Travel Theme: Tempting

Published by

March 9, 2014

In honor of Alisa’s newest travel theme “tempting” I have a set of his and hers photos.

Grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s is always full of tough decisions. This morning I stopped in the entry debating if I should get the Bunch of flowers or do I pick up the Bigger Bunch. Maybe I could make room in the cart for the Biggest Bunch?

My husbands dilemma is a little more difficult as this year he chose to give up alcohol for Lent. Five days in and he’s doing great but look what’s on his phone…

His last Manhattan, lurking in the photo roll.

Posted as part of the weekly Travel Theme: Tempting.

Redneck Garage

And here I thought Manhattan was part of New York City. Guess I need to get out if the Garage more often. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or a pint of Guinness is more my taste. But then again, I do love a good Merlot. Wente Brother’s Winery has a reserve Crane Ridge Merlot that is the best I have ever tasted…but then again, I may be swayed since it comes from the Livermore Valley.

    I love wine too! I prefer a glass of wine rather than a drink. If it’s a drink, I like Mojitos.

I’m in two minds as to choose the flowers or the cocktail. 🙂 Love your choice for the challenge, and good luck to your husband. 🙂

Big/bigger/biggest – that’s like the first time I went to starbucks and tried to work out the different sizes. 🙂
I hope your husband survives Lent. 🙂

So which bouquet did you get? 😉 Trader Joe’s is where my hubby gets most of the bouquets he gives me. I LOVE that place.

I always regard bought flowers as an extravagance, Lisa, but a lovely treat when your spirits need a lift. Speaking of spirits… 🙂 I really applaud your husband’s strength of mind.

  Bought flowers are a little bit of an extravagance but sometimes the treat feels absolutely necessary. 🙂 My husband is doing great and I’m sure he is going to make it through to the end!
