Oh, you are a fountain of information, woman! Thank you. I guess I didn't realize that you were in so deep with the hospitality industry.
Wine tastings, bourbon bars, sipping liquors... all such peaceful ways to pass the time with good company.

Haaa yes, I was in there and everywhere for 35yrs...restaurants/pubs/clubs/nightclubs/resorts/islands- low class/high class/5*/backpackers...everything.
I always wanted to own my own specialty cafe bar and call it ...the Chocolate Bar..🤣(ofcourne...lolsz..)
You would love the menu...both the food and my delicious cocktails too...
But then after my first heart attack in 2010, which made me stop drinking..my priorities changed and I realised what my true purpose in life was- which I am still battling to achieve- 12yrs later...
I do miss those days though, especially the wine tours and long lazy liquid lunches, but just don't have time anymore either (alcohol does not mix well w heart meds either..) and am happy to have $$$ in my pocket than over the bar too..
I hear that! I am such a disappointment to the wine (and alcohol) industry. My drinking consists of sips as I was never a real drinker, but, I have always been happy with that. I joke about wine, but, that is where it ends. I had alcoholism in my extended family (Uncle and aunt) and I don't find it in the least attractive.
I think the heart attack did you a small favor in some ways. Alcohol rarely even mixes well with life for most. Chocolate Bar? I love it. Sounds like a great cappuccino/coffee bar!
And yummy!! It sounds delicious!
I was never a heavy drinker in the sense that I drank daily and just for the sake of it, but as a hospitality worker, I was a heavy drinker as it was for me as a party thing and I had a lot of parties, a LOT of GREAT times which I do not regret at all, but yes, I am (to an extent) thankful that I did have that first HA so I could take the time to stop and reconsider my future.
Soz, no coffee in the Chocolate bar...well ok yes there is, but the spotlight would be on the chocolate versions of coffee styles...🤣
Well now it's 1am and I do need to sleep, so I will say bonne nuit and I hope that you continue to have a wonderful day (while I snore my head off..🤣)
This was my 6th day at work and I have just 1 day off-tomorrow to do so much (clean up after Indy..) and something for me- my purpose which I haven't had the energy or motivation/confidence to do in the past 6months and I have promised myself that tomorrow (today) is the day, as it's a Monday and I love starting things on a Monday because it's a fresh start..
Oooh oh ooooh and I think that Clive Cussler's estate and the state of
Virginia need to create the great Cussler tour around all of those places in Virginia mentioned in his novels! I would be the first visitor!!! 😃
Goodnight gorgeous Denise!
