Crisp weather, incredible wine, and chatting up kind strangers made for a great time and weekend at the fall wine festival in Norfolk, Virginia. It was a rainy day, but there was no way I was going to let a little rain stop me from having a great time tasting some amazing wines. I’m no stranger to the wine fest scene, but this go-round couldn’t have come at a better time. There was chill live music, beautiful people, and a great variety of red and white wines to choose from and check out. The different vendors were knowledgeable of their merchandise and had excellent customer service. There was one vendor, in particular, West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery, that had a delicious selection called New River White. It’s incredible. Learn more about West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery here. I also ran into a few familiar faces during the festival too and enjoyed learning more about different wines I’d never tried before or was ever open to trying. If you’ve never been to a wine festival, you’ve got to try it sometime. It’s just a good time, and a lovely experience to indulge in during the fall. Do something fun this weekend and enjoy yourself. TGIF!
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
