A Late Summer Evening - Good Music - Good Wine

By
Real Estate Agent

Last evening, The El Dorado Hills Community Services District and the local Chamber of Commerce, hosted a delightful Saturday Night in The Park event. In addition to many activity booths, and a fun filled Kids Area, they featured one of my favorite Summer Concert Series bands, “Island of Black and White.” My daughter, granddaughter, and 5 other of our family and friends claimed a spot on the lawn, and rolled up a cooler packed with picnic goodies, and drinks. It was a very large crowd last evening, in the thousands. Once the sun found itself lower on the horizon, temps dipped from the midday 90s, to a comfortable degree. It was nice to just veg out in a lawn chair under the trees, listen to great music, watch kids play and dogs frolic, as some folks danced!

In addition to the wonderful Sangria my daughter brought along, was an amazing bottle of New Clairvaux Barbera brought by another family member. It went really well with the beef and cheese roll-ups, chips and dips, etc. The New Clairvaux vineyards and winery are tended by the monks residing at the Abbey of New Clairvaux at Vina, California.

Myrl,

How fun!  Nothing like good food, good wine and good friends.  I checked out the Clairvaux link, and could not find anything about the wine.  I will look on Google. A

Myrl Jeffcoat - As I read your post, I couldn't stop thinking of my first piano piece that I memorized and mastered. It was called "In the Good Old Summer Time!"

That's exactly what this post reminds me of. Oh, how I yearn for one more family picnic...

I love your family stories. They are such an inspiration to me.
