• My weekend

  I had planned, a while back, a weekend with my husband in Connecticut.
  Don and I went to see a concert in Ridgefield, then had a lovely late
  night supper at Bulls-Head Diner. This was the only thing open past
  eleven o'clock. I have to say that I was not disappointed at all. The
  food was fantastic! I had a greek gyro, and my husband had a veggie
  wrap. As an appetizer, we split a spinach pie. Delicious. After that we
  went back to the hotel, because we were exhausted after driving all the
  way up and then driving to the venue. The concert was fantastic.
  Although I have to say, Matt and Richard never disappoint. It was great
  to see Helen and Mary as always. This is my last concert for the year
  for any artist, because I've more than past my quota. (Next year is
  Chris Botti in May) The next day, Donald and I went to breakfast at the
  hotel, then we got ready to do some sightseeing. We decided to go the
  Stamford Museum and Nature Center, which was really beautiful. They
  have a fantastic farm out there with all kinds of animals and gardens.
  They also have some gorgeous sculptures and scenic views of the water
  and trees. They farm bees and sell some really tasty honey. They also
  have really wonderful maple syrup. After we spent the day there, we
  went to a wine tasting at DiGrazia Winery in Brookfield, CT. They have
  some really great selections. I ended up getting a dessert wine called
  Harvest Spice. Very yummy. Afterward we found a really great Indian
  restaurant called India Kitchen. Fabulous lamb curry and Navrattan
  Korma. Afterward we took some nature photos and took in some nice
  views, then we headed on home. It was a perfectly romantic New England
  weekend.
