Every afternoon around 4pm you will find my neighbors gathered together, watching as our dogs, Cali, Squirt, Dexter, Chewy, Ruby, Olive, Beachy, Hobie, and Josie…. chase each other and their toys around the back yard. We affectionately refer to this as “Puppy Play Time.” It is a sacred time both, for our fur friends and their people. It is a time to catch up, unwind and get our wiggles out.

I spend hours on Pinterest pinning tasty libations for Friday’s “cocktail of the week”. I love experimenting with fresh seasonal juice and fun liqueurs. The best part of a handcrafted cocktail for me is the Crafting. I firmly believe the cocktail should be as pretty as it is tasty. It is all about the presentation.

I am grateful for a wonderful group of friends who are always willing to try my concoctions and who offer honest feedback!
