Can I just say even though it's really 100 degrees outside right now I'm feeling a little chilled? Yep. The AC is pumping hard in our office I get this constant flow of air right by my desk making it a little unbearable at times. Days like these make me so excited to hopefully become a school nurse one day so I can have the summers off and actually enjoy them! Guess only time will tell.
Yesterday I started working on our drink menus for each of the dinner tables. Joe and I have made five different types of wine and Joe made nine different brews so we want our guests to know what we've been working on since September.

We seriously need more space at the house when Joe is in the process of making his beer. Not only does he take up the whole kitchen (I won't even try to make dinner/be in the kitchen when he first starts each batch) but we have beer related items all over the house. From the carboys to the millions of bottles we around for bottling. Each batch makes around 40-50 bottles, so times that by nine batches and we really look like a bunch of drunks. Good thing we still have a roommate who likes beer because I do not help Joe with the emptying of bottles. (Don't worry, we've had to buy new bottles and Joe got a bunch from a coworker so he's not a drunk either:)
So back to the drink menu. I've been playing around a little bit in Photoshop and think we're going to take a normal 8 1/2 x 11 and fold it like a book. On one side we'll have the beers and on the other side the wine. I even used Photoshop to spruce up a picture of a milk can to throw on there. (Joe and I took home a very rusty one from his Grandparent's farm on Sunday!). It's simple but I love it.
We'll have to head to the Paper Depot again where we got all our paper for the invites and pick out something for the drink menus as well as some for our programs but it's just another little detail I am loving:)
