I had my first summertime bottle of sparkling Rose last weekend with Kyla, which means the season has officially begun, and now that it is Memorial Day Weekend, it has OFFICIALLY officially begun! Enjoy your weekend!

UPDATE: My brother is a veteran and he reminded me that this holiday has far more significance than a bottle of wine and a day off of work. So, today I am thinking about the men and women who gave all for our freedom, and how lucky we are.

I see this gentleman working it on a daily basis. When someone asks him for a picture, he strikes a pose and says he is Lady Gaga’s grandmother. Here he is with his morning coffee from the deli.
