cat shepard Posted August 23, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! Morning Dailyites & my Sisters. Denise, stay safe out there. Bless you for volunteering your skills and experience. Joy you might get more from the two storms than I do. Just heard that Laura will most like miss The Keys, too. Hmmmm another chock full day. I see “ride the wind” and I automatically think of sailing. I haven’t been sailing since I left Maryland, but it always felt like riding the wind, when the wind caught the sails. Lol on the quote! Meal sounds great. Wine is very highly rated. Average price is $60, so a bit pricey, but it does sound Like an another amazing French red blend. Not sure about when it is best to drink it though. WS is the only one that said it is good to drink now. Two of the other reviewers said 2025. At this price, I would probably wait before opening. #33 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018 An attractive bouquet of red and black fruit, lovely and fresh, clear-cut and complex. Dense and round on the palate, it is powerful yet elegant. Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc WE95 Wine Enthusiast This family-owned estate has produced a structured and dark wine with great concentration balanced by acidity and pure, creamy fruit. It is a wine with a good future. The aftertaste leaves juicy acidity and firm tannins. Drink from 2025. WS94 Wine Spectator This pumps lush fig, boysenberry and blackberry confiture notes along, pushed by a rather polished but ample structure. Lots of anise and violet details cascade in on the finish, giving this extra aromatic dimension. Best from 2020 through 2038. Prayers to all who need our support. 🥂 to those celebrating! Stay well everyone! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted August 23, 2020 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thank you for the daily, Rich. Love the quote and the selection of days.

bouhunter Posted August 23, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2020 This will be dinner today: https://www.cherryhut.com/ Nothing fancy but very good food. And the BEST cherry pies to go. They sell so many, they're usually warm from the oven when you take them out. 🙂 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted August 23, 2020 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 I might be missing the boat, but wasn’t it daffodil day the other day? I might be having a senior moment 😉 Definitely will give my sweetheart a hug today. Love that quote - great advice - LOL. 😄 Fish tacos are yummy, Great meal suggestion. Thanks @cat shepard for the wine description. It does sound nice, albeit pricey especially silly with our exchange rate and taxes on wine 😉 Marley was supervising me working yesterday. He wishes everyone a happy Sunday 😄 Prayers to all on our Care list and big shout outs to our celebrations today. Have a great day, stay safe and don’t forget your mask: I need one like this 😉 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted August 23, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Good morning Rich! Thank you for the Daily. I love the garden fish taco idea. No on the wine. I hug my sweetheart ALL the time! Welcome to our new viewers and hope you jump right in with your type of Daily sharing. Roy, said all my prayers from your list and will toast early today to your celebrations with a mimosa at brunch. Good morning to my adorable sisters Denise and Ann. Ann I saw this morning where the storms are veering. Another historical happening with 2 hurricanes at the same time.. just the historical thing we need right now.. Denise hope you and David are finally rested up from your "adventure" and happy to be home having fun. We had 9 cardinals at our feeders last night and 5 hummingbirds. We sat outside and they pretty much ignored us, so I guess we are all family now. Sweetheart's come in all shapes and sizes: And I guess hugs can be confusing? I had some really funny "ride the wind" jokes, but better post a "safe for CC" picture: Have a Blessed Sunday, hug your loved ones. Wear your mask. Be good. Love ya'll!

smitty34877 Posted August 23, 2020 #14 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Good morning to all. I am a long time lurker...I think Roy's picture is taken in Montreal. It looks like a street near the Cathedral at the top of the hill. Also, Kazu, your dog Marley is just so cute! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live4cruises Posted August 23, 2020 #22 Share Posted August 23, 2020 My vote is Halifax. We spent 2 great days there, and were looking forward to returning this fall. Not to be, sadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigianne Posted August 23, 2020 #23 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Good morning, it will be a hot and humid day in Southern Ontario. Thanks for all the information Rich, you keep us fed and watered with your meal and wine suggestions, thinking with your quote of the day, what we can celebrate and hopeful that the ships are coming to ports closer to us. Thanks to Roy for keeping the lists up to date and to Cat Shepard for the wine descriptions. We are not having tacos, but a close second - fajitas. My best to all for a glorious Sunday. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffodil Days are held on a wide range of dates at the world, national, and local level. Aug 18, 2020 - Daffodil Days are held to raise the awareness of cancer and how to avoid it. Other goals of World Daffodil Day, are to raise funds for cancer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
