Good morning!  Hope you’re having a good week.  We made it through Monday, so it can’t be all bad! 🙂 I’m excited to share about a fun gathering I attended over the weekend – somewhat of a weekend re-cap, I guess.

The girls in our office started doing a quarterly event.  The first one was a painting class at Easely Amused.  This past weekend we did a Wine & Cheese day.  We each brought a bottle of wine and Tina had a beautiful spread of cheeses, crackers, cookies, and dips.  We all gathered around to taste wines and pair them with various appetizers.  The conversation went anywhere from work to personal to past stories.  It started out as a girls event, but Tina’s married to our Managing Partner, so we popped in for a bit and then another guy in our office was out golfing near their house, so he stopped by for some free food.

Aren’t those wine bottle candles fancy?  I’d love to make some of those!

Grapes, Brie, Pepper Jack, Cheese Ball, Prosciutto.

This was the craziest drink… it was purple and sparkly.  I mixed it with the Riesling I brought and it was delicious!

I’m so thankful for the girls I work with in my office.  We don’t have any catty people to deal with and we all get along really well.  I’m excited that we’ve started this tradition of quarterly get together’s to spend some time outside of the office laughing and getting to know each other on a more personal level.  Everyone has a fun and different personality, it’s been nice seeing that come out at these gatherings.

• Do you get along with the girls at your workplace?
• What type of activities/events do you with the people at your work?  Or do you keep everything separate?
• What wine & appetizer would you have brought to the event?
