Happy 28th Anniversary to us!
We might be new empty nesters, but we are celebrating 28 years of being together! We celebrated this year by going to all our favorite local places wine tasting, dancing, and being together!
Always Lake City Pub
Lake City Pub had a special guest for what is normally open mic Wednesdays. Cruz Contreras of the Black Lillies gave a fantastic solo performance, with special guest Billy Stoops and Leanne Trevalyan!
A “Davine” Evening with Kurt Lindsey and Kristin Marlo
We’ve tried to catch Kurt Lindsay and Kristen Marlo live a couple times since seeing them at the Mill. This last Saturday we were able to see them live at Davine Whiskey and Wine Bar along with some of our favorite folks!
Even the Dull Days can Shine
While we love sharing all the crazy things we get up to, the reality is “Killin’ The Empty Nest” includes all the non-glamorous pieces of life, like running errands together on a Sunday afternoon. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a great time together and spice up the mundane day-to-day by swinging by a cute restaurant for lunch and getting in some dance practice and wine tasting at home!
Back to the Beginning of July
With the August Singer-Songwriter night coming up at The Mill this week, we wanted to share a throwback post to the last singer-songwriter night from July!
Billy Stoops and the Dirt Angels in Buckley, WA
We took a trip to downtown Buckley to listen to Billy Stoops and the Dirt Angels; our first time getting to hear the whole band live! We enjoyed dancing on the sidewalk and meeting the folks who lived in the area.
Sunday Sipping and Supper Series
We enjoyed a fantastic church service before cooking together in the afternoon this past Sunday. We love whipping up a fun meal and pairing it with one of our specialty wines.
Phew, We’re Exhausted
We fit in just about every single thing we could this week! From wine club member night at The Wine Spot, to live music at The Mill, to Billy Stoops at Twisted Fork Saloon… And that is just catching you up on what we did throughout the week!
Back to Lake City Pub
We enjoyed Billy Stoops and Leanne Trevalyan playing at Lake City Pub during the Saturday live music night. We had a great time dancing and seeing some folks we had previously met who are also empty nesters that have taken up dancing.
Product Review: Show Her Off
It is Product Review Wednesday again! Today we want to share where we learn new dance moves from: Show Her Off!
There’s Always Time for Wine Tasting
It had been a busy week and weekend, but we had to make time for a specialty tasting at The Wine Spot! They are even featuring a raffle to win a 3-liter bottle of wine and support our local food banks! Make sure to go enter!
Billy Shew and Cockrell’s Cider
Back to Cockrell’s Hard Cider again! This time to see Billy Shew and the Sole Providers, another local band we love and have seen around.
Product Reviews: Week 2 on Menofit
It has been two weeks using menofit! I am excited and disappointed by the progress I am seeing and some things that are remaining stagnant... But it is only the first two weeks, and it is great to see improvement!
Saturday Sun and Fun
Saturday was a long day of fun plans! We made it to both Cockrell Hard Cider and Lake City Pub to see Sweet Thang and the Stumblers and then Dustin Lafferty. We briefly tried to challenge the sun in the grassy field at Cockrell’s, but finally admitted defeat and ended our night inside at Lake City Pub.
A Night of Ballads at Olalla Vineyard
We spent a warm summer evening tasting wine at Olalla Vineyard and Winery while listening to Billy Stoops and Leanne Trevalyan!
Heading to Cockrell Hard Cider Tasting Room
We headed to Cockrell Hard Cider in north Puyallup for the first time this week! We got to enjoy Billy and Leanne playing live out on the grass in gorgeous 75 degree weather!
Product Reviews: Protein Bars
I (Denice) love these Kirkland protein bars from Costco! But you have to be careful when picking out protein bars to avoid ending up with glorified dessert. These bars check all the boxes for me!
8 Hours at Lake City Pub
It was one long Saturday at Lake City Pub, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! We started off with a graduation party for our daughter, Lexi, with live music from Billy Stoops! And then stayed through the regularly scheduled entertainment from Kim&Brian.
Tuesday Tasting at The Wine Spot
Second Tuesday of the month and we are back at The Wine Spot! They had another fantastic 2 reds and 2 whites, and we walked away with a couple bottles… We expect to back soon for the wine and stories alike!
Product Review: Meno Labs Day 1
Look what arrived! I am so excited to be starting this journey with meno labs. This is the first of many weekly updates on this and other products and how they are working.
