G an...

G and I went to the spring wine fling at the Princess hotel last Saturday. There were over 800 varieties to choose from, I believe I sampled about 12 different types. The food was very excellent, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, cheeses, and chocolate dipped strawberries were a few of the choices.In the beginning I tried to keep notes but when things started moving too fast I couldn't keep up. We did select a few new wines to order, the Forest Glen White Merlot and the Jackson Triggs Icewine Vidal. The Icewine is a desert wine made from frozen grapes. I spoke to my x-husband on the phone last night. His mother is in the hospital in Anchorage. She has some sort of cancer (type?) and has been bleeding from her kidney. Being the dutiful son he is, he wanted everything possible thing done for her. I've been working some exhausting hours at work this week, next week doesn't look better. At one point I thought I was coming down with some sort of bug. I want to slow down at work, I'm not going to work any extra this summer, I swear it!
