These are a few of my favorite things...

How fast is Summer going??!! A couple of weeks ago, my mom and her friend and me and mine attended the Toga Party at Wine Fest in Watkins Glen.
As you can tell, we went a different route with our keep calm tee- shirts

Here are some of pictures of those that did participate in the themed togas as well as some other fun happenings

My husband and I had a date night day at Seneca Lake Wineries where we did some wine tasting and then made our final stop at Harbor Hotel where I got my yummy gumdrop martini & cheese platter
How fun is the tasting list shown below at Rasta Ranch?!
Next up was Grass Roots! 
With free VIP wristbands, we had nothing to lose. 
This adventure included live music, dance, and oh yeah... the VIP tent ; )
This weekend we celebrated my little baby puppie's first Birthday!
We waited until the weekend so GUS, who we dog-sat, could take part in the festivities.
A.K.A. Sleeepppoverrr
*Mocha says thank you Gus, Abby, & Jordan for the present*


They literally played all night long... until they all passed out in the living room

Oh... I almost forgot to mention the storm/tornado that hit Elmira ....



These pictures are from my friend Molly who has a new photography website:

Luckily, we had no damage at our house, but it was pretty crazy all around us!
Due to not have electricity for a few days... these photos to follow took place.
