I believe R Kelly said it best when he crooned, “Baby it’s the freakin’ weekend and I’m about to have me some fun.” Well it’s certainly not the start of my weekend but it sure has been fun. It’s been jam-packed with friend-filled activities and super heiss weather. The recap:
The weekend commenced with milling around downtown for First Friday in the Crossroads district. I’m embarrassed to say that this was my very first FF. In previous years I had had plans to go, but for some reason they always fell through. So I was really excited to finally make it happen.
Saturday was an early morning for eight of us. To celebrate Annie’s 25th birthday Kathryn set-up a tour and tasting at a local-ish Missouri vineyard. After driving for a couple hours we arrived at Les Bourgeois vineyard to check out their operations and see, swirl, smell, sip, and swallow about 15 different wines. Cheers!
That is a lot of wine.
Couldn't leave empty handed!

We had time for a quick nap and shower before it was off to continue the birthday festivities at The Cashew downtown. The bar has great atmosphere and location, but is short on common sense. Rule of thumb: when it is 90 degrees still in the evening, with barely a whisper of a breeze, close the windows and turn on the AC. Everyone in the bar had a strange glisten and sheen for the extreme heat and perspiration. So besides being uncomfortable and sweaty, the night was a great success.
Babes.
And now it’s Sunday. The best way to continue this weekend is pool-side lounging with a couple of friends. Life is grood.
