Cold gray winter. What a nice change of pace to attend a Pool party with friends last night. That is pool as in billiards. A group of mostly golfing friends gathered and shared stories of the holidays while playing cards, pool, and eating and drinking. After the December rush of parties it has been a quiet couple of weeks so it was nice to be out in the social circle again. Cocooning in January is so nice but it was fun to see everyone.
Our own pool table has been covered with drop cloths as we continue the basement redo. A drain back up this summer has left the basement in a state of upheaval as we have painted and Steve has added new elements for his wine hobby.New wine racks have been added to a corner of the basement and Steve is hoping to collect some rackable vintages as well as fill some of the empty slots with his own homemade wines. We tested the Chardonnay which has been brewing since September and found it to be approaching drinkable. Steve played winemaker extraordinaire and added a little sugar and declared it good until April when another taste test will determine if it gets bottled or needs another month.
