photos I have ever taken, some lost items, great memories and a nice little bonus for me.
The bonus is that kids have wonderful friends who, even though are young and could be embarrassed hanging around with you, seem to enjoy your company anyway. (And that was even before we had our first stop on the wine tour.)
Plus, I didn’t cry. My daughter thought that I’d get all sentimental about my kids being all grown up and she is the one who ended up blubbering. Picture that!

I love your post! At least your photos are of humans and the sky or trees, (those are what mine usually are).
