Blessed Christmas to all our family here at the Daily. 

 

Thankful to Rich for his ever faithful postings, even while enjoying his cruise with us. Thankful to Roy for our cares and celebrations and being steadfast throughout his treatment. Thank you Ann, Debbie, and Summer for our food and beverage recipes. And to our Jacqui who has brought us smiles and inspiring posts as well as our Daily garden club help. Love to you. I'm so touched and blessed to have this thread to come to each day.

 

Last night we had a lovely dinner in the dining room and m Oops! Wrong thread! See you on Rich's Rotterdam live from!

 

Love, Blessings and Cheers!

Good morning.  Merry Christmas! 

Thanks for the Daily Report.

Funny quote from Seinfeld.

Thanks for the meal suggestion, but we're having a turkey breast in the crockpot, maybe we'll have the ham another day.

Prayers for everyone.

Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report.  Merry Christmas!  The dusting we got yesterday remained overnight so it’s kind of a white Christmas.  Turkey is on the menu and the Pinot Grigio is chilled.

Merry Christmas to all. Thank all of you for the best gift of all: friendship.

[cat shepard]

Merry Christmas Dailyite family! A brisk morning here! The deer are visiting & the sun is just coming up. I am hosting the Christmas meal, though a local restaurant has done most of the real work. 
 

Thank you Rich for our On Location Daily! Roy thank you for keeping our lists. I always think I catch everyone’s update, but you seem to find a few things I miss.

Santa & his reindeer will soon be able to take a well deserved rest!

 

 

 

 

And for next year…..

 

 

Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone!

Laudato Pinot Grigio 2019

A nice, reasonable Pinot Grigio with very good - excellent ratings. More than one consumer referred to this as the “go to” white wine. Fairly easy to find, with online prices starting at $16.99.

About the Wine

Veneto, Italy - Bottled by Santa Margherita - Laudato is dry with bright citrus and apple flavors. Framed by a crisp acidity that leads to a clean, smooth finish. Loved because of its flexible taste profile, including medium body and fresh unoaked fruit flavors.

Style

Crisp 

Taste profile

Citrus, Green Apple, Lemon
