We like our friend a lot because he visits us often, not so much to buy but to spread hello's and fair thee wells. In fact he came by the other day and made a point of searching us out in the back just to say hello. That is something that we can only wish on everyone. We asked ourselves how many times is it that you just "drop by" to say hello and smile a little. He reminds us that we should do more of this. Anyway, our friend wrote:
"So sorry I can't visit with you today as I had a business trip who's return was messed up by the weather and travel delays. Please put aside some White's for me - at the sale price of course!! A friend here lent me the use of a cabin as the motel selection was between thin and none so I spent the night in the country. I managed to find bird feed for the feeder you see here and was greeted by a bunch of cardinals first thing and they looked magnificent against the snow. This cabin has a radio and no TV and after a bit, in front of the fire with take out Chinese and a nice white Bordeaux it was almost like being back there, albeit the same wind sounds.
It would do me well to do this solitary overnight every once in a while...probably do everyone well who needs to "decloud" a brain and lower blood pressure. It brings to mind a theory that has no scientific fact for a basis but could explain why we all have BP problems now and then - I don't have to complete the sentences - but a night with just a radio and a fireplace in the middle of no-where gives some insight.
Hope your tasting is as successful as always. I see on the Internet weather that you are getting the snow and if I follow the clearing weather line, I should arrive back to the Village about the time your tasting is about to end so forgive me for not making it. How lucky you will be to have folks who go out and stomp feet and come see you and feel proud for braving the elements, chat with you and your folks flashing genuine smiles in return.
TTYL"
