Anyone else watching their schedules fill up this spring? There are so many events and festivals coming up, I'm having a hard time choosing what to pick! This week's Memo has us turning inward (a new book club, anyone?), looking out (Charlottesville's annual Tom Tom Fest), and dashing to Target on April 14 for their release of the Hunter for Target collection. Somehow, I think I'll find space in my schedule for that! Thanks for a well-informed Company Memo, Lorae. Have a fabulous weekend, . . .
On Going Home
Over Easter weekend, I went back to my old Kentucky roots and spent a little time in my hometown of Cynthiana. In Kentucky, you are known by your county, not your county seat. Just after we'd crossed the state line, we fueled up. When the gas station attendant asked "where y'headin?" we told him Cynthiana and his face became a question mark. I remembered and corrected.

I'll take my margarita any day of the year, thank you very much. So when King Family Vineyards unveiled their 2017 Crosé, I gave myself the green light for making my favorite blended drink. On a recent trip to the vineyard to celebrate a certain cutie's birthday, I got my first taste of the best rose wine in the region. While the . . .
Company Memo: Easter Finds, Cherry Blossoms, and Coconut Cake

I had such good intentions to post my signature Frosé recipe and give tips for a spring wardrobe, but then snow set in on Charlottesville, and those ideas seemed ridiculous. Thank goodness for Lorae who swooped down with this week's Company Memo to remind us that this is, in fact, spring, and Easter is only a week away. Thanks for the encouragement we all needed, Lorae! Have a great weekend, gang. Easter Egg Decorating Fun Do . . .
