  Today was one of the last really beautiful Sundays we’ll have this year and it was a great time to take a color ride and see what’s left of the colors. My friend’s significant other cooks at and manages a little Italian restaurant down in South Haven that we’ve been wanting to visit, so that’s where we headed. Fortunately, there’s also a new yarn store there (Needle in a Haystack) and a shop just for dogs (Decadent Dogs), so we took Ginger for a ride.   Beth meet us at the yarn store down there and helped me decide on which color yarn to get for a new sweater project for myself that I’ll be starting in January at a Knit-a-long with my knitting group. Lovely Red Heather…. on a cabled hoodie… yup, just call me Little Red Riding Hoodie. From there to Vincenzi’s for Sgail’s speciality Chicken Florentine Pizza. So good!  We also added a house salad and garlic bread to the mix.  WE will go back again for a regular meal perhaps lasgana??? I have to go back in a week or so to pick up my yarn anyway. and then a quick trip to the doggie store to get some treats. One of the only stores that really allow dogs to wander and shop at will. Ginger picked out some doggie treats like, Poodle Puffs, French Bulldog Fries, Corgi Canolli’s and more. We now have a bag full of these all natural doggie gourmet treats.  While there, Ginger picked out a new pillow for the newly redecorated bedroom… of course in pale blue with froo froo trim. And not to be outdone by our iPhone, she got her very own iBone… squeaks and all.  We decided to take the slower route home down country roads and passed a sign for McIntosh apple orchard and winery.  Didn’t even know there was one down this way…. so a quick u-turn and 4 mile drive down a 2 lane road brought us to the best tasting we’ve had in a long time.  We brought home a case of apple wine, raspberry wine and cherry wine… and not just any cherries, but Hungarian cherries. (I’m drinking some right now and it’s so good), a couple of jugs of apple cider, a dozen apple cider doughnuts, a jar of  black raspberry preserves and a jar of blueberry mustard.  Yeah, we’re bad. Also took a few pictures,  this was the best of the whole lot…. ya think these guys know Thanksgiving is around the corner??
