Day 189 – Country Club Bloody Mary’s

I was invited to a baby shower at the New Bedford Country Club in Massachusetts. Vinny’s niece is pregnant and due in September. There were over 100 ladies there and the spread was absolutely divine. I only knew about 10 or so of the ladies but I had a great time nonetheless. My sister in law scooped me up and brought me to the main table to sit with the family which made me feel quite honored.

As I sat chatting with my extended family, I realized how blessed I am to have been so welcomed into this close knit family so many years ago. Living closer to them now has only strengthened those bonds which is heartwarming and amazing. As I was chatting with my sister in law who is the soon to be Grandma, she asked me what I wanted to drink. After we ordered and I heard her order a Bloody Mary- simply in conversation, I mentioned to her that I had never had one before. She said they were so delicious and I just had to try it and the country club made the best one she had ever had.

So, for my intention today I decided to spread out from my Mimosa comfort zone and try something different (when in Rome right??). It was really good! It was a little spicy and I could taste the tomato base but it was somehow refreshing all at the same time. I sipped away on my newfound brunch beverage and enjoyed the company of a truly wonderful group of women. #HappySundayFunday #HGAL
