christmas eve eve
While driving from pillar to post today, doing shopping preparation leading up to Christmas Eve, I chanced upon a new (to me) wine store, Vino 100, in Newburgh, NY. Fantastic location on the waterfront, nicely laid out inside, knowledgeable and friendly staff and owner, super prices, local wines as well as interesting and unusual wines. Very exciting discovery. I also went to the Cornwall Yarn Shop and Fiddlestix Cafe in Cornwall, NY. The yarn shop is well stocked with yarns of nearly every kind, loads of books and patterns, and includes a weaving component that is enthralling and delightful. The cafe has some of the best and most innovating and unusual home cooking I've had in years, from omelettes with caramelized onions to gourmet pizza and sandwiches to homebaked pies. I also went shopping and made a dent in what's left to buy as well as in my hysterics. Now, however, I'm starting to panic again. The good news is that time will inexorably march along and pass right through gift giving days. The bad news is that there is no way I will have enough and/or adequate gifts for everyone who matters. Good attitude. Not.
