5. Honey Hollow Brewery 10/1/16 2/Aunt Kris. I had the Hurricane Pale Ale.

4. Cape Cod Brewery 7/8/16 w/the folks and The Hall's Part 2

What a fun brewery! The tour is all in one room, where you can keep on taking your 5 tastings, and where kids (or grown up kids) can play games. Quite tasty! 

3. City Steam Brewery in Hartford Connecticut! 6/4/16 with Charlie. It was a spur of the moment find, we'd just seen "Anastasia" at Hartford Stage and it was the only restaurant, that didn't have a wait, in town. There was some big Gymnastics meet in town...

I had the Puckish Monk, very Yum

2. Since the task was to visit 37 Micro-breweries and or Pubs you've never been too before, I think this one counts! It was one of the, lets face it, MANY, pubs I went into in London in May 2016. Founders Pub ... and Young's London Stout was a beer I'd never tried before. Tasty ... and I got the glass! :)

1. Druthers in Albany (3/31/16 with Aunt Kris, Uncle Fred, James & Laura)

If you're going to try the sampler, have a designated driver! It's like 3 whole beers ... and if you're like me, and because it's a "sampler", you can wind up drinking it really quickly. LOL

5. Make your own flower pot and then plant a kind of flower you've never planted before.

This one comes from the list my niece made for me, and while it's not a "flower" I think it still works.

Mom's is on the top and mine is below. :)

Additionally, this is a book that was my Grandmother's ... a woman who loved to read and to garden! Oh, and I did this one with my Mom. :)

4. Experiment with a strange haircut or wild color.

Ok, so this one I'm going to have to ease into (or do in steps...). 

My hair is so thick and wavy/curly, with a tendency towards frizzing out, that I've never dared go "short" ... and I love the health of my hair, and it's color, so at most I've done a home blonde highlighting kit.

Anyhoo, here's step one. A shorter cut than I've had in a LONG time, and bangs. Ok "side bangs" (as they call them), but still ... bangs. 

I'm liking it, a lot, so far! We'll see how I feel after I've styled it straight myself AND gone curly. ;o)

3. Write a letter to yourself that you don't open until you're 40!

The "one to grow on" that is on my list, making it the 41st thing, is to write a letter to myself that I don't open until my 40th Birthday. That is what I am doing right now. 

Since I can not put it on here with out being able to read it I've taken a few pics of the envelope it's now sitting in. ;o)
