Maybe licking?  Sucking?
5:17pm
Made it home!  thought of you as we cruised through the vineyards on the Eastern tip of Long Island… have you been out there?  Dozens of tasting rooms!  Hope you’re having a great day.
5:18pm Phil
Never been out there. I know there are many vineyards and wineries
5:23pm
It is so rural and the water views are gorgeous… restaurants and motels right on the water.  Reminded me of that area along I-90 between Niagara and Erie… acres and acres of grapevines.

Hiya kid!  Hope you’re having a good Saturday!  I’m out with Mom at the Chinese buffet.  Nothing like their hot & sour soup.

And I got a manicure for the first time in… forever!  Mom needed a pedicure, so I tagged along and let them do my nails.  I got RED in honor of the RED SOX!  Whee!  Can’t help but think of how that hand would look on certain parts of your body!  Mmmm….

Hiya kid!  How’s the family?  Hope they’re well and happy.  Did you see the Boston teams yesterday?  Such fun!
