Last night I went to a Women & Wine Dinner with my coworker, Mary. Mary is 33, just married and has just joined the college staff in October. She knows what it is like to be the new girl. This is quite comforting to me.
As we were leaving work last night, I asked her if she knew of any cool places to hang out to meet people. Seeing as the boxes in my house are beginning to have personalities, likes and dislikes and different speaking voices, I figured it was time to get out and meet people before I completely cracked.
It was held in downtown Fort Myers, at a bar/restaurant called H2. The chef paired the four courses with the four wines and all told it was $40. Quite a bargain, IMHO, as it was terrific food and spectacular wine. There was even a rose which was not what one typically thinks of when 'rose' is mentioned ... it was complex and crisp, with no hint of residual sugars. Quite delicious!
(Hendry winery, from CA.)
Met some lovely older women, one of which confessed that she had just had breast implants put in last week after having a double mastectomy. She had named the "girls" Thelma and Louise and said she was quite delighted with them.
I really felt at home last night and actually felt like I am beginning to belong here.
