Thursday Trios – Another Special Delivery
…I love receiving parcels at the door
Last week I had a trio of wine arrive at the house for a special wine tasting Zoom meeting. Last night my husband and I enjoyed a bit of all three wines paired with cheeses and the special jellies that were also sent with the wine. There were close to 50 participants and both my husband and I were glad that the meeting was muted until the end if you wanted to ask questions. Being muted allowed us to be less self conscious and say whatever we wanted to each other. Even my husband had to admit that it was fun.
Tonight I signed up for another Zoom meeting (also organized by Alumni Week for the University of Guelph) but this time it is for a craft beer tasting. Not sure how this one will work because I can’t imagine tasting all six beers in one sitting. We’ll see how it goes.
I love the labels and the original names on Craft beer cans.
A trio of rosebuds to round out my Thursday Trio post.
Do you have any photos of trios? I’d love to see them. Just copy the link from this post and paste it into your post and I will get a pingback. Have fun!
My Husband’s Bright Idea
…thanks to Becky B for hosting BrightSquare https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/22/bright-square-22/
Last Saturday my husband surprised me with another date night. We both got dressed up to enjoy a delicious dinner that a local restaurant partially prepared and delivered to our door. Most of the courses are completely prepared and only need to be heated up or finished in the oven and the pasta is measured but needs to be cooked at home. My husband loves to cook so none of this is a chore for him and he loves to plate food. One of the best parts of this meal is that all the proceeds go to charity and this group of young professionals donates the money to St. Joe’s Health Care Centre.
Not only was this a bright idea but it was also the bright spot or highlight of my week. Here are a bunch of square photos that should make up for the days I’ve missed.

Thursday Trios – #10
…it seems that somewhere down the road I numbered one of the posts incorrectly but it is now corrected
Looking for trios can be challenging but sometimes they are right under our noses. Case in point, the photo with the stringed instruments is in my living room and the yarn has been hidden away but it was in my house.
There are no rules as too when you post, how often, or what you post as long as there are three objects, people or animals. Join the fun and copy my link and paste it into your post.

Taking Time Out to Pose for the Camera
Today the backyard was a hive of activity for the squirrels. They were climbing the trees and jumping from one branch to another and there was a lot of chasing going on. This one little guy appeared to be enjoying the sun and just stood there soaking up the rays.
Water, Water Everywhere – #63
….thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/02/08/bridges-fan-of-96-and-water-water-everywhere-63/
Drips, drops and blobs of coloured water. When you don’t get outside you need to come up with some inventive water pictures. I always have water on my art table and I started playing with the water, brushes and paints.
This eventually became a painting. I’ll put it in my next post.
