It's that time again. Reverb time.

Reverb was a term (and an ebook) coined by the lovely Gwen Bell a few years ago. She started a wave of bloggers reflecting on the past year and looking ahead into the future. I was one of those - and still am!

So, starting next week, I'll reverb once again, reflecting on 2012 and my aspirations for 2013 by responding to a different prompt each week. It is my hope that my reflections will help others think back on the past year and on their aspirations for the future too. The process can be an incredibly eye (and heart) opening experience. Feel free to post your own reverbs if the prompt for that week inspires you (and let me know so I can read it!).

In the meantime... I'll share with you some photos I took from a recent day trip to Fredericksburg, Texas with my mom and sis. Fredericksburg is a charming Hill Country town nestled between miles and miles of vineyards. We enjoyed lunch and a nice leisurely stroll before heading over to Hilmy Wine for a little tasting. Delish. We each walked away with a bottle. I walked away with a red (The Temp 2011 - a blend of tempranillo, mourvedre, sangiovese & carignan...yummy).

(What I'm listening to these days: Monteverdi. I never realized how beautiful this was. I visited my Grandmother over Thanksgiving and asked her if she'd like me to send her any music - classical, she said. I got her this. I think she'll like it.)
