Our good friends Paula and Tim drove two and a half hours here and back on Saturday afternoon, just to spend a couple of hours having a picnic with us, on a gorgeous fall day out at Driftwood Vineyard. I think Tim just needed to verify for himself that John really was doing okay after his hairy episode in the hospital. The Driftwood tasting room is perched on the side of a hill, looking down over all the grapevines, and everyone pulls their chairs close to the edge, to enjoy the breathtaking view.
We usually go there on Sunday afternoons, when there are only a few cars in the parking lot, but we knew something was up when we realized that not only was the lot jam-packed with cars, there were even two limos there!
Sure enough, we had arrived just as a wedding was about to start. It was such a pretty little wedding, I couldn't resist snapping a few photos. I really loved the eggplant and champagne color scheme, perfect for this warmly beautiful fall day.
Good food, good wine, great friends and a gorgeous Hill Country view? I'd say it was just about the best medicine my hubby could have asked for!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It turns out at least one of those limos had nothing at all to do with the wedding. As we were leaving, we spotted a boisterous group of friends climbing into it, dressed in shorts and other non-wedding attire -- a very smart group of friends, who realized it would be a lot more fun to go vineyard hopping if someone else was driving!
