I love dessert wines
Sorry it’s been a couple days! I have been busy busy, but also pretty productive. I have been working a lot, dog walking and housesitting, so that keeps me occupied and also pretty tired. For Christmas I had gotten my dad a tour at the local winery to do when the weather got nice. I also bought him a bottle of blueberry merlot when I was there. Well now that it’s the middle of July we decided to take Sunday and go do the tour, also with my mom, and my sister (who isn’t 21 yet) tagged along. It was a special tour as they were doing 4 dessert wines + 4 dessert samplings and then we could pick any 2 extra wine tastings after the tour. Unfortunately when we got there they had already run out of desserts from earlier tours–bummer! But we still went on the tour since that wasn’t the main reason we came anyway (although my sister was pretty upset about it). We tasted plum wine, dessert wine, raspberry wine, and peach wine on the tour and then I used one of my samplings to taste a strawberry wine. They were all delicious. I like a good dry wine, but I also like a sweet wine too. My favorite was the dessert wine followed by plum and peach right behind. It was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We also received free complimentary wine glasses which was nice. I saved the rest of the tasting tickets we didn’t use…maybe Samm and I will go visit in a month or so. I might even buy a bottle of that dessert wine if I have any money!
Nursing School News:
-Requested for my summer transcript to be submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office. That means that all my pre-requisites are officially completed and submitted!
-Bought the software that I need for my PDA, which includes Davis’s Drug Guide, Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, Nurse’s Pocket Guide, and Nurse’s Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests. I also received Archimedes 360 calculator and an International Classification of Diseases for FREE! Love Skyscape! I have not played around with them too much although I’m already a big fan of the free version of Archimedes that came with Skyscape. You can easily calculate things like BMI, APGAR score, and a bunch of other things that I don’t know what they are, and it walks you through what to enter in to calculate. Very helpful! I plan to play around with the other products later though. I’ll be sure to give you a review and in a few months let you know how they work in clinicals!
~love always~
