NWR: What wine?

My daughter is 34, married, has a two year old and a burgeoning legal career.
So when she took an entire Saturday to spend alone with me in celebration of my birthday, I was surprised.
We canoed a local river, saw Osprey doing their mating dance, ate lunch on a private beach, shopped for wine for her dinners and my gift, dropped in on old friends (and laughed a lot) and went to dinner. Through it all we talked as we have not had the chance in some time – of meaningful things, like friends, love, life, spouses, the way we see the world and what’s next.
I left her house about 8:00 pm and came home to a glass of rosé with my wife.
‘Told her about my day.

Not much of a wine story, I guess, but one of the best days of my life.

Thanks for reading, Jim

Jim,
What a wonderful day that once again demonstrates the all the joys in life do not necessarily revolve around wine.
Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a truly lovely day.

great post, thanks. Sounds to me both father and daughter are quite lucky.

Fabulous! Sometimes family members forget to be friends. With days like this, you and your daughter never will.

What a great day! Thanks for sharing.

Happy birthday Jim! What a great day.
