Today we woke up and it was not snowing… however, as the day went on, the snow did come back!  Very pretty at times, too.  Luckily, I was able to get out for a private painting session down the road, so it was nice to get out and learn some new techniques from a great…

Tonight’s beer we shared… by Rogue, it is Hazelutely Choctabulous Candy Bar in a Bottle.  At 5.7% ABV, this is pretty smooth and you can taste the hazelnut.  If you aren’t a hazelnut fan, this may not be the beer for you. As for Kristen, she chose the Brownie shot – she said ‘Yum!’ to…
