A Toast to my friends~with love!

 

As far back as 600 B.C, glasses were raised when sharing wine, not necessarily to toast a friend, but to ensure that the wine was not laced with poison, the preferred method of murder in those days. The word toast actually comes from the ancient Roman practice of dropping a piece of burnt bread into a jug of wine before sharing the drink. This would help balance the flavor of a particularly bad wine by reducing the acidity~~

To your health! 

Welsh: Iechyd da!

Spanish: Salud!

French: Santé!

Italian : Salute

English: Cheers!

German: Prost!

Japanese: Kanpai!

 

Hugs and blessings from Rhonda~

Discovering new things...Lambrusco is a nice new discovery ;^) Every week I've been buying a new wine to celebrate the weekends after a long week~ I share with my sons (the ones 21 and over) and we're deciding which types we like best~ So to all my dear Tabblo friends in this beautiful September: "Iechyd da!" with hugs!

Dear Mike, Ira, Annelies, Jodi, Linda, Celia, Deb, and Figa:
"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?"
- Henry David Thoreau ~~~~I treasure your toasts and your friendships! ;^D THANK YOU MY FRIENDS!

Thank you dear Robbi~ I had not tasted wine until I turned 48...hard to believe...I did notice that my children and I lingered longer at the table visiting and enjoying each other's company...I want them to feel that home is a place to celebrate life and beauty~ all things in their place and in moderation. Hugs

Thank you Patty and that's a pretty clever TOAST too :^) I have never seen the infamous Rocky Horror Picture Show but all of my friends tell me that they want to accompany me- to be there when I first see it...what's the deal with it? Will I flee screaming from the theatre or what? The suspense is just toooo much...
