Fun Drink Friday - FÜNF Wines
FÜNF Wines
When I go for a red wine, I like sweet. The Funf Sweet red is a close second of my favs.
This wine will also go nicely with the Cannellini Bruschetta from Wednesday, as its light flavors will not over power the flavors of the appetizer.
Now, yes and you know it, if you grab a white wine to drink, I'd go with a Riesling
Again, the flavors will not over power one another.
I do like the
FÜNF Wines
and can't wait to try their Moscato!!

Book Spotlight & Guest Blogger - A Celtic Heart by: Joseph Scott
A collection of nature themed poetry and prose by Joseph W. Scott. It has a "New Age" feel for an old world tradition of reverence and passion for our environment. A resident of Massachusetts, Joseph W. Scott has published three books of poetry, from which many of these works have been selected, and was nominated for Amateur Poet of the Year in 2003 by the American Poetry Society. A small percent of the proceeds from this book will go toward protecting our wildlife and their habitat.
Good Morning Joseph and welcome to my blog. Can you tell us a little more about yourself?
I grew up on
a small farm in Massachusetts. I am a
Veteran of both the Army and the Air Force.
I currently work as an Avionics Technician for the United States Air
Force. Avionics is what we call all the
electronic fight systems in an aircraft.
I studied wildlife and forestry conservation and volunteer for The
National Audubon society in trail clean ups.
I’ve been married to my wife Heather for a little more than 15 years and
have three children.
That's awesome!! Thank you so much for your service of this great country and continued service in Avionics!
For my readers who are saying, hey you're both from Massachusetts. Yes, Joe and I know each other. We attended the same technical high school and were in the same trade. Electronics.
Back to A Celtic Heart. Joseph, can you tell us a little more about your book and your inspiration behind the making of it.
“A Celtic Heart”
is a combination of my first three books:
Shades of Summers Past, The Forest Through, and The Romance and the
Tragedies.
I do not want to say it is a
“best of” but more a Celtic oriented themed book of me. I wanted something that summed me up; the
essence of my work.
I am very happy with
the result. It is all three rolled into
one: Memories and a nature loving romantic.
Three is a magic number they say.
It has been my number since, well, as long as I can remember; maybe
because I am the third child in my family.
I have worn that number since I was a child in all the sports teams I
have played for so I felt it was fitting to roll the three books into one.
I am
inspired by the natural world. The
wilderness, the oceans, the mountains, just everything about the Earth is awe-inspiring.
I find my muse along a brook in the middle of
the woods or on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. I humble myself before the majesty of nature
and in the process I find myself. I’m
not sure if it’s my “Scots-Irish” blood that draws me to the traditions of the
Celts but in my book “A Celtic Heart”, it was my intent to try and pass along
some of that tradition while also helping others to maybe find their own peace.
That is truly inspiring!! Joseph, thank you so much for blogging with me today!! Before you go, can you tell the readers, What is your favorite place to write? On Earth and Off 😊
There is a
spot in the woods near where I grew up.
Three fields and a small wooded patch where a brook runs and that makes
the most amazing sounds. There is a
crab-apple tree in the middle of one of the fields that is enormous and if you
read my book, well there you are. Many
of my poems are from that spot.
“Off
Earth,” the moon.
Cool Beans!! Again, Joe thanks for stopping by!! Say hi to Heather and the kids for me, stay warm up there and Merry Christmas!!

Favorite Writing Place
I have an office in my house just for my writing. It was the one thing I asked for when the house was being built.
(well actually one of three 😁, the other two were an island in my kitchen and a soaking tub. Hubs said ok to all 💖)
That way I can get away from all the hub bub going on and concentrate. Whether it's video game noise or someone's binge watching Star Trek Voyager.😜
I can go in, shut my door, put on my playlist and go to town.
I even have a little sign my mother-in-law gave me that says:
The fairies are in the garden working
= No entrance. 😉
And I call my office, 'the office'. LOL. I'll say to puppy, Ok, let's go to the office, and he runs right down the hallway, skids around the corner and up into his chair.
Yes, Elvis has his own chair in the office. Otherwise he'd be sitting behind me all day 😋.
I call it 'the office' well, because it is, LOL, and when I leave for the day job, I say, "I'm leaving for 'work'."
Elvis is not a fan of mommy going to 'work'😩
I even brought home an old antique office chair, it needs to be worked on, but it's great!!
When I'm just puttering around and have something on the stove, like today, I'll bring the laptop out to the living room.
But after Sunday lunch and watching my weekly addiction of Naruto 😀 I'll head to the office.
So, lunch is coming soon and my DVR'd Naruto, Later peeps.
Read Lots and Stay Spicy!!
