As a lifelong introvert, I've never been much of a joiner. And yet I've felt so welcomed in our lake house community that it's been easy to get involved. Initially unsure about how things would play out here in our gated, golf course location, we've been pleased to discover everyone is down-to-earth and friendly. Though we've run across some younger folks with kids, they're definitely in the minority here. I honestly don't mind the older crowd because that's where I'm headed as I creep closer to 60.
The women's club's first meeting last month was a fashion show and lunch. I sat at a table with the ladies from our street, and had a lovely time. The club house has an excellent kitchen staff that always presents tasty meals. This month, the women's club planned tours and lunch at a couple wineries in a nearby town.
Best part about the day was that they hired a coach so all of us could ride together, and thus we had a designated driver. Not much of a drinker, I've gotta admit that first winery did some generous pours and I was feeling pretty happy before lunch time. By the fifth wine, I was requesting just a splash, please! Fortified with some food on my stomach for the second winery, we wrapped up a fun day of tastings. Ten wine samples in, y'all, and I found a couple bottles of whites and reds to purchase.
I love the pic of the house above, our second stop. Built in the 1880s, it's an historic home from the nearby town that was moved to be the centerpiece accommodation for the vineyard.
