Oh yes, nowadays we only open our eyes in gratititude 🤣
In the case of crowds we are the same as I also detest having to stand in line like a sheep.
Your dad knew what he was talking about and yeah, the army taught us many dislikes 🤣
I am so bad that my wife has to do the shopping and I wait outside to push the trolly to the car.
But I love shopping, as it gives me a break to sit at a coffee shop outside in the open air with a newspaper. My wife doesn't shop, as she goes on holiday, due to the time that she spends inside reading labels and comparing prices to find the healthiest and cheapest stuff 🤣
We have many wine farms here, all exporting their wines worldwide and many of them have restaurants on their farms. They also have "wine tasting" rooms and play areas for children.
A very rich business if one is in the wine making business.
They have meals at prices that will make your eyeballs dry up, but thankfully we mostly stick to toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches. Now and then we will try something else like this last time, but sadly the food wasn't great.
Blessings to you guys.

I'm all about saving money. Robin's dad always said that a penny saved is a penny earned, but when I go grocery shoping with my better half, it drives me a little crazy as I stand there while she reads one package after the next, checking out ingredients and price. When we go for a big order I tag along and just start throwing stuff in the basket. By the time we're finished she tells me that she feels like she just ran a race and always gets a little upset with me. I guess I'm just in a rush to get back home. Days like yesterday, when she only needs to do a little shopping she prefers to go by herself.
About an hour and a half from our farm are The Finger Lakes. It is a region known for its vineyards and wineries.
We have wanted to take a couple of days to visit there, but have yet to do so.
We'll have to see if we can get there this year.
It's a very popular place and I've got a feeling standing in line may be part of the gig. 🤣
Talking about adult beverages, thanks for the beer my friend!
Have a great day.
One last thing before I go. I'm always amazed at the pictures you get of birds in flight. Well I just caught a pair of Canadian Geese in flight as I scared them away from our pond.
I almost jerked my neck out of wack trying to capture them as they took off. With this weeks theme in #featheredfriends being birds in the grass, I've got some pictures of them on the grass, and I'm excited to include a few pictures of them as they take flight from the edge of the water.
Nope, nope, nope my friend, you will not get me in there even at gun point.
Things have become very pricey here and every month end we are squeezed, even though we have no debt, but I am sure that Marian was trained to do shopping by a very stingy Jew 🤣
She always comes out with one or another "saving".
I will have to ask my mother in law, Mrs. Google, what the The Finger Lakes looks like. I know that the Lake District in the UK is fabulous, but never heard of the Finger Lakes.
Any case yes, you guys should take a break there soon, even if you have to stand in lines.
A break is gold.
I will go and have a look at you geese shots.
Blessings and !BEER
