Lobsterfeed! http://instagr.am/p/Ckhfn/ Cheese and bread are perfect wine tasting party snacks. Soak up all that wine in your belly with some really good french bread.

Party People: Katie H.
As you may know, I’m a loyal participant (and team captain) of our city’s bocce league. I met Katie, many years ago, through bocce.

Tweets from this week.
Heck yes, Earth, Wind & Fire Pandora Station. Always appropriate. @MelissaSummers The shoefree people are pretty adamant. But I have to say, if you’re throwing a party in your home, please allow shoes. @daisysf Aye, non-shoewearing homes.
