T, wine, and paint
Holiday greetings blog friends! Almost the middle of December already and I hope all your holiday preparations are falling into place. Now, onto what you've come around for......the weekly drink to be shared with the T-gang.
Last Tuesday evening was the Bakersfield Bucklist Bunnies first fundraiser. The event was held at a Restaurant and wine bar. The dinner was a 5 course meal with a wine paring with each course. There was also a silent auction of some gorgeous gift baskets, and even a side chair. Also a nice fashion show put on by one of our sponsors.
My really good friend Cathy went with me
The food was very rich.....but tasty....this is what was left of my fillet. We also had shrimp, lobster bisque (it was more like a stew....) and there was one more entrée and a dessert, but I can't remember what they were. I don't think I finished one course..........and still left FULL!!
Neither Cathy, or I, were impressed with the wines......so I drank a lot of water, plus I still wasn't feeling very well. But this even was planned and paid for long before I got sick.....LOL
The blue raffle tickets were for............
The Grand Prize
All I can say is: Sure glad I went cause it became a "winner, winner...chicken dinner" YEP! I won the grand prize!
Sunday night was an other event I paid for before getting sick, so I went. It was Paint Nite. This is how they set the rooms up for the painters......rather close....
but I still found a spot for a glass of wine.....LOL
The beginnings of my canvas......This is NOT the type of event to "learn" how to paint...exactly.
Looking down the table I was sitting at.
Now, these are supposed to be clouds.....????? yea, me too....LOL I was following what the instructor said, instead of what I know. So I ended up with a purple elephant across the top......can ya see it yet???
So this is what I ended up with.....a representation of what it was supposed to look like......ROTFLOL!!
Of course I had to prove that I was the one behind this flying purple elephant........LOL
Now it is time for me to get busy on some errands, still early Monday here so I'll link up with the T-gang a little later.
Inky Hugs

That artist SUCKED. That was the worst cloud I've ever seen. Elephant is right. Elephant in the room was the "instructor." Looks like you made the best of it and laughed at the entire event, regardless.
Thanks for joining us with wine, wine, and more wine for T this Tuesday.
i hope you feel really good soon and can enjoy your prize!
happy t-day!
Too bad your instructor had you paint "elephant clouds", but I'm sure it made for a memorable evening.
Happy T Day!
I think you could have taught your instructor a thing or two about painting but I'm sure you enjoyed the evening with other painters anyhow.
I've missed you.
We went to our nephews wedding in Paso Robles a few years ago and had such a good time. Congrats!!! on winning that super prize!!!
Those paint party places are popping up everywhere here on the east coast too. It looks like fun.
Hope you are feeling tip top very soon.
Happy T Day

I've seen storm clouds that actually looked like that, so I think they look more like clouds than you think ;)

I'm hoping you are feeling a bit better now.
Thank you for sharing the photos.
We are having really lovely weather here. I'm sitting on the terrace baking in the sun and have had to come in as I can't see the screen very well!(Indoors it is cold mind! Tonight we will light the fire).
Happy T-day and have a good week,
Lisca
