I am thankful for............

Good friends and good music!

Saturday night, our good friends Ironbelly and Cyndia invited us to join them at Tabor Home Winery in Baldwin IA.

First of all, Ironbelly needs his own blog. So if you are reading this ..... start writing!!! Ironbelly writes the most delightful "Thoughts from the Belly" for the Scott County Master Gardener newsletter. He has a wonderful garden filled with native plants and has worked with a lot of prairie restoration in eastern Iowa. Besides -- he is really funny and has a great sense of humor that comes through in his writings.

But back to the topic on hand.

Martha and Paul Tabor know how to throw a party. This was in celebration of the 2008 Foch Nouveau. The "house" band and one of our local favorites are Dalziel's.......... Scott and Michelle. They write a lot of their own music and do a lot of covers. Funny and witty -- Scott and Michelle are always a good time.

As you can see, Ironbelly and Cyndia can cut a mean rug! For those that are younger than I (and that's most of you!!) that means that they can dance! And dance they did!!! You should have seen them dance to "Mustang Sally"........... a perennial favorite at all Tabor events.

We really had a great time -- wine, song and good friends. What can be better than that?
