I had a really fun weekend. On Saturday, I was in my studio making paper. I am always happy as a clam when I'm dipping the mould and deckle into the pulp.

Next, Bob and I had our friends, Bruce and Helen, took us using a free coupon to the Biltmore House. We have toured inside the mansion on other times, but this Sunday, we hiked around on the property and just felt like it was ours. We walked through the gardens, although they were not in their prime. And then we had to check out the winery!! Biltmore House has some very fine wines. My reccommendations are Biltmore Estate Chardonnay, Biltmore Collection Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc de Noir, and Merlot. Those were very nice, especially the white wines, as I don't often drink them because they are too sweet.
